We also have 10 other families that help us. Anyone of us has the ability to walk away and find another "job" but we prefer our "life" on the farm. I don't know of anyother livelihood that has the opportunity to observe miracles on a daily basis.

They are not only hard workers, great teachers, successful business owners but most importantly hands on moms and dads. Can most corporate owners say that? Nope.dangerzone511https://www.blogger.com/profile/04906359380184654882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199031291075236240.post-30798086101470436392012-04-12T17:34:56.947-04:002012-04-12T17:34:56.947-04:00Funny--I went into dairy farming because I thought...Funny--I went into dairy farming because I thought it was the best "job" around. I emphasize job because it's really much more than that--it's owning your own business, it's choosing your lifestyle, it's living in a community of salt-of-the-earth kind of people, it's raising your kids in a great environment, etc. After 40 years I can definitely say I made the right choice. I doubt that any of those values were on CareerCast.com's criteria list.Jacknoreply@blogger.com
