A Farmer's Prayer
by Robin Fogle

Lord, bless the land you've given me,
and may I always know
As I tend each crop and creature
You're the One who helps them grow.
Grant me the strength and wisdom
Please protect me from harm.
And thank You
For your Gracious gift -
The blessing of a farm.
And yes, it is true, we do feel very blessed to be farmers and value the farm friends that make life a beautiful time here on earth. And speaking of earth, Farmer Joe has a couple of videos, the first one shows him spraying the weeds to help garbanzo fields stay free of grassy weeds.
The second video is about readying a field for test plots for our local university - many farmers, like us set aside an acre or two for the universities to plant and test out new breeds of wheat in a real conditions.
Last week I've spent lots of time cooking, as we hosted 2 different dinner meetings at our farmhouse, then I helped with food for a couples bridal shower for our youngest daughter & her fiance later on in that week ( yup sometimes I think I am certifiably nuts- but maybe that is my true "charm").
Pictured below are the dedicated board members, plus a few guests of the board members and executive director from the Idaho Grain Producers Association.
Menu: Steaks, potato salad, garbanzo salad, cowboy beans, and for dessert- lentil brownies! Yummm |
Plus, much to my youngest daughter's grumbling about showing up in the farm blog, I will be chatting about the wedding activities too. (one of the reasons to have kids, 1) make them do all the work.... 2) to get to have a little bit of fun at their expense) he he he....
As always, thanks for stopping by and please email me if you have questions at idahofarmwife@gmail.com.
All my best, Gayle
