“As a kid, many times a trip with my Dad included detours to stop and check up on one of his road construction jobs. He would chat with the crew, inspect the concrete, and literally kick the curb. I can still vividly see that sense of satisfaction and pride on his face. I am reminded of it when visiting fields and listening to growers explain the intricacies of their crop and what it takes to go from seed to harvested package. That same sense of pride lights up their faces as they share their passion and life’s work.”
