“As the farmer who won the lottery said when
asked what he was going to do with his winnings: 'Keep farming until
it's all gone.' "

While driving across Wyoming and Nebraska on my way to the Badlands, I saw quite a few windmills, many of them still operating. It brought a sense of nostalgia about the earlier era of the family farm or ranch. I wonder how long corporate agribusiness will last? Is it here to stay? Will we one day return to the era of the family farm, or is that long gone? My wife grew up on a family farm in Nebraska, and four or five of her uncles were also farmers. I believe that upbringing contributed in large part to her ethic of hard work, ability to adapt readily to change, and pragmatic mentality.
