Ask a farmer why he farms and you'll get many different answers. Ultimately we have been given the responsibility to help feed the world. If you think about it a farmer only gets forty to fifty chances in his lifetime to put in a crop. In this weeks activities we are focusing and preparing to put in one of those crops. 
After a long winter the farm yards usually need some rock to firm and clean them up. I got in trouble taking this picture. I wasn't supposed to get out of my truck at the rock quarry.
We always use spring break week as a goal to get seed corn delivered to our seed customers. Otherwise it gets put off and before you know it we are in the field.
Another early spring job is to fix tile holes. Tile holes happen when a broken, usually older tile starts sucking in dirt. An easy fix is when you just scrape the dirt off the top of the tile and identify the problem. A hard fix is when you dig too deep and both ends of the tile come up out of the ground.
Since the boys do tiling and terracing for hire quite often we do our own work before it's quite dry enough. So sometimes we have to hook the dozer to the tiling machine in order to get through the wet spots.
Sometimes we have to hook the dozer on to other things. In this case I'm pulling Mark out of his pond.
In Luke 9:62 Jesus talks about a farmer needing to look straight ahead and stay focused on his job to be effective. However even though we are to be faithful in our occupations He is using an earthly example to remind us that ultimately we are to have an eternal goal with a heavenly focus.
