My husband David and I have a
herd of 40 Jersey dairy cows. With
our two sons, David, 13, and Mike,
9, we farm about 130 acres. Our
cows are all registered and we
really enjoy working with the
Jerseys. We grow hay, corn, and
oats.
We are hoping to start haying
next week but our first crop will be
small due to the lack of rain in our
area. We just finished planting a
big vegetable garden so hopefully,
for the sake of all the crops, that
will change.
