I hope not. I try to be diverse and do a lot of different things. Trouble is, for somebody just driving by, all they see is the farm. The problem too is, some people think that this is still 1950 and if you farm, you work hard. You don't know hard work until you milk too many cows all alone. My hard work ended and my life started the day they went on trailers.
A friend & customer of mine who was a 3rd generation dairy farmer said he felt like he had been let out of prison the day the last load of cows went down the road...he farmed for about 10 more years & died of a massive heart attack. |
Is your entire identity a hard working farmer?
