Occupation: Farmer but Should Be Gambler
Iowa farmer Max Bailey is tall and reserved yet labeled a gambler by risk. He runs 173 acres near Ames, grows feed crops, keeps 300 cattle and 500 hogs, with a 5,000 dollar net result after drought relief and crop insurance. He works 10 to 12 hours daily for about a dollar an hour, faces volatile prices, and relies on federal aid to blunt losses.
