Dear Farmer's New Day Job

So, we kinda left you hanging.  We were hanging too...
but now we know what's going on!

Dear Farmer has left the fields full time to tackle another aspect of farming, while the family farms during the day.  Dear Farmer's new day job is at an organic soybean processing plant.  What's he doing?  He's running the plant.  Actually, he's firing up the machines and running the soybeans to them in order for the machines to process the soybeans.  BY HIMSELF!  {sigh, he's so amazing!}
While Dear Farmer is gone during the day the Wife and the children are farming the garden, preparing for the goats and the chickens, and cutting a lot of grass.  The "Sock" and the "Shoe" suit us very perfectly, we find.  We are people that like to be out-doors rather than in-doors.  We like to spend time together, rather than cleaning.  And we are minimalists...well, some of us more than others.

The largest challenge of Dear Farmer's new position...we are in a location that doesn't have internet.
The Wife didn't know how much email was  part of life.  And grabbing information off the world wide web. And GPS. Messaging.  Blogging. 
It's a bit of a pain, but everything has challenges.

Like Dear Farmer's new day job, a job he's never done before. Never even thought it existed.  But he's doing it to spend more time doing what he loves most...spending time with his family, and farming.

I love this Dear Farmer!
