This post is dedicated to my husband, his parents, siblings, his nephews and the multitude of ancestors who poured so much of their energy into life in rural America on what is referred to as "the family farm." And, let me be completely transparent -- while I am married to this deeply loyal and loving family farmer, and admire and cheer him on, HE is the one that does the work... HE does the "farming"....and, does it with a smile and kindness in his heart. He LOVES it.
Featured in the above photo are my husband (third from left), his brother and nephews. These four do the work. They show up. They collaborate. They deeply care about one another, their family farm, their roots, their loved ones and their communities. And that is something beautiful, something to honor and celebrate and something to admire and cherish.
Below the next photo ( from the Iowa Dept of Ag social media post ) is a more detailed explanation of the actual award.
