What I Learned As A Farmers Daughter
Organic Ag Law

I've grown up my whole life as a farmer's daughter, and most days, I wouldn't trade the tractor rides and bottle calves for the world! Throughout those years of being with my dad, I learned a lot of things.

1. If I couldn't walk or ride my bike there, I wasn't going to get there (at least not until my mom got home)

Driving the tractor out of the field and home to take me to town and go swimming was not in the schedule.

2. If I needed a ride, whether to or from a practice at school, I better expect it to be late,

If I was really smart, I would just walk home with my friends until my dad called.

3. When your dad says, "bump", while you're riding in the buddy seat, it really means "I know you're about to smash your head into the window for the tenth time today."

I'm still surprised to this day that there aren't any farmers kids who have long lasting concussions.

4. You thought babysitting was good birth control, talk about bottle calves for a second.

Do you want to be slobbered on, licked, sucked on, kicked, head butted, and pooped on at least twice a day? From the minute they're born, they can walk and follow you, and beller when you don't feed them enough.

5. To me, I'd rather squat and pee, than go in a port-o-potty. Why is that?

Well probably because from a young age, I had to squat and pee outside of the tractor on a daily basis.

6. If it rains too much before June 1, everyone's pissed.

If it doesn't rain between mid-June to August, everyone's pissed. If it rains to much after September 1, everyone is still pissed. Basically, you can barely win!

7. A meal really isn't a meal if it doesn't contain a protein.

Whether it be beef or pork, if it's not incorporated in every meal, it's not even a meal.

8. There's no greater love than a father-daughter relationship, and being a farmers daughter has only amplified that love for my hardworking father.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
