1943 ag classic book “The Farming Ladder”:
“Never let any young man say there are no opportunities in farming. They are there all right, but mostly disguised as hard work. Opportunity, we are told, only knocks but once. Personally, on looking back, I realize she spends most of her time hammering on someone’s door, but they do not bother to get up and let her in, or complain the door is too heavy, jammed, or pinches their fingers!”
