My father left me our family ranch.
I was the only kid so it wasn’t a surprise by any means.
Actually, my father in addition to I worked the ranch for the last chapter of his life. I just wonder what he would know now that I have repurposed much of the ranch for marijuana growth. He’s either happy or he’s rolling over in fear. But, without this change toward cannabis cultivation, there would be no more family ranch most likely. I really didn’t go straight into farming. My interest lies with business and I got an MBA before going to work in finance. I did that for a while and it was interesting but not easily the sort of thing I wanted to do forever either. So when dad reached out to me about the future of the ranch, I moved home. Long before I decided to go with a commercial grow operation here on the ranch, I had to change the industry stream once before. Dad was basically barely breaking even with commercial farming. So all of us pivoted the company to deliver top quality items in addition to meat to specialized food stores in addition to diners. So much of the same thing is happening now. It’s just that I’m installing temperature controlled areas in the main ranch along with high performance lighting. Our large scale grow rooms should yield very well and help us get a leg up in the cannabis cultivation market locally. I’m actually happy about the future in addition to I’m completely committed to pot farming as the future of this particular family farm. I assume marijuana growing is the only way I’ll be able to keep the family ranch to the next generation.
