I am a farmer’s daughter.
I saw my dad today in the grain truck and instantly smiled knowing he is still doing what he loves. Perhaps Fall is my favorite season because Harvest is his favorite season. He was heading back to the field.
Farmers are out picking corn and beans and hauling grain to the elevators. They are moving their farm equipment, sprayers, tractors, grain augurs, and pickup trucks. They are parking their semis alongside the fields. They take wide turns. They go slow. They use field entrances you may not see.
Give them room. Slow down. Don’t pass at intersections. Watch their turn signals. Allow them to get to and from safely. They are someone’s family. It’s a busy season right now. Help them by being patient and cautious.
He has driven a combine and a semi since long before I was born. I couldn’t be more proud when I tell people my dad is a farmer. I’m thankful there are so many others who can say the same. Farming is a way of life.
