Subject: Re: So how many highly educated farmers are here



Oswald No-Till Farm Cleghorn, IA
I am proud of my formal education but doubt it has made me much or any? more money than a lot of guys with less formal education. My time at the university was really good for me in other ways.

1979 Certificate in Agriculture but decided to go further
1981 B.S. in Agriculture went back to farm
1995 Master of Agriculture took it at nights and off campus met a lot of long term friends at class in the winter

If I would have stayed on campus for grad-school like I was asked to do by one of my professors, I likely wouldn't have come home to farm... I likely would have just Piled it Higher and Deeper and put up with University or Corporate politics as opposed to neighborhood politics.

What a long strange trip the education has been.... and never ends.
