What I learned there was the value of hard work and that folks in agriculture were there for one another.

The Great Depression hit farmers and family farms hard and my family’s farm was no exception.

Suddenly, my family’s farm didn’t belong to our family any more.

I grew up in Robeson County on my family's farm. I have spent most of my time growing up working cattle, harvesting crops, and running my family's roadside produce stand. I really enjoy riding my horse through the cow pastures at home, checking on the cows.
