When I was in the Air Force, I worked on a program that was run by a man who loved folks that grew up or worked on farms. He would actually ask people during the job interview if they had ever worked on a farm and that was sometimes the deciding factor between getting a job or not. Some people would ask why that was important for a technical job. He would always say, “Farmers have more ingenuity, creativity and ability than most”.
I didn’t grow up on a farm, but I did grow up near them and worked a few summers bailing hay in beautiful North Central Pennsylvania.
