Now that I have finished reading the Growing a Farmer book, I can again see how Kurt wrote this book with full of humor and his naivity about farming throughout the book. However, this is not all there is to the book. Kurt has also show in the book his perseverance even though he keeps on failing over and over again.
Kurt's perseverance bear him success towards the end. But, I don't think its all there is to him. I feel that Kurt also has a lot of luck in his side but the perseverance is definitely his key to success which I feel it should be applied to our own life. We might fail over and over again in something we do with our life, but if we keep on persevering and never giving up on it we will eventually get to where we wanted and achieve our goal.
Here are some quotes I find humorous in the book:
The deer debacle of the apple orchard quickly taught me my first lesson as a farmer: Nature is cruel. It is neither fair nor equitable.”
I would begin milking her that afternoon and the milk would begin to flow. As I look back now, I am grateful that I didn’t know what was to come, for fear of never starting out.”
“I have to admit that I learned this from experience; bad experience.”
“I knew that selling raw milk, or any milk for that matter, without a license was illegal. Oddly, I managed to put that fact out of my mind.”
“With matt’s help, I pushed this farm from a hobby to a business. A failing business, but a business nonetheless.”
