It was my wife's family farm, so I owe all that to her.
I'm proud of my wife. She retired last year as the principal of an elementary school. She's the one with the education and the brains, except for that lapse when she married me.

Farmers are my heroes, my dad and brothers are grain farmers, and my mom's side are dairy and vegetable farmers. You have my upmost respect, a farmer married to a teacher/educator, just doesn't get any better than that my friend.I'm the black sheep in the family(like i need to tell any of you
) i moved away to college and own a real estate investment company and don't want to ever retire.
