When David and Helen Osofsky founded their upstate New York dairy farm in 1941, they named it after their oldest son Ronny. No pressure there; if your mom and dad named the family farm after you, would you feel obliged to go into the family business?

Obligated or not, Ronny stayed on the farm while his brothers Sid and Rick pursued careers in investment banking and law, respectively. And when David and Helen decided it was time to hang up their milking pails, Ronny dutifully took over the dairy operation.
