Gene Millard - Unsatisfied Farmer

I revisit one of my favorite characters. Gene Millard has managed radio stations and served on boards of farmer owned ethanol and grain cooperatives but he loves farming above all else.

On October 15, Gene and his sons finished corn harvest in Northeast Missouri and he began to send out observations of the season and the harvest.  I caught him as he was physically recovering from days of hard work, for a man of any age, and a few moments to relax and relive the year.

Gene has a mind for numbers and a personality that strives to do things right every time.  As a farmer, you'd think that would frustrate him.  You are right!

A delightful conversation with a driven man.  A man who put forth his philosophy: He will never be satisfied.
