The saying goes, "the first generation starts it, the second generation builds it, and the third generation loses it".

This phrase has always triggered me because we aren't talking about why the third generation is losing it. The result is decades of work being tossed out the window in a matter of a short period of time.

What could be possible if you began to look at your farm operation from the viewpoint that the next generation must be willing to earn their stripes in order to get access to what you've built.
