I grew up on a farm, and reading what you said made me think of my deceased mother, thank you for that! I keep telling my husband that someday we should move to one! Have you seen AgMag.com? A great resource in this realm!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.agmag.com/" rel="nofollow">Heidi Sutton @ Ag Source Magazine</a>Heidi Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729295078128107692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697144516795736807.post-1501867721462735492015-04-04T09:22:26.293-05:002015-04-04T09:22:26.293-05:00Aw... hang in there.

As much as I can moan about not getting to see my husband enough during the busy seasons, coyotes killing off sheep, and high prices of farm equipment/etc; I love it. Can't imagine how hard it would be to have that gone all the sudden, even if it's for the overall good. I've only been married to my farmer 9 years and still feel like I'm learning the ropes (having 5 babies in that span of time so I get distracted a lot), but I'm thankful and just feeling like the past year I've found a place in this world and more solidified. It takes time and I'm sure it'll take time to find your new place too.RaisingCropsAndBabieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01897154924425187493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3697144516795736807.post-50552020159706489432015-04-03T18:53:32.530-05:002015-04-03T18:53:32.530-05:00I've been where you are.

But I did get through it and although I hope to never be there again, I know I'm better for it. <br /><br />I'm sure that years down the road, you'll look back and see the plan. Until then, chin up.

Sometimes I think we forget how each of us plays a role in the big ol' ag industry, whether we are plowing the fields ourselves or giving a voice to those doing it. I have felt the same way. My job keeps me at the computer most days, while my husband is the one outside every day tagging calves, feeding, mending fences.... Sure, I got called outside to block the road while they moved the cows to the next pasture yesterday, but I'm not going to brag about that little contribution, ha! Yet my role is still important in sharing the story of agriculture and so is yours. It's obvious you and Joe are true agriculturists at heart, whether you farm again or stay in support roles. Wishing you the very best in this new journey!

Plus your voice is VITAL to conversations and connections. Keep writing. Keep writing. Keep writing. Cheering for you from North Dakota!
