Even though I was born and raised way out in the country, my folks were not farmers. However, from my earliest memories all I wanted to do was farm. I took every opportunity to be around tractors and anything related to farming. All my toys were farm related. When in high school I started working for a farmer and when I graduated I started farming for myself. I haven't farmed in several years now. I rent out my farm land and just raise cattle. Here's my point and my question. I have two sons and a daughter. All grown. I have four small grandchildren, the two oldest being boys, ages 10 and 7. None of my children or grandchildren have ever shown the slightest interest in farming. None ever played with farm toys. None ever cared much for being around a farming operation. My daughter and son-in-law do occasionally help with the cows if needed. The grand-boys have absolutely no interest in any of it, even though, as I said, we live in the heart of farming country. I had hoped that some one of them might develop an interest in farming but I'm starting to doubt it now. And in case anyone is wondering, no, I never pushed it on any of them. My question then is; do any of you have a similar story with you family?
