A family that farms,works,play together stays together. All 4 of you make a good team I have noticed in your videos. I am glad your teaching your kids your values. I liked the side arm,the Browning Emblem on the steering wheel. I also like how you were trying to get ahead of the 8 ball there planning and executing your plans for supper. Back in my day on the farm,one of the most important things to have for repairs was baling wire. For you that don't know,back in the day they use to use wire for baling the bales, depending on where you lived. But,during harvest,a break down is always to be expected. THANKS for sharing your life and your family's on the farm.

When you go past the plant now it has a nice parking lot full of Ford blue tractors that the farmer uses every day .
