The daily grind of a southern Minnesota Dairy Farm. My husband Jonathan and I run a 200 cow dairy in partnership with his father, and his additional 100 cows. We have a traditional family dairy. We love our job, it may be hard but it's very rewarding.

Hauling Manure-Day 3, DONE! FINALLY!
A quick look back at what it was like to be finished hauling manure, back in November 2009! We hauled it out again this spring but instead of being hauled to the field it was stored at a friend's farm where he will spread it this coming fall on his fields. Spring manure hauling sometimes is tricky with wet soils and spring rains we can have soil compaction, making for poor growing conditions for the crops.

I write this blog to share my passion for my cows and farming, please be respectful of that. I reserve the right to delete those comments which portray hate, call names, and are out right disrespectful. If you have an honest question, I will respond, to explain what we do on our farm, why we do it and how we do it. Please read with an open mind. My time to blog is short, as most of our days are spent caring for our beloved cows. Thank you!
