I remember when I was about 12 years old, working for a cousin of my father's, walking cornfields with a 5 gallon bucket picking up ears the picker dropped, for the whole sum of 35 cents per hour.

And he complained about having to pay me that. He always had money for booze, though.

Then, the first two summers I was in high school I worked for a neighbor full time for $100 per month and thought I was getting rich.

The summer between my Junior and Senior year, my father got a job off the farm so I ran the farm and went to high school at the same time. Then the fall after I graduated, my father got laid off from his job so he went back to farming and I joined the Marine Corps.

I've noticed, too, while knocking around Corporate America over the years, that a startling number of high ranking executives have a farm background.
