(Crawford Co.) Maybe
you’ve heard the quote, “Be
hind every successful man is a
surprised woman.” Well, I
have my own quote: “ Behind
every successful man is a
strong woman.”
Since the beginning of time,
women have been nurturers,
caring for their families, often
at their own expense, and pro
viding the loving support that
one loved it. I live on a dairy
farm so dairy products are
often found in the food on our
table. I am 19 years old and
work parttime at a grocery
store. I love helping with the
milking when I get a chance.
Farming and Dairying is a lot
of fun.
