cuts deeply into the family’s
income.
Decisionswillsoon have tobe
made as to the farm’s future
direction, though. Neil says he
expects they will be cutting back on
the feedlot operation, since more
mechanization, which would en
able Nancy to do more, is far too
expensive to consider at this time.
They do, however, plan to keep the
cashcroppart of the farm, since
Neil can do much of the driving.
Last fall, he even was able to get the
combine ready by sitting in the
shed and telling his hired man,
step by step, just what to do.
But change is inevitable, and the
family is very realistic about Neil’s
disability. “Why try to do some
thing T m not equipped to do, when
I could be just as good as somebody
else at something I can do?’’ he
asks. “It would be idiotic to have
several people around just to help
me do something I shouldn’t be
doing in the first place.’’
A former secondary school
teacher in Kitchener, and at F.E.
Madill Secondary School from 1967
to 1970, when he left to fulfill a
lifelong dream to take up farming,
Neil knows, again, he is more
fortunate than many other farmers
disabled by farm accidents.
“I’m thankful that I’ve had the
education I’ve had-it gives me a lot
to fall back on. I may look for work
somewhere down the line - some
thing in agriculture would be good;
I’d like that,’’ he says.
