Farm Life

I live on a farm that raises all different kinds of animals from cows to ducks. On my farm there is only me and my parents working on the farm as of right now. I am planning on going to Iowa State University for agronomy and after graduating from Iowa State I then plan on taking over the home farm and mainly taking over the crop production of the farm, I have played a great role out on my farm by milking the cows to working up the fields with the tractor.

Living on the farm I do or have done just about everything on a farm that you can do. Working with the cows I have milked them and delivered a newborn baby calf. I also have gave medical shots and gave cows and calves pills to make them feel

or become better over an illness. I get up or try to get up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at four thirty in the morning so I can do chores before lifting. I have to help every morning and night with chores and sometimes we do not get in to the house until ten or eleven at night.

What I enjoy about the farm is working in the fields. Sitting in the tractor is the best time cause it’s just you and the tractor with its radio. I could spend days in the tractor with the radio playing. I also like it where we live because we have no or little phone service so you can get away from the outside world and you don’t have to worry about anything!
