We own and operate a dairy farm. Our one and only product that we produce for income is milk. Milk alone. Yet, there are many by-products that most wouldn’t even know about.
Let me inform you -
We have the pleasure of seeing a lot of God’s critters that are usually hidden in his creation.
We’ve also have coyotes, snow owls, hawks, coons and more.
Another by-product is working together as a family. We frequently have 3 generations in the field.
Son #2 Chopping, Grandson #2 hauling wagons and I am merging. 3 Generations.
This is something Son#2 made up when I was merging with Grandson #2.
I have the privilege of watching my Son teach his son.
We experience miracles daily.
Watching a seed that was buried come to life.
Watching our employees enjoy God’s creation.
Having wide open spaces for our personal critters to roam - even tho it can be messy at times.
The sweet smells. I wish there was a way to share the delish aromas. The scent of fresh cut alfalfa, the sweet smell of milk and the distinguished fragrance of feed.
Having God paint the skies for us morning and night.
Then there is the quiet place in the barns when no one is around where you can let the weight of the world fall off your shoulders and be filled with the holiness of God.
There you have just a few of the by-products of farming. I could continue on for pages.
If you’re confused by the word by-product, just insert the word blessing.
I’m ever so grateful God plopped me here. Taking care of his critters and creation is an enjoyable honor.
