Down on the farm
I shot some stuff with a farmer/rancher Lyle Blakely yesterday. My favorite part was riding around in the farm truck, checking the cattle and the wheat. He taught me how to tell when a calf isn’t feeling well, and how to tell what damaged the wheat. I asked him about not having control of what makes or breaks a farm, the weather. He chuckled and said that farmers ‘are always at the mercy of mother nature.’ Kind of a canned answer, but really …
That’s trust.
