LOL! No. I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I did. I have been a simple 'Soil Conservationist/ plain Grazing Specialist for 17 years with the NRCS. My supervisor (currently) is a District Conservationist that presides over a single county. As such, my 'official' duties are to work within that county, and maybe to a limited extent, within an 'Area' which is a group of counties within the state (Ohio) having turned into a 'veteran' at this, I now do work all over and for the entire state and am often consulted for assistance by District Conservationists across the whole state. I've wanted to be a State Grazing Specialist for over 10 years but figured I'd never get the chance. Well, I have been hired/promoted to be the State Grazing Specialist in South Carolina. It's quite the step up for me and I'm scrambling to get ready as I didn't expect it. So that is why I'm moving to SC. To be of service and for work, not retire. Not yet anyway. I've got 11 years if not 16 before I do that.Setting at an auction with more junk than farm equipment. Any salad looks delish.
Mark you retiring?
A lot of us are tiring of people moving in areas and bringing development and high taxes. Preaching appreciated.
That said I've toyed with moving. There are not many cheap areas now that are not high tax. Everything has been run up high. LA, MO, AR and KS?
I'm comfortable where I am and could be comfortable anywhere (within the United States). This gives me a bigger opportunity to help others.
