@gwiesefarms I want a balance of both… I’ve run equipment that was(is) so old it cost me, but also not been leveraged heavily.. not sure what the perfect answer is as I am still in the fight to get stable…

Generational patterns are often seen in agriculture.
Parents that aggressively pay down debt will see their kids doing the same thing.
Operations with constant new paint and high debt levels will have the pattern continue.
How do you want the next generation to farm? Do you want them to be financially stable? Are you setting a good example?

We want to give a big shout-out to the Sudan 2nd graders for coming out to visit our co-op and especially the gin!
We absolutely love watching their faces light up when they see just how big and grand the gin really is. They even had some great questions that gave all of us a good laugh.
A huge thank-you to Mrs. Edwards and Mrs. Carter for bringing your students out and spending the morning with us.
And another big shout-out to our Board President, one of our local farmers, our GM, and our gin manager for taking the time to help educate these 2nd graders about the incredible world of agriculture.
We’re always honored to share what we do and to help inspire the next generation!

I’ve been using gfa flumi with great results & cheaper than market. Great start up company(coop) trying to get chemical prices down for the farmer.

Long read, but worth it I promise. Honoring a Lifetime of Farming: The Gore Family
Some people spend their lives chasing success, others spend theirs growing it. For the Gore family, farming has been more than a job; it’s been a way of life passed down through generations.
The Gores’ story began long before Rusty and Randy ever took to the fields. Their grandpa started farming in 1929 with a Model T, a train ride with Jack and Joe (the work mules), and a dream. Rusty and Randy started farming in 1979 alongside their dad until he retired at 88 years old. Now it is their turn to put up their hats.
Raised to love the outdoors, Rusty and Randy have spent decades working side by side through every kind of weather. From fields of milo, sunflowers, wheat, and peas to cotton rows as far as the eye can see, they’ve seen it all. Over the years, the biggest changes they’ve witnessed have been in equipment, innovation and, of course, the cost of doing what they love.
When asked their favorite part of farming, Rusty said “freedom,” and Randy answered, “the calmness, most of the time” Together they’ve weathered snowstorms, pulled trucks out of the mud, and even proved the banker wrong when told they wouldn’t make it. Their journey stands as a testament to their perseverance and faith, a reminder that God’s plans are always greater. As Randy said, “God wanted us to make it, or we wouldn’t have.”
Through it all, they farmed together, saw their family daily, and built a life rooted in hard work, honesty, and mostly faith. Dad keeps a close eye on all the hard work. Every Sunday it’s church, dinner at the house, and a ride out to the fields to make sure Rusty and Randy are doing their jobs correctly.
Their advice for future farmers?
“Put God first and prepare for the hard years.”
As they step into retirement, Rusty describes farming as “tough,” and Randy called it “bittersweet.” They’ll miss the soil, the seasons, the sense of purpose, but look forward to a little less stress and a lot more family time. The thing they said they will miss the most about farming is “farming”, a simple but complex answer.
To the Gores: Thank you for your faith, your dedication, your smiles, your kind words, and the countless years you’ve poured into this land and this community. You’ve shown all of us what it truly means to be a farmer. To trust in God, work hard, and help your neighbors every step of the way.
Please leave a story in the comments of ways they have impacted your life or just a fun story we would all like to hear.
