I wrote about Dad and farming in the Gazette

Dad is going to stop raising cattle.

Bruce Morrison has been on this farm, around animals, all his life. In 1967 he was a member of the Tama County 4-H team that represented Iowa in the livestock judging competition at the International Livestock Exposition in Chicago. His degree from Iowa State University is in farm operations. …

Dad’s not going to stop growing crops, not yet. He’s still a farmer, after all. His father, grandfather, great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather were farmers. But I am not. It would be lying to say that doesn’t come with a sense of loss.

This is a subject very important to me, and I hope you will get something out of reading it.
