Rufus Ragsdale - Jacksonville, Texas

I'm here because I'm part of the family farm.  I could have probably have done something else, but I came back and stayed here.  I really own this place and I know just about every hill and every hollow.  I know just about what every part of it will do, what the production is on it, whether anything ought to be planted, what pastures ought to be in pasture land, or ought to be in grassland.  I know all about it by being in the family so long, it's just a part of me.  I don't know what I would do without it now. I'm out here everyday.  I get up early in the morning, come straight here. I learned how to make a little profit here and there, to stay out here with it.
