That Farm Life

Anyone involved with agriculture knows that it takes many people in many different jobs to make a year successful. The farmer or rancher doesn’t work alone, but instead is supported by people in all areas of agribusiness. For this series we’re interviewing Ag Pilots about their role and hearing their stories.

In this episode we visit with father and son Ag Pilots Stan & Robert Ferguson. Not only did Stan pass on a love of flying to Robert, but also a focus on God’s power and provision.

It seems that everyone who is involved in the Agri industry knows at least one person who was severely injured or killed in a work accident. It’s a grief we all know and it feels different from losing someone to illness or old age. In this week’s episode, guest host Mandi Barham speaks with Tracy Osborne about grieving after a sudden loss.  She explains how people grieve and how we can support those around us who have lost someone.

A year ago this week Zach McCamey was the first one on the scene of a farm accident that took the life of his good friend and coworker. After trying for months to hold in his emotions and try to deal with his grief on his own, Zach realized that his struggles were negatively affecting his family and his work. His story of walking through raw grief and gaining strength from prayer, counseling, and the unconditional support from his wife brings hope to anyone who has experienced loss.

Marriage is like a tractor – if you take care of it, do preventative maintenance, and fix problems quickly, it will hum along for years. For our first series on This Farm Life, we’re focusing on tuning up our marriages.

This week Mike and Cynthia Sullivan speak about making Christ and your family a priority – even during the busy season. They farm together with their son and nephew, who are the fifth generation in their family to grow rice in Mississippi County, Arkansas. They continue to build a legacy of faith, family, and farming that will last for generations to come.
