With the fall season just around the corner, I reflect back on memories from the summer. Your first thought might be that I took a vacation. Nope. Growing up, our family never went on vacations.

We all love a good story. We all like to see the bad guy lose. And we all like to see a big girl squeeze into a wedding dress that’s three sizes too small just to watch her family cry. That’s why they created “reality television.”

In the last few decades, there have been huge strides in alternative ways to make power. Trust me, if there is a cheaper way to do anything, a farmer will figure it out first.

I met my new neighbor this last week. He just bought the old place down the road and moved here from a big city. He said, “I wanted to move to rural America because you just can’t put a price on family values.”

My cousin is a doer. The problem with a doer is: Sometimes they’re doing good – sometimes they’re doing bad. In my cousin’s case, he generally has no idea what he’s doing.

If you're reading this, you are one of the six people who read my column. Thank you. Actually, if you are reading this, then chances are you’re a farmer or work in agriculture.
