    Barefoot and driving a tractor while his dad encourages him- core memory created. This is the stuff he’ll reminisce about when he’s an old man.

    Meagan, I just know your beautiful momma’s heart was “swoll up” 😉💜 watching your dear husband teach y’all’s son on that tractor. Watching generational knowledge being shared, what a gift. Knowing this is a skill that will help him to care for himself and his own family once he’s grown. It’s a privilege to watch, and a beautiful sight for this old grandmas heart. I pray every day that this world will get back to focusing on family, on being more neighborly, and most of all, living as Jesus intended for us. Your beautiful, young family gives me hope. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I pray you inspire more and more young folks to do the same. God bless you all and everyone who reads this. ~Lisa

    That was a great tater harvest. Jacob did a fine job on the tractor plowing up the last row, he handled it well. It'll take a while to get that smile of his face but that's okay. Maggie did an awesome job picking up the potatoes too. That supper was divine, all that awesome fresh veggies prepared just right, what a treat for all the hard work involved growing it. Great job Megan. You all stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.

  • @tommathews3964
    @tommathews3964 6 месяцев назад +8

    Fun fact: Andy is actually pulling a “rotary cutter” through his taters, not a bush hog.(that’s not a criticism, me and everybody I know call them all bush hogs too!)Bush Hog is a brand name, and was invented, and the company founded, in Selma Alabama in 1951. “Bush Hog” has become the colloquial name for all rotary cutters, much like all tissues are Kleenex regardless of who made them. Bush Hog has been in continuous operation in Selma (my hometown) since it opened, and continues to this day. I actually played on the Bush Hog sponsored little league baseball team while growing up in Selma. If you’re ever down that way, stop by, and then eat some of the best BBQ you’ve ever had at Lannie’s right around the corner!

    As a child of the 50's, my favorite chore was digging potatoes with a hoe. They were stored in our cellar. We depended on what we grew to get through the winter months. I am thankful for all farmers.

    Love your videos! Girl…a knife company needs to send you a chef knife to chop and cut veggies. I used my favorite boning knife for years 😂. About 7 years ago, my husband bought me a really nice chef knife for my birthday and it has been life changing! I cook everyday and it’s been so helpful and made things so much faster! Your garden looks beautiful! I’m experimenting today…I let my yard long beans go too long and thought well, I’ll shell them and see how the beans are.

    That was another really good video. Love how the kids enjoy helping with the farm work. Y'all gotta be so proud of your boy the way he run that tractor. Good job, son and great job Dad and Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!! You really scored on your potato harvest. One of the best crops you can plant on a farm in my opinion. Fried tators, boiled, mashed, baked, french fries, potato salad, potato soup on and on.
