In Loving Memory of Curtis G. Meffert
"The Farmer's Creed" by Frank Mann
"I believe a man's greatest possession is his dignity and that no calling bestows this more abundantly than farming.
I believe hard work and honest sweat are the building blocks of a person's character.
I believe that farming, despite its hardships and disappointments, is the most honest and honorable way a man can spend his days on earth.
I believe my children are learning values that will last a lifetime and can be earned no other way.
I believe farming provides education for life and that no other occupation teaches so much about birth, growth, and maturity in such a variety of ways.
I believe many of the best things in life are indeed free: the splendor of a sunrise, the rapture of wide open spaces, and the exhilirating sight of your land greening each spring.
I believe true happiness comes in watching your crops ripen in the field, your children grow tall in the sun, and your whole family feel the pride that springs from their shared experience.
I believe that by my toil I am giving more to the world than I am taking from it, an honor that does not come to all men.
I believe my life will be measured ultimately by what what I have done for my fellow man, and by this standard I fear no judgment.
I believe when a man grows old and sums up his days, he should be able to stand tall and feel pride in the life he's lived.
I believe in farming because it makes all this possible."
Farewell to Curt - raised and schooled as a farmer; educated as an engineer; a world traveler and student of history; and a devoted husband and father and who eventually returned home with Liz, his wife and partner of 64 years, to his roots in Wisconsin ... where he restored the family farmhouse with his own hands, returned to the joys of working the earth, and watched his daughters share in that passion. His intelligence, work ethic, generosity, and gentle humor touched all who were lucky enough to know him. Liz, you are loved and always in our hearts.
Paul, Michael, and Connie
