On the professional side, those 18 years on the farm instilled my love for agriculture.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.

My first job out of college was six weeks of picking fruit alongside a dozen or so men from Mexico. The orchard was in Emmett, Idaho. The men spent almost nothing on themselves. Their paychecks went directly to their families back home.

As I mentioned, I was a carpenter for a time.

The greatest part of the job was... that was for nine years it was a pleasure to go to work.

Good production is like a beautiful marriage. It makes a happy home.

I'm so grateful for the marriages that I have had. I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't had those.
