We're not rich people but farming has been a good living for us and for raising our children.

If you ever come through Kansas stop by and ride in the tractor or see what's going on. If you're not used to being around this kind of work it's really interesting.
Oh that's cool! I thought you meant field work as in internship. That's what we call at in my department at school, field study. hehe. But farm work has always been intriguing to me. I've only been on a farm a few times in my life. My cousin's wife's family (if that's not confusing, lol!) runs a tobacco farm and I used to hang out there when I was little.

I don't think I'll be around Kansas anytime soon, but if I am, I'll be sure to let you know! I'd love to meet some 4wt'ers!
