There aren't too many things in life more important than finding and doing something that you love. Whether you are passionate about teaching, learning, music, cooking or running a business doing something that brings you happiness is of the utmost importance.
Sometimes it can take years to discover what we are put on this planet it to do, and there are those of us that will never discover our true callings. Luke Conyac is someone who was put on this earth to farm. He may practice law as a second job but that's only so that he can keep up with his true passion, farming. He works side-by-side with his brother raising heritage hogs that he supplies to the people of Seattle.
Farming is important not only because it brings him closer to nature but because it's in his blood. He grew up on a farm in Kansas and after attending law school the desire to get back on the land never really left him. Too many generations of people pursue careers simply for the money. If you can find something that you love and make a living while doing it that's fantastic, but if you do something you love the money will come. Luke may work part time as a lawyer, but the satisfaction and gratification he undoubtedly feels after a hard day on the farm outweighs any amount of time he could spend in a courthouse.
Thanks for being such a hardworking farmer and being a part of our Young Farmer Video Series!
