I've been told my work is old fashioned, in a good way. Now that all my kids are growing up and leaving, I'm replacing them with these little kids.

When I was growing up, kids wouldn't come out to my place because I was too far out in the country.

This is really great exposure to agriculture for most of these kids. There are not as many kids growing up on a farm as there used to be. Coming here gives them the opportunity to see the animals up close and learn how much agriculture affects their daily lives.

We're growing up, and we've got growing pains,

I think it's from moving around so much when I was growing up.

It reminds me of Miami when I was growing up in the 1950s. They've got grocery stores that make a 7-Eleven look like a Wal-Mart.
