the bam they were interested.
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.
