Friday on the Farm

At dusk

working late one evening

I decided to work a little later one evening bringing in hay bales and cornstalk bales for the cow herds. It was a chilly, peaceful, beautiful night.

It was an exciting morning!

The Deutz loader tractor turned over 10,000 hours! The hours rolled over when feeding calves in the morning. Dad enjoyed the special moment.

My first memory was of my dad driving home the new tractor. I was 2 years old. I remember standing in the backseat of the car looking out the window watching my dad on the Deutz as my mom and I drove home to the farm on the sunny afternoon. A farm girl remembers important moments!

The tractor has worked many hours on the farm. The Deutz had several responsibilities over the years...feeding calves and cows, raking hay, baling hay, grinding feed, cleaning barns, loading manure, pushed snow. And, the tractor worked hard throughout the year. Even on frigid cold winter mornings, would start and go to work.

 

 

My First Tractor!

It's official. I bought a tractor...my first tractor! It is very exciting! Every farm kid cherishes the moments spent on the farm in the tractor. And, a farm kid dreams of this moment of buying their first tractor.

Proudly, I bought a Case IH JX 80. My grandpa would be smiling. I am very much looking forward to using it on our beef cattle farm!
