So God Made a Farmer {video by Derek Lowrey}

Since I was talking about farming yesterday, I had to share this awesome video with you! Our friend, Derek Lowrey, rode with Joel during harvest and shot some video footage on his drone. I love seeing harvest from this perspective and thought you might like a peek into what wheat harvest looks like here in Kansas. You’ll even get to see an old favorite pic of my boys (they were just babies!) during wheat harvest at the end. So fun! Thanks, Derek. You are super talented!

Excerpts from a poem by Paul Harvey, “So God Made a Farmer” delivered November 1978 to the F.F.A., Kansas City, MO. Shot on a DJI Inspire 1.
