Living and working on the land requires individuals who work symbiotically with the land. Being a rancher requires a level of tenacity to withstand the constant changes and unpredictability of the weather, and living conditions. It is not for wealth, but for the love of the lifestyle and the land.
I am referencing the phrase talking about the Farm Islanders: "For these self-reliant men, the ground is their horse to be saddled, ridden, worked."
