Today I took our son to the hay field and taught him to run the self propelled haybine. It is so cool to see your son become a hard working young man. I have always tried to really instill a good work ethic, not just hard work, but high quality work. He is such a runt for his age, which makes it even more remarkable to see him out there working like a man. As always, I am just busting with pride! Glenn takes every job so serious. He knows that if he has any trouble, he is to stop and just call for help-his safety is the number one priority.
Today was also made special by the fact that my father-in-law is willing to let me bail all the hay we can. Oh, he would have had it mowed sooner, but it would also have been chopped into wet haylage. This is going to be bailed for dry hay for my new "grass fed" operation. They have even decided to run the Harvestore (big blue silo) empty, moving away from feeding grain. That is a huge victory for me and my share holders. Having share holders has been the deal breaker for me. Thank you for being a part of our farm! I am so appreciative of the folks who are willing to go that extra mile (in some cases several) to get great quality food over convenient and cheap. I am also grateful that so many people are willing to work with me as I strive to make a good farm great. It is a long slow process, but with your support I will get us there.
