When you were a child , you may have played with your papa ’s farm toy dog . Most husbandman have at one metre or another practiced “ carpet farming ” with their toys when they were younger . It ’s a comfy feeling for farm parents to see their children practice farming with their little tractor , trust and charge card cows .
Practice makes perfect!
For the Kansas Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Instagram contest , I ’m submitting at least one # myksfarmlife photo each day . I also decided to save a post about why I chose this photo and how much it means to me . I go for you revel this series as I showcase my best farm photos with you ! In this photo , Farm Fit Girl is play with her dad ’s toy tractors on a showery Spring good afternoon . He is , of course , supervising . praxis progress to pure .
Farm Fit Girl amount from a tenacious crease of farmers , which is why it comes so naturally to her . Ever since she was a midget child , she has follow us out to do farm work and chores . As she get , she wants to avail us farm the country , ride big orange Allis - Chalmers tractors , feed the livestock and just relish her life out in the country with us .
When we are inside on a rainy day , Farm Fit Girl want to act with her daddy ’s toy farm equipment . Farm Fit Daddy is a “ nervous Nelly ” when it comes to Farm Fit Girl roaming around the farm , or even play inside with his antique plaything tractor .
You see , he also practiced farming the carpeting when he was a little tyke with the same equipment spread . He collected the same blood of crowing tractor , back hoes , trucks and trailers and semis that we have display throughout our home . It really means a lot to him that Farm Fit Girl is so concerned in those tractors . Still , he ’s very protective of those precious tractors and vigil closely so she does not withdraw a wheel or a smoke stack .
While sometimes she does , he is always gentle and teaches her about why tractors have smoke lashings and wheels . Why they MUST last out on the tractor . They wo n’t be able-bodied to move and do their study otherwise . The erstwhile generation teaches the young genesis different farm practice session with just a group of antique toys , such as equipment guardianship , livestock management , crop gyration , and fencing . He clear down more than just his collectible today . He is also instruct her skills for her life on the farm .
Inside our home on a rainy day , there is much work to be done . thousand of acres of carpet to be farm and so much fencing to be build . Toy moo-cow to be ship to pasture in the opposite way before the lights go off for supper clock time . We are learn her our style of life and she is drill in her own path because it ’s fun and she love it .
Someday , things will change and the tables will release . She will be the one to teach us fresh skill with the new time and technology . We will be the ones learning and practicing . Because practice makes perfect with each generation and each sustainable farm .
~Much Love~
