Lived on moosemeat cheeseburgers and moosemeat sausage for a whole winter as a kid in a year when we didn't have any money. We only shot what we needed or what we wanted to eat. Lived without electricity or running water as a kid on my grandpa's homestead. So I know the sacrifices and values of living on the farm. I love that land still. But I couldn't beat interest rates in the late 70's and early 80's.  Was in business but now I teach. And I make sure the kids out here learn about the great life on farms and ranches. I make sure they know where their food comes from. And they leave my classroom knowing we have to save our land for food, not develop it.

Thanks for your strong message folks and I will keep teaching it.
