Malicious websites continue trying to lure me to their webpage with beautiful women wearing hardly anything. I am 63 years old, they’ll need photos of banana bread fresh out of the oven or bacon frying to get my attention.

Way to go Ringgold County, Iowa! This sign can be read along US Highway 169 as you enter Ringgold County, Iowa. My father used to say, “ You should never cuss a farmer with your mouth full.”

My father was a lifetime farmer and when I was a boy I remember him as being a pessimist, especially about the weather, but as he aged he became more of an optimist and when under pressure he’d say. “It always works out.”

And if the whole wide world stops singing
And all the stars go dark
I'll keep a light on in my soul
Keep a bluebird in my heart

Some of this land has been owned by our family for 126 years and we aim to keep it a while longer.

My entire life I've heard the old saying “Knee high by the fourth of July” as a way farmers could measure the success of their corn crop, but, my father would always say, “We don’t measure our success until after harvest.”

Let Grandpa show you
How 2 sweat & swear & rip your jeans; recite a prayer & eat ur greens.
Skip a stone & plant some seeds; put down the phone & pull the weeds.
Avoid bug bites & ivy itch; playground fights & a willow switch.
Fish 4 Bass & Channel cat; glove a ball & swing a bat

In 1974 corn was worth $3.60 per bushel and I was earning $2 per hour and it was that day I decided I wanted to be a farmer.

47 years later, corn is worth about $5.70 per bushel and Iowa minimum wage is $7.25.

Birdy, birdy, in the sky
Dropped some whitewash in my eye.
I did not fret, I did not cry.
I'm just glad that cows don't fly!”
