Our rural community is a wonderful place to live and work. It is a small, farming area where neighbors know each other, listen to each other, respect each other, and work together to benefit the greater good. It is also a great place to start a business and test your “entrepreneurial spirit”. This community, and others like ours, provide the rest of the country with a wealth of services and commodities, and they are the economic engine that has helped the United States become the world economic power it is today.
