My husband and I crop farms with his father, uncle and brothers, and they grow corn and soybeans. My father and uncle own the dairy farm that I grew up on in McLeod County where they raise all their own calves and grow corn, soybeans, alfalfa and wheat. I am a stay at home mom to our 5 young boys and I help during spring and fall fieldwork and milk when needed at my family’s dairy farm. I am also a substitute in the Fairmont School District for ECFE and Preschool.
Yes, we farm with my father-in-law, two brother-in-laws and my husband's uncle in Fairmont, MN. I am active on the dairy farm with my father, uncle and brother.
Reading, Family Time, Volunteering
It's too easy for people to "ask Google" about farming and not know how to wade through all the misinformation and get to the real story. I love having the opportunity to tell my story of growing up on a farm, going to college for an agriculture-related degree, and being involved in agriculture on both sides of my family. I want other people in the community to think of me and my family when they have a question about farming and, most importantly, feel comfortable enough to reach out with their questions and concerns knowing they will get a genuine answer.
Growing up in agriculture and, now that I've been a farmers' wife for more than ten years, I have a much greater appreciation for my mom and mother-in-law. There are a lot of hats to wear when there are young children involved for any parent, especially on the farm!
