It is not fall without a run through a corn maze for FHE.

Spud Harvest

It is that time of year again....time to harvest the potatoes. Growing up, school closed for 2 weeks every year so that all of the kids could help in spud harvest. I spent many cold days in the cellar at my uncle's farm. My Dad grew up a farmer. Farming still runs thick through his veins and every year he drives the digger on the farm. I was excited to take my kids home to show them the process of getting the spuds out of the field and into the harvest. It is an amazing process and I am grateful that I got to be a part of it. My Dad, Kyler, Ceigan and Riley in front of his tractor. The back of the digger filling up the truck. Potatoes in the field with the combine in the background.
