Hey, JD! Best wishes...yeah, and one thing not mentioned here is that a lot of farmland in NW Iowa, especially, is corporate farming solely for profit, no matter what they do and how it harms the environment...back in the 1990's I worked for a farmer friend a couple of summers while the job market wasn't too good, over in the area south of Newton. I helped with the cows and did some plowing and hay work, and did some maintenance and repair on equipment. I had fun! I now live down here not far from Chariton on a 5 2/3 acre patch with a pond, part of a former cow pasture with hay ground all around, with the opportunity to see how small farms are working out given all the current circumstances. Keep up your good work and stay active!
