Great Story of a family working together to save the family farm
Published by Dale , 6 months ago
Forrest does a wonderful work with "Gaining Ground". He has a way of putting you in the picture. His writing is informative, descriptive and enlightening. I enjoyed hearing how the family came together to build a business and a legacy. He lets you know that anything is possible with the right planning and work ethic, and an agreement to never give up.

Forrest's story is a self exploration of his character, his love and care for his family and the family farm and a realization of his life calling. A great read full of laughs, inspiration and good 'ol wisdom.
