"ere are so many family farms here, it's such a tight-knit community. And seeing other folks put the same value on family is pretty cool. Family, that's the most important thing. e time it takes to get your kid to school. e baseball game. e soccer game. ose are non-negotiable." And in farming, where the days can be long and the work can be difficult, at the end of the day, Bruce enjoys coming home to what he loves most: his family. "Oentimes with farming there's a to-do list that's longer than any day out there. You're never done, never finished, which can be defeating at times. We've had times baling, cutting hay when it's past dark, 9:15, 9:30 at night and you're just getting off the tractor and you've been going since 4:30 in the morning and you get home and say, 'I've been working my butt off,' but that time, get- ting home, spending it at home with my daughter and my wife, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world."
