The core values that farming teaches are just tremendous.  I think God had a divine plan.  If we take care of the soil, it will take care of us.  We produce something that people need everyday.  I feel knowing that I'm doing something to produce food and fiber is a rewarding job.  Maybe not all that financially, but it gives you a sense of accomplishment.  When you like what you do, it is not work.  Just close to nature and the whole universe seems to be at your hand...the fact that it is a family operation.  It's not always smooth sailing, but there's always that bond that brings us back together.
