Perhaps a little known perk of farming

     Being a dairyman requires many things. Long hours, and working 7 days most weeks are just some of the requirements. However with these heavy responsibilities come a few perks.... 
     My wife and I were discussing these today on our drive up to attend a few meetings. These meetings just happen to be held in the resort town of Park City. As with most of the meetings we are fortunate enough to attend, they know how to treat us farmers to a rare nice night out. There are a few annual meetings that we look forward to every year. As I get older I'm sure the meetings will continue to increase.
     Farming and agriculture have taken me and my family to places I never would have dreamed that it would. Nashville, Washington D.C, and even Florida, just to name a few. An upcoming trip I'm looking forward to will be my first trip over seas. Our local New Holland tractor dealer is taking a group of us to London & Belgium to see their large machinery assembly plants.
     I feel very blessed and lucky to do what I do. Farmers are one of, if not the hardest working group of people in the world! Its nice to enjoy a few perks from that hard work every now and then.
