Mother's Day 2011
Cattle & Kids Rock! Welcome to my blog! My plan is to share some thoughts, stories, and pictures about family life and farming. As a forever farm kid – who can come pretty close to saying “yes” to the question “were you born in a barn” (I’m assuming I’m not from the only family who said that to their kids when they leave the door open when going back and forth outside) – I have a passion to share the great aspects of agriculture. My husband and I are part of a family farming and cattle feeding operation near Waco, Nebraska. We have been blessed with 3 children, and an important part of our parenting plan is to include them in the farming. There’s just something about farm kids and their work ethic – among many other things. I grew up on a dairy farm, was active in FFA & 4-H, graduated from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln (Go Huskers!) in agribusiness, and have had a variety of career experiences – ag finance, animal pharmaceutical sales, and banking. I always wanted to marry a farmer – and although I had to wait what seemed like forever – I found him! 🙂 I was picky! My husband, Chad, is a 4th generation (or more) farmer. He and his dad, uncle, and cousin are in a farming partnership. We grow corn, soybeans, and cattle. And kids. I love it. And I look forward to sharing about it with you!
