Lessons From The Farm Jay Izso

"I have been bit, kicked, thrown, stepped on, crapped on, gored, stabbed, shocked, and have soaped up my arms to deliver a calf in freezing weather. Not much surprises me in life." - Jay IzsoWhile other kids may have worked out in the fields for a summer here and there, and then went back into town to bag groceries or work in the local hardware store, I spent all my formative years at work, growing up as a farmhand to farmers. It does not matter what age you are, what stage in life you are, what career you are in. These lessons apply. I wish everyone could have worked on the farm for at least one summer. It was life-changing. But since many of you did not, you can get a little taste of the experience, laugh a little, cry a little, but through it all learn the lessons, apply the lessons, and share them with others.
