I am a city girl who had only
been on a farm a few times. Here is
my story:
I first met my fiance Nathan
Hawbaker in the fall of 1993 on a
bowling league, and we became
friends. We started dating in June
1996, and in September, we set a
wedding date for Nov. 1, 1997.
When I first started going to the
farm, I was only feeding the calves.
I had even named the calves. That
ended quickly, to make calves to
remember. I have since learned
how to milk, which was at first a
challenge, but has quickly become
one of my favorite pastimes. I
regret that 1 am only able to milk
on weekends.
I have started to decorate our
future home. In my kitchen the col
or scheme is black and white. I
have found wallpaper border that
yes, has cows on it. I have quite a
collection of cows in my home
mugs, salt and pepper shakers,
knick knacks, and even a statue (a
Christmas gift) of a cow that is
very life-like.
I have learned a great dealfrom
the farm and I love it. I wish that I
would have learned sooner.

fasts on weekends we are at a
cabin in the mountains. Although
we don’t live on a farm, we do
enjoy the benefits of living in the
country. Our "livestock" includes
a dog named Pete and three pygmy
kids named Taffy, Lucy, and
Frances.

My name is Jennifer Christman
and I am 14 years old. / live in
Greencastle with my mother Lin
da, my father LaKee, and my two
sisters, Venita and Heidi.
We live on a dairy farm and milk
around 45 cows. I help my dad
whenever I can and also help on
our neighbors farm.
School will soon be over and
then comes the busy summer.
Besides all the work that goes
along with living on a farm, I have
a 4-H calf to get ready for the fair.
I finished my third year of 4-H
Tractor Safety Club and earned my
tractor trophy. I feel that is a very
good club for every farm kid to go
through. I am also lookingforward
to another year of 4-H camp, the
third week in June.
