When they got into school they were all active in 4-H, FFA, shows, and heifer projects. And when they went away to college they came home on weekends to tend animals. “The problem was trying to find a way to increase cash flow so I could bring them into the business with me.” Danny and Doug finished their educations and returned to the farm at about the same time. Within a year, Jimmy completed high school and was ready to work full-time too. “We expanded our cow herd then, by renting or buying animals, and began to get into other enterprises. So we don’t have all our eggs in one basket.” How would Vanderwende advise other parents who want their children to go into farming with them] -Give the children sibilities at an early age. -Let them do their own thing (Doug, for example, isn’t dairy oriented. He’ll help out with the cows but his specialty is crops and machinery, so that’s what he concentrates on.) -Let them become financially responsible in some area. “They may make mistakes, but so did I when I was their age,” Van derwende says. -As a parent you must be willing to give in, to adopt new methods. -Keep lines of communication open. “This is one of the most important things, whether you’re dealing with family members or hired help,” Vanderwende says. “If you don’t, the situation will backfire.” •Don’t keep saying, "This is the way we used to do it.” -Don’t paint a rosy picture just because you want than to get into the business. In other words, it’s possible to involve one’s children in the farm business, Vanderwende says, but the arrangement can’t be taken for granted and requires tact, patience and trust.
