Growing Up in the Farm Business
By Cassandra_BHM | September 16, 2011
I am what most people call the typical farm girl. I grew up in a ranch with my family and have loved farming since I was a kid. Every day I would wake up to the sounds of chickens cackling and as I open the windows, I breathe fresh air and enjoy the sunlight. For so many years I enjoyed my farm life and I learned so much about how to run our ranch. I looked forward to helping out in the field and as I grew up, I was doing management tasks, too. Years of experience made me prepare for the day that my parents finally turned over full management of the ranch to me. As I was the eldest, I was given this huge responsibility. My siblings were glad to help me in the many activities as our ranch developed.From time to time, investors would visit our ranch and give proposals on upgrades and ownership. The whole family was not open to this idea as we wanted things to stay ‘old fashioned’. We didn’t want to spend on fertilizers, chemicals and pesticides that were unnecessary. We knew that these would only contaminate the soil and therefore, our produce.

I also owned a restaurant, Ken, and I agree with you, it is not easy running a restaurant especially with restaurant loans that we keep thinking. Thanks for this informative article.
