Why We Do It

Posted bygingerlinecreativePosted inagriculture, farmTags:, , , , , ,

Why we do it.

It’s not because the 2% provides for the 98%.

It’s not because we make 8 cents on the dollar.

It’s not because land/equipment prices are astronomical, market prices are volatile, and Mother Nature calls the shots.

It’s not because of midnight calving in 20-below or missed ballgames ’cause the storm’s coming and the seed doesn’t plant itself.

Not because droughts & floods & never enough time.

It’s because FAMILY + legacy + honor + pride.

We do it for Jax.

So he can be steerin’ and stylin’ and learn how to drive tractor like cousin Zach.

(Peep the boots over the sweats).

Happy #nationalagweek

I love the sun. I also love dirt. And being barefoot. I’m a millennial-farmer, yogi, oreo-addict, recovering people-pleaser, self-appointed social scientist, eclectic mix of 90’s R&B meets 90’s country. I started this blog as a way to showcase my love for agriculture, psychology, & education.  By sharing stories of life on the farm, navigating adulthood as a millennial, and the many nuances we share under the human condition, my hope for you is that you, too, discover your own voice. That you find space here to lean in to a creative life: authentically, vulnerably, you.  Join me as we talk truth, tractors, & true love!
