My husband, Derek, and son, Evan, spent the morning picking high moisture corn. It may be a holiday but there’s no rest for this farming duo.
Sometimes a photo says it all. My son is finally old enough to ride along with dad, and most Saturday mornings he can be found somewhere on our farm “helping” dad and learning about farm life. Today, it was a trip to the donut store then off to the field to pick high-moisture corn, which we are selling to an area feedlot. By lunch my son was hot, dirty and exhausted but even more in love with farming and dad’s buddy seat.
I am a city girl that is learning about life on the farm. I met and married a fourth-generation farmer, Derek. I am now a farmer's wife and country girl. The move has required a few changes and a lot of learning. But I wouldn't change my new life and all of the little lessons and surprises it provides.
