I am new to the whole farm business. It is something I have wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I spent the last three years in Iraq, as a contractor, paid off all my bills and put a good downpayment on a 10.44 acre farm in West Central India
My daughters and I just got back from the NDGA nationals in Greenfield, IN. It was amazing to see so many quality Nigerians in one place. We were a little nervous to show against so many awesome herds, but everyone was so nice and welcomed us immedia
