Summer on the farm brings a whirlwind of activity as we balance baling, spraying, fair preparation, and finding moments to connect as a family amid the busy season. The weight of sustaining our agricultural legacy weighs heavily as we navigate the challenges of modern farming and explore ways to diversify and strengthen our operation.
• Feeling the rush of summer farm activities while trying to make time for family connection
• Recent health scare triggering memories of past farm accident and trauma
• Exploring adding wheat to our crop rotation with plans to follow with soybeans
• Learning to manage soybean acres with the same intensity as corn to maximize returns
• Discussing the importance of agricultural community support rather than competition
• Supporting local farmers markets and small producers as part of building agricultural resilience
• Reimagining the future of family farming by fostering positive relationships and mindsets
