wc mn | My buddy who went to UND with him says he is the smartest person he knows claims he is some kind of market savant, took me out to his place a few years ago. He took us pheasant hunting on his farm. Real farmer and clearly loves farming, it's his passion. Lives, eats and breathes agriculture. He's part of a group of farmers that built an ethanol plant. Owns some John Deere dealerships. I think has something in Brazil. He's a blast to be around, no way could I keep up with him, even when I was 25! I was a complete pile the next day. Those people came from total poverty, live humble like Warren Buffet. Remind me of my parents, work and church. Salt of the earth. Funny story, we brought our expensive fancy hunting dogs out there and he had this $50 black lab farmyard dog. Out hunting, his dog was so incredible and obedient, best I've ever seen. We got so pissed at our dogs we put them in the pickup. We hunted with him and his dog it truly was something to see. Dog would flush em and he would kill em before we could even shoulder our guns. He's a great shot never seen anyone kill partridge grouse and pheasants like that. I started calling him "trigger". Best day of hunting my whole life. We were drinking beer that night and his dog drank some too. We got so drunk we spent the night in his shop. Dog slept outside cuz wife don't allow pets in the house. Buddy says dog is worth more than that old farm house, I agreed...so we let the dog sleep in the shop with us. Shop is way waaay nicer than the house! | |
