The onus is on “good”, Gail, as not all farmers are good.

So true! We should put such people on a pedastale rather than silly “celebs”.

This might be a short piece of art, but it is very touching. “craftsman of the highest order.” Aren’t we all craftsmen in our fields? I recently wrote a blog post on legacy as well, the power of where the legacy comes from is diverse, yet it comes from the same person, mind, and body. Yet we dig it out of ourselves in different places and find out motivation to leave a great legacy. It is amazing how the mind works and how our motivation to perform our crafts can bring that out of us. Thank you for sharing this positively thought-provoking piece.

Unfortunately, I see way too many people thinking others are “beneath them” simply because they commit themselves to a high work ethic. It saddens me.
