Commentary.
Sitting in the alleyway of our “big” barn sipping Coca-Colas while trying to cool down after long hours in the heat of the day, we caught up with a neighbor we hadn’t seen for a while. Politics, religion and farming are all acceptable topics when we get together. I almost always pick up a nugget to share in this column when we visit with this neighbor who has been farming with his wife for more than 50 years.
