It is what it is!

I live in North Central Missouri where my family farms 1200 ac of corn, soybeans and wheat. We also raise 100 head of black and red angus cattle. I farm with my brother and father. I think farming is the best job in the world. I like nothing better than to combine for three days and nights with no sleep and then to sit in that shed when the rain finally comes enjoying the sound of the falling rain and the taste of that ice cold beer for a job well done.

I believe in a hard days work and loyality to family and friends. I have some of the best friends a man could ever ask for. I learned how to be a man from my family and I hope I can be half the dad to my son and daughter as my father has been to me.

A little background about our farming operation, my dad Carl started farming in 1964. My brother and I have tried to take over most of physical labor end of the farm as dad is 77 years old now and wears out pretty quick. But my dad works 7 days a week, it keeps him young. We farm 1200 ac of row crop and we… Continue
