About Me
Hi, my name is Ricky McDowell and I'm a third generation farmer. I've been farming all of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

A farmer makes it possible for you to pick up a loaf of bread at the store or eat a baked potato in a restaurant.

I'll also tell you about the equipment that's necessary to run a successful farming operation. After reading my blog, I hope you have a better understanding of agriculture and the job of farming.
