Welcome back to the section of the blog where the kids take over. Today we are sharing our recent video of a ride to harvest corn with our Uncle Mac of Born2Farm101.

Harvesting Corn

A yearly tradition that has started since Mac joined our family is a day where our Aunt Rose and Uncle Mac take all of us boys out for a harvesting day. Mom gets a day off and we get a day of tractors, dirt and corn.

What more could some country boys ask for?!?!

Our Uncle Mac is pretty cool and he lets us take home a bag of corn every year that we use to play farm with in our bedroom. It’s more fun to play farming when you have real corn to work with harvesting.
