Having been born and raised in Richland County, agriculture has had a lasting impression on me, and still does. As a child, my mom and grandma leased their land to wheat farmers, but it was beet farming that I really have memories of. My mom started driving beet truck in 1984 when she was pregnant with me. She worked for Tom, Montie, and Steve Lorenz for six years, and for Simards. I have distant memories of riding in those dusty trucks. Seat belts were always mandatory, but in those old trucks...
