Great stuff man.

I own and manage a small business that was started in 1870, specializing in providing and marketing inputs for feed mills. Their products are used to grow food for you! Last year I mortgaged my property and invested $1,300,000 and produced 16,244,000 lbs of corn and 1,500,000 lbs of beans. The corn runs the local feed mill for 1 week! That still blows me away....The beans were trucked to a barge on the MS then sent to New Orleans, where they shipped them to China to produce plastic and oil. So guess i'm just an 'ol, "thumbs hooked in my overalls, straw chew'in, tobacky spittin ",Louisiana, dirt farmer. For 22 years I have been CEO, equipment operator, shovel man, maintenance man, financial planner and marketing director.
My Wife teaches Junior High Spanish and Computer Lab which basically pays our insurance, taxes ' thanks Obama" and retirement, whatever that is... "
Over the years I also have done industrial welding, and residential construction. I LOVE building houses! Taking one from the dirt to the shingles is a lot like building a Bronco, with the exception you get paid!
Farming is FUN, You do the same thing every year but since your dealing w nature , it's always different and challenging. You get to operate cool , big equipment and play in the dirt. There has seldom been a day I haven't intentionally slid sideways on the dirt roads on the farm, I bet I have more off-road hours than Robby Gordan and Walker Evans combined! Albeit much slower and bumpier The mechanics of bringing it from a seed to user product, is like a fast paced ,slow moving race against nature, w huge pit stops!
Last couple of years we did GREAT.;D Next year we hope to break even and keep on going 'til the next marketing boon. The hurricane years are bad.... no hurricanes in 3 years%)......kind'a scary!!!!!
Cool to see all the jobs people do. It takes all of us, to keep us protected, linked, sheltered , moving , healthy and fed!
Oh yeah, EAT MORE CHICKEN!!!!
