My Farm

This farm, which is my family heirloom, has been in all my memories for almost as far back as I can remember. Not only is it just my home, but it’s also something that’s helped me become who I am. Starting a family back around the late 1920’s, my great grandma Francis had 2 daughters, one being Diane, my grandma and dad’s mom. Francis shared the same liking for this farm like I did from the stories I hear about her, and in the little time that I got to know her when I was younger. It seems as though the more time I spend here the more I learn about the past and how it’s playing its part my future.

23 miles south of town, our farm started out around 1,800 acres, then grew up to 5,000 as my family progressed and became more attached to the land. Now with my dad Mike farming full time here, his dedication and pride he has for our land shows every harvest.  But, as the land gets older and time grows shorter, I hope to spend more of my time here and see what this farm will look like in 50 years whether its better or worse. I will probably always be attached to it and will always consider it my home, as will the rest of my family.

  1. Your blog is very informative.  I think its great that you are so attached to your farm and realize that your farm is what is shaping you for your future.

  2. I agree with Sara and it’s interesting how in a town of people wanting to get out of here and leave forever there is the one who will stay forever. :) Great blog :exclaim:

  4. It’s nice to see that someone around here still has an interest in farming.  You’re doing better than me.
