when people judged a Farmer by how he grew his crops. People didn't look at the old barn or the ragged equipment or how he dresses or what he drove. They admired his straight rows ,quality crops, his weed free fields , his good looking animals. That was the true measure of success in agriculture to be admired by family, friends and strangers because it showed that you gave it your all and circumstance had no bearing because you accomplished what was in your control.
I was reminded of this yesterday when so many farmers now care more about how big their house is or how new their truck is or how the hired help keeps their lawn and get to brag about the acres they plant.
