Welcome to the Farm

Well, here we are, needing rain again! In the middle of summer, our corn could use up to an inch of rain per week.

Our farm is located in the upper Midwest, about an hour from Lake Michigan. That's often a good thing, providing pop-up showers, lake effect snow and also, fun day trips.

We now have three generations of [insert Dutchy name here] on the farm. Sorry -- I guess I'm a little leery of sharing too much information. That would be Grandpa, DH and DS#1 all farming together right now. DD and DS#2 and I are all involved, too, at various times.

We raise beef cattle, hay, wheat, soybeans, corn, a few chickens and sometimes we raise Cain.
