Well I try to help those that need a boost. I remember when I was young, we had older farmers that loved to boast about how they started from the bottom, worked 17.5 jobs and never had any help. Some were kin, and some were not. But here are some things I have learned from 70 years of living:
1. We all don't get the same opportunities. 2. Some people work their tails off and never get ahead. 3. Just because your successful, doesn't mean you're favored. 4. Just because your not as successful, doesn't mean you're cursed. 5. Many "successful" people have a secret you don't know. 6. Some of these secrets include not paying bills, taxes, help, and swindling.
These are just a few things I have learned among others. If you want to help people do it. If not don't. It is simple really however, if it bothers you that you don't that may be a sign of something. When I was coming up. I encountered a bunch of people that claimed no help. My father-in-law was one. Later I discovered that he had almost endless help. Neighbors that were older would come by and get me and other neighbor boys to help farm. They would promise us a shot at renting their farm, help, etc. But when the end came most all ran to a BTO and for the most part those same BTOs own all those farms.
It is ok I guess. I miss the old homesteads, and the honest people, and some were very helpful. Some of my generation were given great opportunities. Most of these came from their family. In the end it doesn't matter. All we take with us is our experiences and the love given and received.
But I still believe that one should never discourage a young person. Just My opinion, I could be wrong.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
