Experience details
I worked on a farm in my formative years as a teenager, beginning at age 13 to the age of 17. My father bought a farm when I was 25 and we made it into a functioning sufficient farm with a nursery dedicated to raising long leaf pines. We also planted stands of pine trees, raking, baling and selling the straw biannually. We provided maintenance to all necessary equipment and systems required to provide the highest yield. That included irrigation, weed and pest mitigation, farm machinery, etc.
