My daughter is on the right and washing her calf for the show today
I jokingly asked her friend, who is also showing a calf, why she was helping *the competition
Her reply was "I want to because she is my best friend"
Imagine if politicians acted like 4th graders

Define wealthy?
11 years ago I moved my family 800 miles back home to Iowa, in part to raise our kids as the 5th generation on the farm and also so my parents would know and could help raise their grandkids.
These pics are 10 years to the day, in the same field.
Don't blink!
Our dream home is almost complete with the flooring now done. Last up is the kitchen. #protip don't build a house, move in and take five years to finish unless you have a heck of a patient wife. #Imarriedup
New tradition at the farm
Each kid gets to pick one day to play hooky from school and help with planting or harvest
Today is his day as graincartboy
10 years from now he likely wouldn't remember what he learned in class but I guarantee he will remember this day of #harvest21
For our farm
It isn't about the climate
It isn't about a carbon credit
It isn't about no-till
It is about feeding the soil
It is about water infiltration
It is about weed suppression
It is about recycling nutrients
And most importantly
It is about striving for zero soil loss
