We’re Lost – A Dairyman’s Story
Lloyd Tiede never cries. “I have never seen my Dad cry besides when his father passed away,” said Adrianna Tiede, Lloyd’s daughter.

He was born during the beginning years of the dust-bowl, and he understood the plight of American agriculture. But what does this poem mean to us today? What does it mean to you? Does it give you a since of purpose as a farmer?

This is my tractor….
A man and a tractor can make all the difference. The machinery that allows us to shape the land and move the cattle can really make a difference. Here is a short about a man and his tractor, and how much its meant to him. What is your favorite piece of equipment and why?
