Some people wish they were farmers.
Some people wish they married a farmer.
...but what they should really really wish for is to be raised by a farmer because...
... if you were raised by a farmer you will have learned how to get up early in the day.
....if you were raised by a farmer you will have learned how to work long in to the night.
...if you were raised by a farmer you will have learned how to manage your money from one harvest to another.
...if you were raised by a farmer you will have learned that sometimes you do things you do not like to do simply because the people who provide you with food and shelter have told you to do it.
...if you were raised by a farmer you will know that sometimes you don't get a coffee break, lunch break, vacation leave, or time in lieu until at least January as long as the livestock are fed and the road isn't blocked.
...if you were raised by a farmer you are probably the best employee your employer could ever get because you have a sense of responsibility, self respect, and accountability that does NOT come by being raised by people who cater to your every whim, treat you as if you were a delicate piece of china; who spend money on an education that teaches you facts but not skills of life necessary to make you a happy, proud, and contented contributing member of society, who knows what your work is worth while at the same time knows the worth of work.
The land too poor for any other crop, is best for raising men. Pocock, R.
