The
2016 Harvest for Boston Farm’s is complete! It’s another one down in the books!
Usually during the fall semester I am constantly running back and forth from
Purdue to my home, which is two hours away. Harvest is my favorite time of the
year; therefore I am constantly sitting in class dreaming of “Home”. Riding the
combine with my dad is a cherished time for me. Some great “heart to heart”
talks seem to transpire during our combine rides together. The harvest this
year has been more rewarding for me because I have helped my family apply some
of the practices that I learned in several of my past Agronomy classes. A very
gratifying feeling to me is when I can help make improvements to our farm and then
see the rewards from it. 
I
have always had a passion for cows, so earlier this fall I purchased my first two
heifers! Anyone that knows me well, know the love that I have for the cows.
Those “Girls” are another reason that I have spent many weekends at home this fall.
Working with the heifers is a way that I escape from the stress of classes and
day-to-day life. I think that everyone needs to find their way to “escape” or “way
to relax”. If you don’t stop running around and take a moment to reflect, you
will take the little things in life for granted!Feel free to contact me any time!
