Sunsets in Colorado are spectacular. The farmland invokes the rhythms in life. There is a sense of continuity with the creative forces. There is a sense of trust, of knowing, of belief.

Sunset over the Rockies overlooking the rich agricultural area leading into the foothills. The sun has finally set on the death tax and Bob Sakata can rest a little better that he is now able to pass his business more easily onto his son.

Even though a day gets out-of-balance, farmers know the rhythms will reappear as assuredly as a cicada sounds and harmonizes with the universe. Roots give farmers their wisdom.

How can a job be made easier?

Farm wisdom: Always start a business that you love.
Bob says, "...as a child of eight or ten, I enjoyed reading tractor magazines."

More wisdom: Work is good.
"Every employee knows that I am the cheapest paid hourly worker."
