Pursuit
I have grown up on an almond ranch all my life.
I help my dad in the fields and evaluate income from the years
production.
Want to continue ranching the land and use my knowledge to make a better income
Spread my knowledge with others
Reflection
Retirement is easy when you have personal land
More free time working on your own land
As my passion it will be enjoyable
Negative side no jobs in the field
Don't have land for money after retirement
