I just sold a farm in Missouri, and I own a ski lodge in Colorado with some Honolulu partners.

I had accumulated some capital and was at an age at which I was interested in generating income. But even though I was risk averse, I was interested in growth stocks.

Back then I had to ski last on the course because it was my first ranked race. I should get a better starting spot this year.

I was 9 when I shot my first turkey on our farm in Missouri. It was my dad, brother, grandfather and me hunting together so we really couldn't move around quietly. We finally just sat down and my dad started calling.

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, Robert Lincoln bought a nice ski lodge.

Farm Bureau worked for eminent domain reform for the last three years in Missouri, and we are pleased such comprehensive legislation is being considered by the Missouri General Assembly. The general public wants these reforms implemented, and our organization is going to do everything we can to see that appropriate legislation is approved.
