Welcome back friends! This episode we talk about how farmers feel the farm defines them. We want every farmer to understand that they are more than the farm. They are important, loved and so appreciated! We welcome a special guest Kate from Uptown Farm who wrote the blog, Farmer you're not the farm. As always stay grateful friends!
"So I need you to hear me again - YOU ARE NOT THE FARM.
You are a man who works harder than anyone I know. You are a man who is honest to a fault. You are a man who always finds new ways, better ways. You are a man who can keep the big picture in mind while maintaining laser focus on the details. You are a man who quietly, and humbly, prays for God to help you on the tasks he’s laid before you.
You’re a husband. A father. A son. A brother and an uncle. You are a farmer, a damn good one too, but you are not defined by the farm.
Your family and friends - we love you, regardless of your corn yield or planted acres or the price you sell your calves for."
