America's heritage and character was forged on storied ranches and farmhouses that dot the plains and foothills of our magnificent country. Everyday, the ranching and farming families ... nature's caretakers ... vest strength and energy caring for creation while in turn harvesting its bountiful rewards.As I thought of memorializing the impact of the family farms and ranches across our country, I imagined a grandfather starting his old reliable tractor early in the morning surrounded by a cohort of animals oblivious to his chores and duties. And what a great adventure for any youngster anxious to explore and leave a mark on granddad's farm ... the tractor, the barn, the animals, trees and pond ... could there be a better heritage afforded by summer ... could there be a better forge for character ... not likely!
