M s of farming * he said
the five things a farmer
needs lo be sucrr.vsful today
The> are. in increasing order
of importance
mechanization, money,
management, motivation
and mother "
Mechanization cuts labor
costs and increases the
amount of work that can be
done by an individual I know
of a college sophomore - a
girl - who plows 320 acres a
da> with a four-wheel dnve
tractor
‘Il takes money to bu>
that kind of equipment II
takes management to keep a
highly capitalized farm
operation going, and it takes
an individual motivation to
want to do the job
“Most importantly,
though, it takes ‘mother’,
another way of saying farm
wife. Without the help and
encouragement of his wife, a
farmer will have a tough
time doing all the things that
need to be done to make an
operation successful.
“But if a husband-and-wife
farming team make up their
minds that they’re gomg to
do something, there’s
nothing in the world that can
stop them.
