I love to see golden fields after the hay has been mowed and baled. Farmers play a huge role in providing for our needs. This field is next door to our daughter's place. Some of the hay was purchased by our daughter for her horses. In my childhood days, we lived on a nine acre farm where my father raised pigs, chickens, cows plus having fruit trees and a huge garden. We had a big barn and my father harvested the hay from a field that made up part of the property. In addition, my father held down a full-time job. But we were pretty much self sufficient. Now we buy most of what we eat.
