Road Trip Day Three: The Farm

Uncle Eldred's Farm in Starbuck, MN
This is where Eric's dad, Roger, grew up. Roger is the youngest of 7 siblings. Eldred is the oldest brother and is 80 years old and still farming crops. This is also where Eric spent many of his summers and developed his love for agriculture and helping famers.

Riding the ranger with Grandpa! Oh my! They rode and rode and rode, probably for two hours .... and again the next day!

Eldred and his son Darwin farm 1,900 acres by themselves! No help.


Needless to say he has a lot of cool tractors! Here is a short video of Hattie driving the track!

That is so fun to see the farm! I'll show the kids in the morning. I'm sure they will be jealous and impressed! Thanks for sharing all your pictures!

Looks like you all are having a wonderful trip. The pictures are amazing and beautiful. Such gorgeous country out there. Look forward to doing a cross country trip with the boys some day! Tell Roger and Lola hello!
