“...daughter and son-in-law ...”
Our oldest daughter and son-in-law are trying to make a living on 120 acres in central NY! Their cash crop is organic milk. They have Guernseys and Holsteins and our son-in-law farms mainly to raise the corn and hay to feed the animals. Our daughter is an emergency room nurse to help fill in the gaps.
Best of luck to your daughter’s family!
Two of our neighbors have prize winning Holstein and Brown Swiss. Lots of long hours. 24/7
“...prize winning Holstein and Brown Swiss...”
I love Brown Swiss! Lots of long hours = so true and they have a 4 year old and just had identical twin boys in July. Lots of fun though - we were just there yesterday to babysit the twins and granddaughter for a few hours; it is great for them to grow up on a farm.
Our son-in-law’s family is a Dutch family that has been farming there for a few generations and our daughter is learning quickly since neither my husband or I had a farming background, although I grew up in the country and was around farms.
Lol - our son-in-law is from Dutch farmers as well. He and my daughter purchased two of the properties shortly after they married in 2008. They sold one a few years later and are just working the one to make a living. We never lived on a farm, but were surrounded by them as we lived in the country as well.
When my daughter was 5 years old, I remember asking her one day, just to see what she’d say, “Honey, what would you like to be when you grow up?” Well, she answered without missing a beat, “A farmer’s wife.” I was quite surprised....I wondered where THAT came from lol. In any case, she knew what she wanted and that’s what she’s doing!
Ten German Families settled the ten miles between our hills and Seymour in the early 1840s. Their families still farm the land. When I moved here in 70s they were still speaking German in church and small school a mile from home. There are still numerous dairy farm scattered among them.
That’s why I recommend the book THE LAST FARMER a to anyone from an agriculture background.
Beautiful Spread! Plenty for everyone here on the Train. Thanks Jessi.
Thanks, ma.
61 percent of GOP voters support Steve Bannon fight with establishment, 56 percent want Mitch McConnell to resign https://t.co/wM12WbID3x— Mike Cernovich 🇺🇸 (@Cernovich) October 29, 2017
Those numbers will feed Bannon’s scourge and discourage an already embattled establishment. But will they sway incumbents? Maybe. Already Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Jeff Flake of Arizona have decided to forgo their 2018 re-election campaigns.
Morning, NIKK. You are welcome.
Take care, Dolly.
Like an alt-right Attila, Steve Bannon has come crashing down on Capitol Hill, swearing a blood oath to topple Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell by scalping wayward Republican Senators unwilling to honor their campaign promises.
Nice bling.

Over the last year-and-a-half, a number of major conservative figures, from Milo Yiannopoulos to Chuck Johnson, have been permanently banned from the platform while liberals threaten the President’s life and continue to keep their Twitter accounts from suspensions or banning.
TGP spoke with Stone regarding what his next move was and whether or not he would pursue legal action, or simply dismiss the unfortunate turn of events due to Twitter being a private company.
Spooky WH!
There isn’t enough money in the world for me to dress and eat out practically every night. It just seems so exhausting.
