A lot of people outside the farming/ranching community don't realize it takes the same kinda mind t0 manage a large farm as it does to manage a large business and keep it sucessful through challenging times. It just depends on what kind of "office" someone is happy in. Years ago, when my brother (a farm boy) was graduating from college with a degree in chemical engineering, he was approached by a large textile company to come to work  in management.  The company flew my brother and mother out to tour the facility and hear the sales pitch. My mother asked "why do you want my son?" Their response was very telling. Along with the fact that he was on top in his class, they wanted him BECAUSE he was a farm kid. As a company, they had realized that farm kids are not only responsible and hard workers, but also problem solvers who look at the whole picture to fix something, often with what is at hand versus throwing something away for new. Farm kids understand the value of a dollar and to take the profits from one year to help grow profits for the next. They understand mechanical things and how to make processes flow more smoothly.

My brother did excel in management and problem solving. He became an international trouble shooter for Hanes, and now does the same job for Fruit of the Loom. His job has took him to many countries and has paid him well. Part of his "benefits" of the job is the agreement that in the spring and the fall he gets large chunks of time off to plant and harvest as the weather allows. Because this internatinal businessman is still a farm boy at heart- and he comes "home" to nurish his roots.

President Trump held a rally in CA last night.  In farm country.  I listened to it on Youtube.  I had tears in my eyes for how much he cares about us and how lucky we are to have him.  Ordinary people trying to meet the challenges we face every day due in large part to the liberal/leftist policies that target what makes America different from any other country.  He's a problem solver.  They desperately need more water and a consistent supply. He's smoothing and clearing a path to being able to use the water that is there already, while not ignoring the environmental issues.  The next big project he's got planned is upgrading our infrastructure.  There have been no new and minimal maintenance on existing dams, etc for decades. He's keeping his promises.  It's really sad that is such an anomoly.  

While Oregon's liberal douchbag is talking about ripping out dams that provide electricity and irrigation water for the farmers. They have no solutions to any problems that don't take us back to the early 1900's before the major improvements in our society. 

In contrast Bloomberg and the rest of the commies talk down to large groups of people.  Telling us we are nothing. Useless eaters. They don't respect us.  They are telling us they are going to take away what we hold dear. Our way of life guaranteed by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. They show us every day how they hate us. Why don't people believe them?

 I was astounded at how it seemed every person on the stage last night wants to "stop" and "shut down" the oil and gas business altogether.

Also, I was shocked that one person accused the other of "voting for English as the official language of the US", using it as an insult. WHY WOULDNT ENGLISH BE OUR OFFICIAL LANGUAGE?? We are a predominantly English speaking country.

I am all ears about hearing both sides of a debate/argument on any topic...but these people blew my mind a little bit.

I obviously don't know your brother, but this makes me so proud and happy

I will give you fair warning if the dems get elected shutting down oil and gas will happen.  The idiotic Liberal government in Canada has spent 4 years doing just that. Agriculture is next on their list because we use the oil and gas to run our tractors. Canada is being destroyed before our eyes by our socialist government, voted in by big city Toronto and the east. I pray daily Canada finds a Trump to fix the mess we are in.

Which all fits in with the meme featuring Donald Trump that reads:  It's not me they're after, it's YOU.   Now the Russia meddling fairy tales start all over again.  All you have to do is yell "squirrel" and the Dems are all over it like a duck on a Junebug.
