Few subscribers mention/comment about your dad. I have to say that I think he is a really good man. I can tell by his demeanor and the way he communicates with you, Jim and others that he is not just intelligent and thoughtful, but he is a kind man. There are lots of stressors involved in farming and I know he is always under stress (as are you). But he seems like a genuinely good person. You are fortunate to have him as your father and his influence on you is apparent. (as if I need tell you that - but it is apparent).
