I, John Sumwalt, believe in God! It’s the reality in which, as the Apostle Paul wrote, “I live and move and have my being.”. I learned that at my mother’s knee, and from my farmer father as he milked cows and plowed the fields. Dad always had a sense of awe and thankfulness for all the Creator had given us.

PORT WING, Wis. – Transition is on the mind of many farmers. And because many love the land there’s another thought.

Dear Michael: My husband died almost 10 years ago. At the time, he was adamant about our son getting a big break on the farmland so he could continue to farm. In the meantime, we also helped him get started with using our machinery, buildings and land to have him start building his own estate. Even after we retired, we gave him a great break on the rent and other things so he would be successful.
