That phrase doesn’t mean a lot to most people, but in the Blose household it was, in many ways, the culmination of the summer’s focus for our family. As soon as school was on summer break, our children and Bill were caught up in the activity of presenting to the public the best the farm had to show to represent our farm in show animals.
This morning, on their daily messages to each other, out came the memories of early morning chores,, loose cows trying to escape show halters, and many more, I am sure, that they don’t tell Mama.
I reminded them again that Bill’s trust in them to take this responsibility was just one more way he recognized their capabilities. So I want to promote the greatest youth movement in our country, the 4H Club and the FFA programs that our children has access to in this county.
You don’t have to be a “farm” kid to be a part of the greatest, most necessary thing in our world, Food! My girls were blessed with a visual way with show animals, and a farm atmosphere, but the things they learned went far beyond farming for a living.
Go to the fair, see those young people, tell them how much you appreciate them, and as you scarf down that fried chicken, or funnel cake, or pork barbecue, think about a way you can help in the movement of providing food for all.
