[QUOTE="Dave, post: 351011, member: 498"] In my day job I work with farmers. A couple of my co-workers work with the backyarders and flashlight farmers. These people are not 20 year olds. They are commonly in their 40's and 50's and older. You wouldn't believe some of the stories my co-workers bring back to the office. The 5 gallon soil sample is nothing. The trouble is that too many people are at least one generation away from the land. They have no idea about the things that are common place for people who grew up in a rural environment. Kids these days are smart. They just learned different things than we did growing up. Sure there are lazy ones. But I bet if you went and looked up my classmates from PHS class of '69 you could find a bum or two maybe even three. I know of at least three kids in my son's class of 2000 who are operating their own business and netting six figures with just a HS education. I have a lot of faith in this younger generation.
