The expression “hindsight is 20/20” is attributed to American humorist Richard Armour from an article in The Van Nuys News.  The California newspaper was published on February 17, 1949.  The term refers to the Snellen vision chart testing for visual acuity.  The term is used to express a clearer vision of events after they have occurred.

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.
