I remember wanting to quit school to farm in the second grade . My parents went ballistic ! The more they tried to make sure I would never farm the more I wanted to , It only got worse as I got older . Worked a BUNCH of different jobs to get here . I started out as a stripper ( worked at a furniture refinishing operation ) , traveled around working Fair's a couple years , Spent 1 summer riding bull's ,mechanic at a IH dealer , ran a sandblasting & painting business ( still have all the equip ) drove truck ( still have 3 ) , did service work on trucks & trailer's . Usta buy wrecked auto's , pickup's or semi's , rebuild them to sell . When 45 ft flat bed trailer's became legal I bought old rusted 40 footer's , rebuilt them put 5 ft in the middle , sandblasted & painted them to sell . Bought hundreds of antique tractors for resale or to part out . Still have 20 or 30 around here to get rid of . Anything for a buck until I could farm full time . When I couldn't rent enough ground to farm I did custom work . My oldest was running my second combine by the time he was 13 . We were doing around 2000 acres of custom back than . I did get around 1000 acres rented as some of our custom guys retired .Hasn't ever been easy but I made it and I wouldn't change any of it .
