I grew up on a farm too. We sold when I was 12 because it was getting harder to make a living. Dad said you had to get big or get out. I now know that was a quote by the secretary of agriculture under President Richard Nixon, the inevitable result of fiat money.

We went back there recently in a drought. It was heartbreaking.

It’s a struggle, we used to have more animals and land, but labor intensive work and regulations made it hard to stand it. Now I’m just into gardening and I hope I can make this place maybe a little more beautiful again.

Get big or get out… that sucks.

I’m so so sorry to hear that Azz but I hope you can build yourself the future of your dreams…. 🫶💚
