Absolutely beautiful... as a 35 year old dairy farmer balding from the stress of my occupation and fathering 3 young boys I both cry and chuckle at this poem

Such a Beautiful and Inspiring Tribute to Our Beloved Farmers. My father John P. DeRycke was a very hard working and devoted dairy and grain farmer. It was the life that he grew up to love, on his Grandfather Philip Rose's Farm.

Keep at it Teddy. You will probably never be rich in dollars. But the rewards farming can't be bought with money. I just can't wait for hay season to start. I love to make hay. I couldn't imagine bringing in a whole crop of something that would be for human consumption. For now, its just hay but I love it.

Good for you Teddy! Makes me so happy to hear of your dedication to farming. You are one of our future farmers!

And pray that someday they want to be just like their dad
