In awe of a farmers’ daily ‘to do’ list.
I asked questions.
Listened.
Learned.
Took portraits of ‘the original, american entrepreneur.’
Told their stories on Facebook
Shared the certainty.
Of what ‘i saw:’
The farmers. Milk haulers. Veterinarians. Salesman. Grain bin builders.
2021: Generations removed, 3 and 4 times from a farm.
Unknown.
My purpose.
Clearly.
Certain.
#celebrateWORK.
Born of my blue-collar father’s roots.
Rejected at 18 years old!
Embraced:
When I listened to a farmer.
Stories.
Words.
Pictures.
Wondering.
How a city kid.
Never on a farm.
Can know agriculture.
Without…
Getting the dirt.
Of agriculture.
In their sights.
And on their hands.
