I live on a farm. We rent the ground as I was raised on a farm and lived on one until I went into the service. That was long enough for me to learn I did not want anything to do with farming.

Well, that's pretty much my story, too, except I don't currently live on a farm. My brother raised corn and soybeans there until the mid 1990's, and then decided there was no opportunity locally to "get big" enough to really "make it" as a full-time farmer---so we sold the farm off (our parents died years ago). Doing farm work was one of the reasons I'm a chemist today.
