I know a Latino Gent that lives down the road from me. He came here (legally) from Bolivia about 20 years ago not speaking a word of English. He is trying to start a farming operation after buying a small acreage (60 acres) which won't produce much and he will probably go broke but he is working like hell to try and make it. He as a wife and a couple of kids and god are they dirt poor. Any way he finally got his third cutting of Alfalfa in and was trying to find some one to bail it for him. He has a side mower attached to his tractor but doesn't have a rake or a bailer. I offered to let him used my towed forage harvester so he could get his alfalfa off the field any wet weather came in. He was trying to use his pickup to move his alfalfa to a run down shed. I then offered to pelletize and bag it for him if he would pay for the bags.
The guy actually broke down and cried. I asked him what was wrong. He said that nobody back home in Bolivia would have done that for him. I said well this isn't Bolivia but America.
He said "I KNOW THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AN AMERICAN!"
