How many High School students can add “Professional Gate Opener” to their resume – this may not sound like a step in moving up the ladder, but it really is. I have been given the opportunity to learn to care for animals, grow feed, and be a part of feeding the world. Growing up as a Professional Gate Opener was an opportunity to learn in the tractor with my father and grandfather, we talked about livestock, birthing, feeding, current events, school, and best of all the history of our family farm . . .

"...My Grandpa Antone (known as Bill) was born December 23,1927 in the shack. Grandpa quoted 'I can’t remember who helped with my birth. It was cold outside when the water broke, I skated out'..."

Great perspective on your farm history coming from you directly! Really enjoyed it - we forget just how hard our forefathers worked to give us what we have today.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Professional gate opener is really quite the occupation. Yes Dan, I think this history is the relatable knowledge that everyone needs to know. We must pass it on from generation to generation to show how far we really have come!
