Welcome to the farm! If you're new here, this is perfect timing: we're starting planting season today. If you've been here for a while, I'm so thankful for you! I am so grateful to have you riding in the buddy seat of my John Deere tractor with me today: Day "0" of planting season!! This has been a long time coming; we've been prepping since the day harvest ended. I hope you learn something about why your local farmers are so stressed this time of year. Don't worry, theres a lot more to come, so I'll see you bright and early tomorrow morning for the official first day!
