Bob’s story is truly inspiring. His unwavering passion for agriculture and corn has accompanied him throughout his life, and even at the age of 95, he continues to cultivate this passion. His determination to continue his profession even in a retirement home shows to what extent certain passions can be deeply rooted in us.

Bob has a rich agricultural history, growing up on a farm where his family grew a variety of crops and raised livestock. He also developed innovative solutions to facilitate agricultural work, such as connecting tractors to increase traction force. Their lifestyle at the time was marked by self-sufficiency, with the production of their own food and resources.

Although his house has been sold, Bob continues to tend his farmland with the help of his stepson, Dave. The fact that he brought corn plants to the retirement home to share his passion with other residents and educate them shows his desire to pass on his knowledge and remain active in his passion.

Farming has evolved over the years, and Bob notices the growth in productivity per acre. His optimism about the future of agriculture is palpable, and he anticipates one more year of harvest to oversee.

The friendly competition between retirement home residents to guess the height of the corn plants is a great way to maintain enthusiasm around your passion and create a social bond within the retirement home community. This story is a testimony to perseverance, passion and love for the land, which never truly fades, even with age.
