55 years and 1000 acres is an accomplishment
but come on dude
its not really setting the world on fire
there are many others that have put together more, with less, in half the time
as for the 80's comment, ummmm, farming is a business. yes a family farm and growing up in rural america is a livestyle. but farming is a business. and with all business comes cycles and sometimes bad eras and even bad decisions. many other industries and people have lived thru as bad or worse. its part of doing business whether you are a farmer, small business owner, or big corporation. FYI hes not the only one that made it thru the 80's, and there are many that did and now run 10-20K with a 1/4 to 1/2 of it owned.
not to mention this guy is in NWIA. are you kidding me, some of the better ground in the world. hes hardly had it rough
IMO this guy is more arrogant than the son he is trying to berate
