What makes a good farmer?
It starts with pride. Pride in himself and in the way he farms. He knows he can expect a season full of long hours and hard work. But he’s up to the challenge. In fact, he wouldn’t have it any other way.
A good farmer is a good neighbor, too. Involved in his community and committed to the land. He’s a family man. Passing knowledge on to his children so they’ll be ready when it’s their turn to farm.
A good farmer runs a tight operation. But his eyes are always open; looking for new ideas and tools that can make his business a little more efficient; a little more productive.
He listens hard when other people talk farming. But mainly he takes a long look at his own program and decides things for himself. Throwing out what didn’t work and sticking with the things that did. Upgrading his system until his goals are reached and then upgrading some more.
He’s hard to please, but he’s fair. A good farmer, in short, is one of America’s greatest natural resources.
