Six Inches and a Work Ethic
Paul Harvey once said, “Man – despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments – owes his existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.” While I’m not disputing his statement one bit (I mean it is one of my all time favorite quotes), I also tend to think there's another pretty important factor: work ethic.
This picture is actually of my great-great grandpa Charlie and was taken in the fall of 1957. At that time he, along with his son, Ray (my great grandpa), farmed 1800 acres along with keeping cattle. Just the two of them. With this equipment.
Coming from the age of autosteer and Roundup, I honestly have a hard time grasping just how much they had to do to keep their farm successful. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not afraid of hard work by any means, but the thought of doing all the work that that farm would entail kind of blows my mind. Even if I had wanted to I wouldn’t have been able to do it between the open cab equipment (asthma and dust don’t mix) and the intense manual labor (absolutely zero upper body strength), but I am so grateful that those that came before us had the work ethic to get the job done. They paved the way for amazing advances in the industry and set up a solid foundation for American agriculture today.
When we were looking through some of these old pictures, my grandma started talking about her years as a farmer’s daughter born in the 1930’s and a grain elevator owner’s wife running the scalehouse. She said 1956 was a year she’d never forget because not only was it the year she got married, but it was the year they raised 100 bu/A corn which was something no one in the area thought possible at the time. Sixty years later we’re raising more than double that per acre. I’m thankful that each generation before us has worked to make improvements in every aspect of the ag industry.
I could keep listing things off, but I think you probably get my point.
Six inches of topsoil and rain may lay the groundwork for us, but I’d say the incredible work ethic of past generations to keep improving and building something better for us today is the cornerstone.
