Hopefully everyone is getting the chance to spend some time with family this Labor Day. As for me, I will be meeting my dad for the granddaddy of machinery auctions bright and early tomorrow morning.
I did find this great video on YouTube that I thought I would share with you in honor of Labor Day. As you may know the first national Labor Day was in 1884 and was to be a day off for the workers of the country. Of course there is never a complete "day off" for the farmer, although there are slower times. The video below (I'm thankful for the family that put it together) shows some of the farm progress from 1938 - 1958. I hope you enjoy it...
The Journey of a Beginning Farmer :: As a child I spent most of my life in town living with my mom, but whenever I visited my Dad and his side of the family it was on the farm. From my earliest memories I have always wanted to be a farmer (except when I wanted to be a cowboy). Now, I am trying to fulfill that dream. This will be a journal of that journey :: my research, my joys, my frustrations, and all of the things that go along with the beginning farmer.
