I am two generations removed.
My fraternal grandparents were crop farmers and latter, dairy farmers.

I attribute many of my values and ethics to my early exposure to that life style and the influence of my parents / grandparents. I am curious about the values, ethics, and lifestyles among hunters and outdoorsmen and wondering if there might be a correlation.



My grandfather had a farm. One of his sons ended up ranching some and then raising horses.

My wife and I have a small horse training and boarding place but it's far from a real farm. I do get to deal with many tons of manure, spraying weeds, fixing fences, managing runoff in the winter, and all of the fun stuff....just on a small scale.
