One other privilege of having the experience of being involved in agriculture and having this role is that I've been asked to mentor young farmers and other people and to share some of the experiences, including what we lived through and how we dealt with 20% interest on our farms.
I think I shared with you before, Bev, about the first farmland I bought. By the time I'd finally paid it off, I'd paid for it for four times over. To live through that kind of stress, number one, you need a strong marriage. Your wife has to slap you upside the head, not physically but just to get your attention, and say, “Put this in perspective. You still have your health. You still have your family. We'll get through this.”
I think we have a lot to pass on to some of these people. This too shall pass, so be strong and stay with it. I think there's a huge opportunity for mentors.
