My apologizes. I didn't mean to sound like it's all about money, becuase it's not. My father started out working in the coal mines at age 14. He then went on to work over 30 years in construction when he retired in '91. He is now 71 year's old and has always farmed, at least a little on the side. If it's one thing that he has taught me is that you get an honest days wage for an honest days work. And I would agree, it is about being fulfilled after looking over a fresh cut hay field at the end of the day. Small farms are all they are here, and I know and realize that elsewhere family farms are in danger from huge "factory farms". I guess that's the way of it and we can't do anything about it. But farm life is in my blood and I can't do anything about it. And I wouldn't even if I could. But I do beleive that if you work hard, just as most of you do, that eventually you'll get what you deserve. Maybe I'm young and stupid or just plain nieve, but I beleive that with a little, no, make that a lot, of hard work, anything is possible. That's all I know and probably ever will. Casey
