I’m 72 and cannot imagine what a day would be like without being able to go to work on the farm ….. planting, tending or harvesting.

Dig a hole in the ground and put $500K in it, cover it up, and pray for rain and good weather. Doesn’t always work out. But, I’m so thankful for every day that I am able to work and be productive that the good just far outweighs the bad.
I love my time in the field with my Parkers and Foxes and L C Smiths, but they have to take a backseat to breaking land, planting, cultivating and harvesting. God help me, I guess it’s just too imbedded in the blood.
