We own a 113-acre dairy farm
and milk 45 cows. Our 3 children
love the farm. Our son, Tyler, 4,
wants to be a farmer when he
grows up and Sara, 7, would like to
become a dairy princess.
I was from a non-farming family
and married and became a farm
wife. I was extremely surprised to
find out what all jobs and duties
take on the name of farmwife. It’s
not just housework, it was barn
work, field hand, tractor driver,
and whatever and wherever you
are needed.
My husband, Jon, wav from a
farm family and I must say very tol
erant of my ignorance of the farm.
He puts in long hours in the field
and barn yet finds time to share a
little with all of us. We enjoy farm
ing as a family.
