Kind of said but not surprising given the economics. Even when I was a kid during the 1970's a dairy farm had a great advantage if the wife worked off the farm and had a career versus a job. If I could afford it as a hobby I would not mind having 50-60 cows and the toys that go with it. I always enjoyed watching corn silage get harvested with a 2 row chopper into a self unloading wagon then hauled to the upright to be blown up the silo.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
