I started out after college selling farm tractors and machinery for a few months. Then found a job as a farm foreman on a local vegetable farm that included moving equipment, checking field levels, supervising spraying crops and managing people. Then spent the next 50 years managing vegetable farms in Ventura County, California. That is on the coast about 50 miles north of Los Angeles,California and yes there are still farms in Southern California. Retired in January of 2018 enjoying it ever since.
