Farm Credit of Northwest Florida’s Post

Melton’s Plan Takes Shape

Reeves v Reeves - Part 4 of 8 (links to other parts in the comments). The brothers kept separate lives. Accordingly, when Russell gave evidence of statements Jim had made to him whilst working the Dingadee lots that (for example) “Keep going. What we are doing is worthwhile. This will all be yours one day", Kevin was not in a position to deny them. Russell's case, in Kevin's mind, was uncorroborated by independent witnesses and entirely self-interested. But back to the narrative. In time, Russell married. He and his wife Barbara had moved onto a property created by subdivision of one of the Dingadee lots, acquired from his parents with Russell's life savings. They had three children, Andrew, Stuart and Angela, who in time also helped around the farm. This meant each child could also give evidence of things Jim had said about how the properties they were working would one day be Russell's, such as “Russ, you, Stuart, Andrew and Angela have done a wonderful job here. It will be yours one day.” Jim died in 2005. At about the same time, the dairy industry was going through some upheaval. In order to cope, the decision was made to close the Kenilworth dairy and lease out the farm for a beef cattle operation. All Dingadee lots, plus a couple of the Kenilworth lots, were leased out. Russell and his children continued to work them to keep them in good condition for the tenant farmers. At this point, when Gloria talked to Russell about what he could expect to inherit, she began referring to “the leased lots" - meaning all Dingadee lots plus two Kenilworth lots. As before, when Russell said Gloria was making these representations, Kevin was not present and was in no position to deny they occurred. Gloria made her last will in October 2010. Crucially, she gifted to Russell: "the real estate in my property known as “Neilsons” … and more particularly described as Lot [XX] in DP [XXXXXX] and my property known as “Dinga Dee” more particularly described as Lot [X] in DP [XXXXXX] together with improvements thereon." Note "Dinga Dee" was spelt with two words rather than one. Both it and "Neilsons" were given a particular title reference. As well as those specific properties, Russell received 1/3 of residue only. The particular lots referred to in the gifts of "Dinga Dee" and "Neilsons" were not the entirety of what had either been known variously as "the Dingadee lots", or even "the leased lots" – it was the Dingadee lot (singular) only. Even more curiously, the "Neilsons" lot, being north of Stroud Hill Road, would ordinarily have been understood to be included in references to “the Dingadee lots” or “the leased lots". However it was separately identified as forming part of Russell's gift. Next - Part 5 of 8, what Russell asked the Court to do, and how he set about proving his case.

This excellent article by Robert Hagstrom resonates with me. Investing in and holding for the long-term a combination of high-quality dividend stocks and structural growth companies is the winning formula in the current (and arguably also any other) market environment. Highly recommended read!

Breaking down Diddy's recent scandal, which has brought to light the blurred lines of fame, money, and accountability.

Let's start a conversation about the responsibility that comes with success and how we can all strive to prioritize our values in both our personal and professional lives. #fame #morals #accountability #values

If I am being honest, I never had any desire to be a business owner, or entrepreneur. I didn't dream of being a cattle, or beef, baron. I definitely never dreamed of being in the lime light. I never dreamed of anything outside of being in the special operations. After that dream ended, I came up with the idea for KC Cattle as an alternative to being a cog in the corporate America wheel. I came close many times to closing shop, or selling, so I could get back to what I love. What's that, you ask? Being in a meaningful fight. Purpose. Surrounding myself with individuals who believe in the same and are willing to die for a belief bigger than themselves. It wasn't until this year that I realized I was already in that fight. The American dream is not live and well. The dream that my friends believed so much in they sacrificed their lives. The dream that so many have died to protect. These giants did not die for a country run by oligopolies who control the politicians that are supposed to be representing you and me. They did not die for a country so we can outsource our food production, along with most other production, to foreign countries. They died for the American Flag, and the founding documents that give her meaning. They died for the patriots on their left and right. The American flag and these documents do not belong to a political party. They belong to the people. I am not going to hit on election day. We are in a tough spot as Americans. I do not fault you no matter, which way you choose to vote today. You are still a Patriot in my book. Instead, I want to focus on how our team is trying to make a difference. Myself, and our incredibly talented and scrappy team, have been hard at work on Valor Provisions CO-OP. We are determined to create a new way to do business. One that puts morals, our customers, our vendors, above our profit margins. We aim to provide a marketplace where we curate American raised protein by warfighters brought to your front door at the best possible price. Our end goal is not to sell out to one of the competitors I despise, rather that we become big enough to hold them accountable. This is just the start... Stay tuned... www.valorprovisions.us
