One day, while sitting on a combine chopping some grass for our dairy farm, my Uncle said this...

"You know, when it is all said and done, and the coffin goes in the ground, it is the farmer that is the richest man of all."

I do not think he was talking about money.

I spend all day with my wife, and I am here when the kids get on the bus, and when they get home. It is a lot of work, far more then 40 hours a week, but being a farmer has its rewards.

I am more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money.
