As the American farmer continues to age, is the younger generation interested in continuing the tradition? Are the older farmers willing to help the younger generation?
I grew up on a small farm in Northwest Ohio. I knew from the age of five that I wanted to farm. I’ve never been given a farm or a bunch of cash. But my parents have given me all the help in the world. As a result, I have learned the importance of work ethics from a young age.

Sixth-generation farmer Austin Heil created the Cursive Ohio charitable bike ride as a one-time thank you to people he met while finishing his first half IM Ohio. Ten years on, Heil draws riders to the Ada area for a beautiful, flat outing where they follow a route that spells O-h-I-o in cursive letters.
