If you need any good ideas, I'd really like to see a movie on Company 'B' and 'K' of the First Michigan Sharpshooters; Co. B had two Indians (my great grandfather and his half-brother) & Co.

Except for the cattle rancher, it looks like I'm the only farmer on the Wall. That even a worst percentage than even in the real world! I'm the fifth generation on what is now a 400 grain farm.

Since agriculture has hit such desparate times, I've also run a business for a number of years. It's turned in to something very signifcant as time has passed.

I do distribution and serve as a Sales Manager for a large environmental technology company. I specialize in residential and commercial air and water purification.

I be glad to give my website if anyone would like to look at doing some business together or check out what I market.

I grew up on a large grain farm. Still live there and help my dad and uncle as much as I can. I love the work, sure beats the heck out of an office job. I just don't want the worries.

Tom Dickerson

Telecom analyst at major appliance manufacturers call center.

I guess I had better weigh-in I am a full time farmer and rancher in southwestern Nebraska. My farm is dryland only and mother nature has certainly put the emphasis on "dry". This is as dry as I can remember in my 53 years. Many people don't understand that farming is a way of life, more than a job it is who you are. Very similar to bowhunting. So when mother nature bucks you off, you get up and try again. I really enjoy this site because it can be a great stress reliever(especialy the humorus ones). StateLine Rich (SLRich).

Science teacher. I teach earth and environmental science at the high school level.

Rich,

Best wishes! From what I know of Nebraska, dry land is TOUGH business. I have friends at Alma who do part dry land, part ditch irrigation. It's not an easy "row to hoe".
