Intro + Harvest 2013

This blog isn't about one thing in particular but as a farmer's wife, so much of our life revolves around the farm. My husband (N) farms along side his parents and I've been along for the ride since we were married in 2008.

Because of this, I decided to make my first post about Harvest 2013.

We had over 25 combining days this year and man, were they busy!

I work full time as an accountant, commute 1hr a day, and we have a very active 22 month old (K). N works very long hours and we don't get much sleep.

All in all, everything went quite well. The big issue was the rain that came in and stuck around for a few days. We were able to get all the crop off before any snow flew and we got to try a few new things on the farm like a grain cart and bagger system. N was so excited on the first day they used it!

We are so thankful for our families and friends for being so supportive. A special thank you goes out to N's youngest brother and one of the neighbors who come help us out every year. We truly appreciate it!

Here are some pictures (definitely nothing professional - which is something I hope to work on)
