It seems that in America, if you are not a lawyer or doctor, that you have not made much of your life. I strongly disagree with that state of mind. Neither one of my parents went to college, and both have been extremely successful in our family business. What is it that we do? We farm, and we love it. I grew up on a peach and strawberry farm, and never really knew how much work it was until I got out of high school. I know first hand what it is like to live on the largest strawberry farm in the Carolina's. What I want to get across in this blog is how much work farming is, and how much effort it takes to make a living off of growing fruit. Farmer's put their money on the line every season, chancing severe weather that can destroy a crop in less than 10 minutes. I think farmers understand what it takes to pick up the pieces, and live "Just another day in paradise."
