Help on the farm pics

[jon f mn]

Some pics of my helpers. My granddaughter Emmarie helping feed.

My granddaughter Ellie loves to go look at the crops. Here she is learning about chewing on grass.

Some help with fencing, three grandsons.

Gotta feed the help.

Son Nick and grandson Devon helping pull the well at -10 deg.

Help with welding. Devon is now a welder on a bridge building crew. He's working on a major highway build in Duluth right now.

Grandson Randell mowed the grass for the last few years.

Finally a couple very old pics, my son Nick. My wife took these because she heard him having a fit all the way in the house. The carrying on was because the wrench he had didn't fit the bolts he could reach.

I gave him a wrench that fit and all was good.

My oldest grandson is 7 and he refers to the farm as Our Farm. Last summer we had a bottle fed beef calf and I put a M on the tag for Mason my grandson. He liked to help feed it and would go check the feedlot everytime he came for a visit. He was not happy when I sold it. His dad left him drive while raking hay for a little bit last summer (his dad was on the fender). If I am doing field work I will haul him one round so he can see what is going on. If you look close at the combine pic you can see him standing in the cab. Tom

Nice.

Id be a little careful welding on a bucket full of hay chaff, can even see the ember in it, but must have turned out all right.

Dad was welding new nubs on the mounted corn picker, some stalks under got to smoking really good, I guess that was an exciting moment for dad and my uncle but they got it worked out before the flames got too big.

If that was her first day, she is a natural,!!!

Yeah I thought they did pretty good for the first time. Three of the grandkids are city slickers from Providence, RI. They come to the farm for 2 weeks each summer and jump at the opportunity to do all the stuff that they don't get to do at home. I set the backhoe in an open area where there was nothing they could hurt, showed them what the levers did, and told them to dig a hole. They had a ball!

A couple pictures of my helpers back when they were little. They are 15 years old now.
