Dave, Let me expand on the 'trips' to Amity Farm. From a student from
Cornell--'Mr Conklin, you and Carol are the healthiest '50-'60 folks I've
ever seen'! Then we move on--all get to see and understand our farm
strategy, our genetic success(3 bulls in AI), but then, get to look at the
yearly financial computer print-outs of our financial trip over the past 30
years. The faculty advisor of one group assured me--'You and Carol are
definitely going to heaven!' Wonderful, intelligent kids, Dave. How do we
get them to FARM?
