The Theories of Spontaneous Generation

Genesis 1: 3 “And God said, let there be light and there was light” It appears that in our world and in this time, humans have been left with the distinct impression that they can match wits with God. To believe someone is smarter than their Creator is foolish at best and dangerous at worst.

Keeping the Farm Together

What should happen with our farm when we’re gone? We hear so much about small farms going under or selling out. We don’t want that. Our son says he’ll stay and keep working. Our daughter has moved away. How can we treat both children fairly? ____________________ Careful planning provides a variety of options to suit your situation. We can help you choose, and we can draft the legal documents to set up the best result for everybody. You will want to treat both your children even-handedly. That doesn’t necessarily mean equally, because your son has contributed to the farm’s value with his labor and talent. You could leave the farm to him, and leave your daughter your personal property and your bank, insurance, and retirement accounts. We will help you transfer the farm in a way that fits. Exactly how depends on your situation. If your wife’s and your health is good, you could put the farm into an LLC and a trust.

Around Our Town

Hello to all of you Marshall Mountain Wave readers and greetings from the jewel of the Ozarks, Leslie, Arkansas. Wow what a turnaround the weather has been. It was very cold last week with single digit temperatures and this week has been just lovely, with warm sunny days and temperatures in the upper 70’s. So Spring is springing a little bit but actual astronomical Spring is not until March 20th this year. So there is still plenty of time for more Winter weather.
