I'M OFTEN ASKED, "WHAT'S THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS?" FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WOULD SAY MY ANSWER IS GOD'S BLESSINGS. I KNOW FROM WHERE MY BLESSINGS FLOW. GOD HAS BLESSED ME TIME AND TIME AGAIN WITH: GOOD HEALTH, FAVORABLE WEATHER, A LOVING AND PRAYERFUL FAMILY AND FRIENDS, ABILITY, DRIVE, AND THE DESIRE TO DO BEST I CAN AND NOT SETTLE FOR STATUS QUO. I ABSOLUTELY TRY TO DO MY PART AND TO ENSURE I'M NOT THE LIMITING FACTOR BUT NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT GOD. MAY HE HAVE ALL THE GLORY. THANKS AND RECOGNITION MUST ALSO BE GIVEN TO MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF INDUSTRY, UNIVERSITY AND EXTENSION PROFESSIONALS, AND TO FARMERS THAT HAVE BEEN WILLING TO SHARE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND RESOURCES. I AM WILLING TO SHARE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED WITH OTHERS. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE LISTENED PAST, PRESENT AND IN THE FUTURE. LET ME KNOW IF I CAN SPEAK FOR YOU AND WITH YOUR GROWERS. MY GOAL IS TO TEACH FARMERS HOW TO INCREASE THEIR CORN OR SOYBEAN YIELDS AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOWER THEIR COST PER BUSHEL AND INCREASE THEIR ROI AND PROFITABILITY.
