The naysayers tried to discourage Robert Mills from even thinking about being a farmer.  But this Virginia native decided as a teenager that he wanted to own a piece of land and make his living in agriculture. So Robert joined the FFA, took agriculture courses in college and set his sights on creating a successful family farm that also had a focus on protecting the environment and improving water quality on the farm.  As for the naysayers? Robert will tell you, “My involvement in agriculture has given me and my family everything that we could have ever hoped for.”
