The past two days I have been in Bassett, NE, at the Nebraska Ranch Expo, and it was there that I had the fortunate opportunity to meet Brock Moreland. Brock is 18 years old and his parents, Steve and Carol, ranch near Merriman, NE. Brock just graduated from high school. He plans to attend college and return home to run the ranch. Did you know the average age of the American farmer is two years older than the average aged person in a St. Petersburg retirement community? So many of the young people growing up on farms or ranches wonder if the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence.

The problem is they leave and after a few years discover that the lifestyle in a place with paved roads and sewers systems isn't what they had hoped for. The problem then becomes "the fence" holds them in instead of allowing them to follow their true passion and go home. Brock Moreland joined me on Loos Tales this week discussing that very issue.
