  • It’s definitely been an interesting week! Rest assured that by the end of the week I was feeling much better, the swelling had gone down, and I was doing good and grateful I was able to help as much as I did. It can only get better from here!

    Hello from the great state of Michigan. God bless our American farmers.

    Miss Erin, you are a ray of hope for your generation and the future of our country. You make this Hoosier proud. I applaud your Dad for having an escort when moving equipment. Not all do. I came around a blind corner last Friday evening in Staunton and was face to face with a 40 ft corn head full lightbars blazing. No escort, but the cart with the grain head was following behind. Fortunately the shoulder was wide enough I could pull totally off the road to let him pass. Had I not been being cautious, it could have been ugly in a hurry.
    Quit beating yourself up. It happened. It's history. Just learn from it and move on. You're an asset, one leg or two, and I'm certain your Dad would agree.
    Prettiest farmer on crutches I ever did see!😉

    Happy birthday. You have more ambition than many who are healthy. Don’t be hard on yourself. Neighbors helping neighbors is a great thing. Eventually you will get to pay them back or pay it forward. One of the great things about small farming communities.

    So Erin is a year older, wiser and smarter. Congratulations! I really get a warm feeling when I watch your videos Erin, you are so passionate about the farm and all the work involved in being a successful farm. More people need to know how much work goes into the very start of the food chain, as nothing gets put on the table until some type of farmer does their work to get it from the raw state into the food pipeline. Again congratulations on what you and your family do.

We all are happy to see you here on one leg than seeing a your headstone, it could have been way worst young lady remember that.You get alot done even with one leg. Try some ibuprofen for the swelling and make some homemade ice packs just put in a 1 gallon zip lock bag 2 cups water and 1 cup pure rubbing alcohol and put it in a freezer and you will have your own homemade ice pack.

      A good friend of mine was helping his father to dig fence posts with a tractor PTO driven post hole digger. He was sitting on the 3 point hitch to make it push down harder to dig faster as he had reached over to pick up a soft drink from the tractor fender and then the PTO shaft caught his coat sleeve and his arm wrapping it around the PTO shaft as it shattered every bone inside of the sleeve and his left hand was slapping him in his right part of his face from behind his head and back. It all happened within a few seconds. His father had stopped the PTO as fast as he could and that saved his arm from being pulled all the way off. It took him 11 surgeries with lots of pins and screws put in and 2 years to recover from it. Farming is a very dangerous profession.

You look great and seem to be dealing with everything pretty. Stop beating yourself up, you had an accident and you suffered a nasty injury. It’s bad enough that your body suffered but there’s no reason to make your crazy by concentrating on how this affects others. You never appear to put yourself first but now is the time to think about Erin. Please accept a long distance hug and the whisper in your ear that everything is going to be alright. Your awesome and your Family, friends and subscribers really care about you! Stay safe and stay strong.

    Please start use your crutches to move around when your knee scooter isn't available. Yes, they are inconvenient and a hassle, but they enable you to be stable and safely move from one spot to another. Hopping is going to lead to your falling and hurting something else.

    You are smart, beautiful and have a big heart. It breaks my heart to hear you put yourself down. I wish I was 30 years younger. But alas I am old and you are young and beautiful. Eat, drink water and keep your spirits up. You will be rewarded for all your pluses. Sooner or later, someone will realize what a catch you are. You really need to talk to "Larson Farms" on UA-cam. Chet just lost his wife, but Eric is a big strong Swedish American farm worker. He is a handsome young man. Maybe Chet after a little time... You are going to make a phenomenal Mommy someday, hopefully sooner than later. Even if not for dating get ahold of Larson Farms this Winter. That would be a fun video.
