My dad was always a money, livestock and grain guy when he farmed, with the emphasis on livestock and most importantly, money. He used to tell me nobody made any money messing with machinery. I have always liked iron along with the grain and livestock, with the emphasis on iron. Now he's 82 and still comes to the farm for coffee every day, after the commodities market closes, of course, and we hash over the previous day's news, including at least one money-related topic.
