Have you ever noticed America’s work ethic is dwindling at a record pace?

Our friend, a first generation, self-made millionaire, has a lot to say about this. He contributes it to the fact that people don’t understand the law of the harvest. Every generation that isn’t raised on a farm, is one more generation that doesn’t understand…if you don’t get up out of bed and care for crops and animals even in the worst conditions, you will become extinct.

America was built on the bounty of lots and lots of ants. Now we have lots of money sucking leeches. The old parable The Ant and The Grasshopper called these lazy folks grasshoppers. What most lazy grasshoppers forget is…ants feed them. Someday the smarty pants, capitalistic ants will tire of feeding the socialist grasshoppers and the gravy train will dry up. (Just ask those folks in Europe.)

Here in my wheat field we quote my Dad and say “We gotta make hay while the sun shines.”

What that means is. If you don’t work, you don’t eat. Period. A noble concept isn’t it? In fact it’s stupid simple. I like simple.

The American farmer or any other entrepreneurial spirited person understands this. If the forecast says rain for the next five days and you have hay on the ground, it’s going to be ruined if you don’t bale it. If you don’t bale it, in January when the snow flies, your livestock (cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, goats) or whatever will starve. Starving animals mean starving families, and money and futures down the drain.

I encourage you to teach your children the law of the harvest and how grasshoppers are pride-less cowards that don’t thrive. There’s a storm brewing. The rain clouds are building. We all need to make hay while the sun shines.

Simply,

Sis
