Thanksgiving is fast approaching and for most of us this means a belt loosening sized meal… that makes you want to take a nap and then go back for more. This Thanksgiving think of all of the different places that your meal came from. Possible Idaho for your potatoes… Southern states for the fruit salad and cranberries, turkey farms all over and on and on… Thank Heavens our farmers love what they do! Farming is not a get rich occupation. It requires long hours and it is not an easy job.
Clad in bib overalls , up with the sun and before and work all day. Every season of the year a farmer has work to do… planting, cultivating, harvesting and I bet if you ask most farmers what their least favorite part of owning a farm is that they will tell you, The paperwork and uncertainty of the harvest. Much work can be invested but until the harvest goes to market and is sold, a farmers only hope is prayer and for most that is enough.
