A Lancaster Farming column reflects on life on the farm as rewarding and grounded in nature, work, and community. It notes hard hours and financial pressure yet emphasizes independence, family closeness, church attendance, and a deep sense of gratitude for divine provision.
The message links Genesis 22 with Luke 20 45 through 21 4 noting Abraham readiness to sacrifice Isaac and the symbolism of bearing the cross. It compares God providing a ram on Mt Moriah to the sacrifice of Jesus as the Lamb of God and highlights faith as obedience.
Farmers are urged to test hay and silage now for accurate feed values and request feeding recommendations from the Penn State lab. Also advised: store machinery under roof, consider calf hutches to reduce infections, and eradicate rats with cleanups and bait stations. Peter Witmer wins 1975 Dairy Shrine Club Student Recognition with a $500 award at Madison World Dairy Exposition.
