2018 Top Five

 I mean this with all sincerity when I say we love what we do, but the dairy farming  community is having a very difficult time these past few years; prices are low and costs are elevating. Many farmers are facing bankruptcy and their mental, emotional, and physical health is suffering. Farms of all sizes are closing their doors forever. 

Thank you for your desire to learn more about what we do and why we are so passionate about our farms and animals, and perhaps you can say a little prayer for us farmers too. Again, thank you!

At the end of each year I like to share with you what my top five most viewed blog posts are. 

Here we go... 2018 Top Five

5. I Am The Midwest Region Farm Mom Of The Year! I still can't believe I was selected as one of ten farm moms recognized across the United States for this award because there are so many deserving farm moms getting to do what we love every day.
