Diversity to Prosper

There's a story about a grasshopper who sang and
played all summer while an ant worked. The ant spent
the summer months laying in food for the winter. The
grasshopper didn't. He greeted with a sheer the advice
of the ant to store up food.
In the winter the ant was snug and we'll fed in the
home he had worked all summer to prepare. The cold
winds came and the snow covered the ground. The grass
hopper curled up and died from hunger and cold.
There are some farmers like the grasshopper and
there're some like the ant. Some farmers diversity their
crops, raise feed for their stock, food for their own table.
and livestock. These farmers are like the ant. Then
there's the farmer who raises little, if anything. besides
cotton. He has no cows in his pasture. He has no hogs
in his lot. He doesn't raise the feed for the horses that
plow his cotton. He doesn't have a garden and doesn't
raise food for his family. This farmer is like the grass
hopper.
