I think that Bruce slept fine. Bruce has excellent control over his business plus has vision. He also enjoys what he does. Start taking away any or all of those factors then the dairy business is maybe a couple steps above being slave labor. The dairy business actually requires that farmer put a lot of thought into what he does not unlike an engineer or some other white collar professional. Water quality is very important for production. A cow that drinks only enough to survive due to poor taste will never put out maximum milk production. How many farmers went through their entire careers without consideration to that. So much for the notion that farming and in particular dairy farming is for the uneducated or uninformed.
I wonder how many get that Bruce enjoys what he does? That his business is not a burden to him. Everybody's experience is different as to farming. If you grew up in a situation where you were treated as unpaid labor and nothing more then it is understandable that you wanted to leave once you graduated high school. It does not mean that everybody else had the same experience. Some dads wanted to be the undisputed boss and that makes it hard to want to stay around. That he never wants to be told when he is wrong when in fact he is quite wrong about something. At that point it is probably best that the kids find something else in life. Some kids tried to work their way through a bad situation only for it to eat them up so bad that they took their lives. I'd rather go find something else before it got that bad but not everybody sees it that way. There was traditionally a strong guilt factor in the farm community for quitting but thankfully that attitude has faded quite a bit in the last decade or so.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
