western iowa,by Denison | kinda a unfair question ,but probably new more at 16 -when I go through the history of our family corporation,i can tell every thing that happened from age 14 on,and the price of fuel was dirt cheap-maybe 30cents a gallon.
Was in the farm op class of 1979-and looking back most of the instructors were clueless-not to mention some bad advice from bankers and etc.Sat in on Neil Harl's class and thought the most knowledgable person was the shop class student teacher-out of 259 students I think 10 ended up farming-I'm 1 of them-they told me-3professors i would never make it?
When ever I had a common since approach it was shot down?We had a instructor that asked the same questions,when he asked what our fuel consupmtion was I explained to him that we picked earcorn and that we saved more fuel then the average farmer used just by not having to dry corn-He said it wasn't practical on a 600 acre farm,I then asked him if it was on 1000 acres because at the time we where pickin 1000 acres of earcorn!
I'm kinda surprised how many agriculture professors are disconnected-not implying anything to you Joel-just a 1979 ag-op farm kid that would never make it! | |
