It is amazing............absolutely amazing to see what people can accomplish over their lifetime, if they dedicate it to something. As I read about the Phelps family and their history I wondered about their patriarch. The senior Phelps went their with nothing more than an idea in his heart and changed the life of the area.

Many people have changed the life of others but I am talking about changing the life for the better. It is amazing to see how he built his base their and literally made an empire out of it. What's more is the fact that he did not just for the worldly wealth. His contributions that were carried by his son and daughter in law will remain their as a beacon of learning in their field for a long time to come.

PS: I have seen something similar in India as the Conuco agricultural practice from Latin America. It's amazing to see how different civilizations arrive at the same conclusions through different practices (if they are agricultural strategies)
