Love this pink tractor! |
Yesterday, Brad and I headed south to the Louisville Farm Show. This is a huge agricultural show held every year and people come from all over the place to attend. There are seminars and exhibits which help farmers and others who work in the ag industry learn about the latest and greatest.
We are planning to upgrade our our grain drying system this summer, so Brad thought this would be a great opportunity to pick the brains of the grain drying experts. Our goal of course is to harvest our corn quickly once it is mature and before it is damaged in the field. We also want to use the least amount of drying fuel as possible. Not only does that help conserve valuable resources, it also saves us a boatload of money. Win-Win!
I was very impressed with the number of farm FAMILIES who attended together. This 3 generation group came all the way from Wisconsin to attend. They were celebrating Grandpa’s birthday.
Daddy’s and their kids holding hands were everywhere- passing on the legacy of the people who work the land. Kids are a huge part of farming because farm families work together. And it starts early-not the work, but the togetherness.
This little fella has his own bag of freebies and I bet he looks at them over and over on the way home, dreaming of when he can drive the tractor all by himself.

Greetings from a fellow Illinoisan! I'm up Rockford-way. ๐
I have the greatest respect and appreciation for farmers! They are truly the 1 per cent that provides for the 99 per cent!
Blessings (and stop by my blog!),
