Rey Longhurst's Divine Stewardship
This project belongs to God! I am merely the steward over it's development and operations.
I Came Here To Serve - Not To Be Served
My training for this calling began during my High School years in Pocatello, Idaho in the 1960s. All of my business experiences, military service as an Air Navy Veteran and schooling over my lifetime have contributed to the NOW - giving me the confidence and background needed to carry out this God-Given Vision. It all started with my Mom and Dad. Day and Night. 24/7. Milking the herd morning and evening. Cleaning the loafing shed by hand with a pitchfork, scattering straw for bedding, shoveling grain, hauling hay, feeding the animals, keeping breeding records, assisting the vet and breeding technician. Delivering calves in the middle of the night. Feeding and watering the chickens. Plowing, planting, cultivating, irrigating and harvesting home grown produce for family use and bartering for medical, dental and general living expenses for mom, dad, myself and 9 siblings.
