About Your Operation (See detailed instructions below this field.)

Please tell us the basics about your farm: What do you produce? How long have you been in operation? How did you get started? What prompted you to take on farming/ranching? Feel free to include anything else that you feel fits this category.

Run us through a typical season on your farm. What does the year look like? What does your typical daily work look like?

What do you love about farming/ranching? If you can, give us one of the those special moments that stands out to you as a "this was so cool" moment.

What is one of the hardest things about farming that you feel like the general public doesn't understand? Or, alternatively, what is just one of the hardest things about production agriculture?
