😡 12 came home from school yesterday - uhh dad, our teacher is saying all chemicals are bad, manure kills plants & fertilizers hurt the land & some even explode from diesel exhaust. I'm not a confrontational person but we're gonna have a talk 😡

12 has never liked coming to the barn but has to anyway. All of a sudden this morning “dad I’m milking today” 😊 I don’t care if my kids don’t want to farm as a career but it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling when they show interest
