I started out farming, then I was a long-haul truck driver, then after that I worked on the oil rigs,” he said. “I would help my dad on the farm; it’s just something I felt like I had to do. A lot of it is family obligation because we grew up farming.”
“I started farming in 2013. This is my 10th year on my own. I would help my dad before that; he started here in 1976,” he said. “Don’t get me wrong, I love it. If someone is lucky enough to have a family farm and their family is trying to help them enough to do it, then that’s why they do it, because it’s an opportunity for one in a thousand.
“I always run this combine, it is its 32nd harvest and its 30th year on our farm,” he said. “I remember the day it got delivered on the farm. I was 13 years old. I remember riding with my dad for the very first time in it. It seems weird, but to me it’s part of the family.
