Dad quit Motorola in "76 bought another 80 in addition to his 120 and went into full time farming. Increased hog operation, decreased cattle. After college, went to turning wrenches and found that my "busy time" was his as well. Lucky enough to have a younger brother to help more with the farm and I helped when I could. Dad got out of the cattle by "80, sold the 120 in "81 and bought a 160 that joined the 80. Dad got out of the hogs in the mid "90s and took on a small amount of rented ground close by. Dad turned 69 before Christmas and still cranks out the corn and soybeans. Sorry, I kinda got long winded there didn"t I!
