What business does Dubya operate in Crawford?

I have yet to see any references in the news about him raising and selling cattle, sheep, hogs, etc., or growing crops like corn, soybeans, cotton, etc. AND SELLING THEM. If he doesn't sell anything, THAN IT'S NOT A BUSINESS. He calls it a ranch, but it's still just his private residence.

Dubya "working the land" as you put it, is nothing more than a useless photo op of him clearing underbrush to make him look like a "regular guy".

Just like Reagen chopping wood on his "ranch". Never read about him selling crops or animals raised there either.

But to you, all ranches == a business. I disagree with that completely.

And to answer your question, no I didn't grow up rural - just on the border of suburban and rural.

He is in the grazing lease business

Well watered by Rainey Creek and the Middle Bosque River, much of the ranch features the gently rolling terrain that makes this section of Central Texas ideal for farming wheat, maize, and corn. One of the Bushes' first decisions as owners was to continue to run cattle on their ranch; the grass lease was awarded to none other than Kenneth Engelbrecht, Bennie and Earlene's son.

if it is a standard lease he has to maintain fences, watering holes and underbrush. It is a business. Not much of one but neither is my consulting outfit right now.
thanx,
