Summary

Using the words of Jesus, the vocation of farming, and quoting Canadian poet Brian Brett - Ronnie speaks about ”farming as a profession of hope.” He says: ”I want you to become a farmer. There is a life and life-giving life that you can take on as a craft, a profession, a hopeful vocation to grow a thriving, bountiful future. It’s not easy. There might be some long days. There is sweat involved. It’s not for those with soft hands or those short of patience. You’ll have to get some grit under your nails and in your boots. But it will be worth it. Hope - the future - is always worth it.”
