....It had to be someone who would plow deep and straight and not cut corners; Somebody to seed and weed, feed and breed,rake and disk and plow and plant; plow the snow and strain the milk
and replenish the self feeder and finish a hard day's work with a five mile drive to church.
Somebody who would bale a family together with the soft, strong bonds of sharing,who would laugh and then sigh, and then reply with smiling eyes when his son says he wants to spend his life doing what dad does!
So God Made a Farmer...
~Paul Harvey, 1978 FFA Convention
As the fall harvest gets into full swing, remember to give thanks to the many farming families who sacrifice sleep and family time to make sure the crops get in and our communities get fed. Share the road and be patient...they have loved ones waiting anxiously for them to get home safely as well.
