This week is Ag Week and people all over the country, or at least the 3% of us who are farmers, use this week as a chance to talk about what we are up to on our farms, give you a taste of what it’s like to be a farmer, and spread the word about agriculture.
So I looked back at some old photos I thought I would share of what my life has been like not just as a farmer, but as a growing family farmer. Growing in the sense of the next generation, new equipment, good days, and new crops.
Harvest looked a lot like this last year…I’m guessing the “busy” level will be increased a bit this year!
We bought a new toy for our little farm boy….it has auto steer, so he’s already driving it!
This one still makes me feel good….good days all around!
And the newest crop to be added to our farm….Red cabbage for seed.
If you have any friends that are farmers, watch out this week for some good ag posts on Facebook. I know that Oregon Women for Ag will be posting many photos as the week goes on on their page. If you’re a farmer yourself, then take this chance to post a quick pic of what you’re doing this week. It may sound strange that someone wants to know what you’re up to on your farm, but truly I hear time and time again how much they love seeing our way of life, and what our “regular” day looks like (if there is such a thing in farming!).
