“That course talked a lot<br />
about opening the communication<br />
channels, and it really<br />
opened my eyes to what<br />
I was getting into,” Kunde<br />
said. “I would encourage<br />
anyone in my position to<br />
take that course.<br />
One thing he learned was<br />
the importance of him and<br />
Hosch being clear on their<br />
expectations of each other.<br />
“I guess you could say I<br />
learned there’s more than<br />
one way to tie a shoe,”<br />
Kunde said. “It was important<br />
for me to have him help<br />
me manage things day to<br />
day, but also think in terms<br />
of what his qualifications are<br />
and how can I best tap into<br />
his experience and make<br />
changes to utilize his training.<br />
We each have our own<br />
style, and we’ve learned to<br />
respect each other’s territory<br />
and knowledge.”<br />
As for Kunde’s daughters,<br />
“they are very in-step with<br />
what’s going on,” he said.<br />
“We’ve been very transparent<br />
with it.”<br />
They are all on board with<br />
keeping the farm, which<br />
was started in 1972, a going<br />
concern.<br />
“If my goal is to keep the<br />
wheels rolling, this was<br />
something I needed to do,”<br />
Kunde said, adding that he<br />
and his wife feel they got<br />
lucky with their find. “Wes<br />
has got the talent, and I’m<br />
glad to be using it.” n<br />
