[QUOTE="Guleesh, post: 7548199, member: 147187"] Everybody is different. My Father had laboured on various farms in his youth but then wasn't involved in agriculture. Later in life, when I was a boy he had a small flock of sheep on our few acres here. The sheep were gone some time in my teens, and then I started out with sheep on the folks place from age 18/19. Obviously I knew it all then the same as I do now :rolleyes: I never paid much attention to his protestations of how I viewed and treated the land, and he let me wreak havoc. Often now, 11 years after his death I keep remembering little snippets of what he had tried to tell me, regarding the importance of the health of the soil and of the place as a whole, about creating habitats for as many things as possible, and many other things that seem so obvious now... I really had to learn the hard way and am still figuring it out, but it's quite nice to think he would probably approve of the direction things are heading in these days. Teach the kids all you can, even if at first it appears to fall on stony ground, the seed will probably still be planted. Other than that, I think you have to let go. If you came round to a certain way of thinking yourself, then the apple will probably not fall far from the tree. [/QUOTE]
