WITH ADRIAN VOS
My city friend Harry asked me recently why I would like
my son to be a farmer. "You people are always complaining
that farming is a poor way of investing your money. You
work lone and hard, Thousands of you are leaving the farm
scene each year and yet you want your boy to get into this
'. poor business."
"Well Harry, it's this way", I answered, "I know both
sides of the story. I had city jobs for the biggest part of my
life and made some good money too, but when I visited my
farm friends I always was impressed with the way they lived.
Compared with the life in the factory, which was boring and
uninteresting and where there was no loyalty to the firms we
worked for, farming is alive and always a challenge. In most
factories we didn't often know what the parts we were
producing were used for. There was very little pride in our
product and more often than not we downgraded our own
work. The foreman was always hovering in the background
and when anyone suggested a better way to do something, he
appeared to be afraid to adapt it, for the general foreman
might think that he should have done the improvement
before this."
"The farmer on the other hand always tries to improve on
his crops or his livestock. He is proud when his fields are
free of weeds or when his livestock gets a high grade when
processed. He tries to get as many pqunds of meat for as low
an amount of feed as is possible and when he succeeds, he
not only gets a better income but has a sense of achievement
he can get seldom anywhere else. On top of this I don't
believe 'that farming will always be a poor investment. With
the new awareness among farmers that together they are
stronger, and getting better and better organized, the finan-
cial returns are bound to get better.°
"As you can see Harry, when I encourage my boy to learn
farming, I do so in the firm belief that a good future lies
ahead for him. Of course, as in any other profession, to keep
abreast of new developments is the key to a successful farm
enterprise and this entails continuous study. But the
rewarriap are 14ti,,,,especiallyjn satisfaction."
" Harry tinitiere'd 'rsOrnething ,about his city job not being all
that bad 'and we left it at that.
