"Growing up on the farm, it was hard not to resent the missed sleepovers, sports teams and free time that other kids my age were able to enjoy. Farming was hard work, and I couldn’t see myself turning it into a career.
I continued to work on the family farm throughout college. I saw how financially hard it was on my family and was determined not to take the same path. After I got my bachelor’s and master’s degrees, I went into public accounting and completely removed myself from the farm.
