How things change with each passing generation.

Thanks for your comment Sandra, that’s so true.

Dear Francine,
Farming isn’t what it used to be, is it? Will there be a farm left to her when Dad is finished with it? Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Thanks for your comment Rochelle. There may well not be a farm to inherit as you say.

A great and timely tale. I think many farmers are faced with this decision these days. Going for profit already fails, going with nature and not against it is the only way. I love the way you described her granddad.

Thanks for your reflections Gabi. Tough but necessary choices facing us I guess.

I like this thoughtful piece. We all face the dilemma of whether we make as much money as we can, or whether we are mainly guided by ethical considerations. And, of course, the ethical considerations are never clear-cut…

Thanks for your reflections on the dilemma, I think you’re right about ethical decisions being multi layered. I hope we can move towards a consensus.

The way that doesn’t harm the planet is best…

Thanks for your comment Jade, much appreciated.

You’re most welcome, Francine.

when in doubt, she should follow her heart.

I appreciate your comment, thanks.

Tradition or modern methods with higher profits – maybe there’s a middle ground…?
September 13, 2021 at 10:36 am
Thanks for your comment Ali, I’m sure there is a compromise.

My dad was like his dad in faith and appreciation of the soil and what it would do when one sows the seed and the rains come. Solid characters of few words.

Thanks for your comment Oneta.

Very good internal deliberation. I agree with Neil, she’s leaning toward grandad. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have observed the differences – and she has children!

Thanks for your reflection Trish.
September 9, 2021 at 3:34 pm
I’m pretty sure I know! Delightful.
September 9, 2021 at 2:56 pm
An interesting dilemma. My guess is she’ll side with the granddad
September 13, 2021 at 10:48 am
I appreciate your comment Neil. I think you are right.
