10…little, working for Jesus, and doing a little fishing. Who knows what the next 30, 40 or maybe even 50 years will bring? I’m looking forward to the next adventure & I expect I’ll soon have a new puppy, but I’ll always remember Ratón, one of the best dogs ever. Stay relevant!
9…didn’t have to deal with people, that’s not true…and to the next generation. We’d all be better for it if we had more respect for the next generation and were willing to let them have a crack at things. Now don’t worry about me, I’ll maintain my relevance by farming a…
8…didn’t make it in. I felt awful for him and honestly, he wasn’t the same after that. To sum up my rambling, I want to offer my respect to dogs, they have a heart that most humans don’t have. To veterinarians, I always thought they had it better than doctors because they…
7…relevance by riding in the gator when I checked irrigation. As he became more decrepit, it got to where I had to lift him into the gator which was really insulting to him. Last week I thought I’d make him feel good by backing off in a ditch so he could jump in. He still…

6…generation more respect than that, so I’m setting them off in their own early in life so maybe they might have the chance to do the same for yet another generation. I’m young enough, I may well start a new business and do it all over again, I don’t know. That leads me…
5…relevance. I’ve seen many operations where the patriarch won’t let go and they end up with a ninety year old guy still telling his 70 year old son what to do, and when the 90 year old dies, the 70 year old doesn’t even know how to run the farm. I think I owe the next…
4…my equipment except for what I need for haying and changing our rent deal to more of a standard rental deal where the decisions are more out of my hands. It’s the right thing to do, but I’m young enough it has been a little tough because I don’t want to loose my…
3…over to the next generation. If you didn’t know, I have rented the biggest part of my farming operations to my son and my employees. They’ve been working their way into this for 2 seasons now and I’ve decided it’s time to take the training wheels off. I’m selling them…
