This weekend the backhoe wouldn’t start and I kept thinking about your story in the first episode. We replaced one part after another another and finally had a good neighbor stop by to help. We got it started and the project finished just before the first snow storm hit Sunday morning.
Hang on Claire!!

I grew up on a cattle ranch in Utah and my parents were very active in Farm Bureau (in fact—they still are!). I appreciate so much the messages of family, hard work, faith, community and service that I have witnessed through their membership. I love agriculture and love hearing people share their stories. I am so excited about this podcast!
