Having grown up on a family farm, I am all too familiar with the effects a drought can have on a crop.

Growing up on a family farm, I know firsthand the challenges of running a small business... challenges that only seem to be growing for today's entrepreneurs.

Well, I was born in El Paso, Texas, it was in the nearest hospital to the family farm.

In the fall term of 1933-34 I was on my family farm in Maine.

The family farm is the foundation for who we are as a Commonwealth. And for over a century, the family farm in Kentucky has centered around one crop: tobacco.

I have spent my life reassembling the family farm.
