He wants a start in farming. So he bought the baler & built the racks. Rents the 4430 from his brother. Baling on 50/50 share with me (my hay) fair split you think?
He’s 19. Most his age are at the lake or sand dunes

At the intersection of our back road at the main road, sits a young guy in a new F-150. I asked if he was OK and he said he had a flat tire. Do you want help? No he replied a wrecker is on its way to change it

Dear Principal Mrs. Woormwood
Please excuse Lil D from class today as she traveled with me to purchase one of the last great dinosaurs that Fargo made. It will be a great fit for her soon when she is old enough to drive it.

I have an agreement with my neighbor, since my father died a decade ago, that if he should see me doing something stupid, he was to stop and yell at me, which he has several times. He just drove by and smiled and waved at me so hammer down

With the recent 8” rainfall and the dam breaking on a nearby impoundment, an old steam shovel was found abandoned at the bottom of the lake near the dam. back in 1925 when the dam was constructed, water filled the area faster than they could retreat

A couple of young guns that I rented 40 acres of my farm to this year. They are brothers both extremely hard-working and good mannered. Come from small family farm. Love seeing them work together and their enthusiasm

My favorite young dairy couple. They have hammered it out for 15 years starting from absolute scratch.
They made the decision to hang up the milkers for the last time. Staying on the farm but taking off farm jobs. Their choice, but I hurt for them

I don’t own the buildings, but I own the farmland around it. Another classic farmstead that raised 3 generations of the same family. Blessed to add acres to my farm but hurt by the silence of another small family farm

Like any good 4-H calf, immediately following this picture, he stomped on her foot and drug her sideways through the corn. She held on like a trooper But eventually lost the battle 1/2 mile run back up the lane we reconnected w/him:)

On the farm we’ve hired many a kid over the years.
Some stand out more than others, and some are outstanding!
The young man on the left is him on his 1st deployment.
