There was a time when it was fashionable and a status symbol for the wealthy to be “gentleman farmers.” This was especially true during the early 1900s when many wealthy individuals owned extensive farms and prize livestock of various species. There were hundreds and perhaps thousands of farms in Canada, Great Britain and the United States owned by rich and famous people commonly known as gentleman farmers. Many young men and women including the author worked on these farms as students, and obtained valuable experience that furthered their education and enhanced their careers.
