    Congrats to all.
    Farming has always been a challenging occupation, there has always been so many challenging obstacles to overcome! From weather to diseases to day to day events to price declines keep farmers on their toes. It is so labor intensive that many give it up. Here in Nebraska flooding is destroying family farms. Oncve a farm youth , thru 4H or FFA geets thje dirt under his/her finger nails they are usually hooked!
