A free hayride farm tour was a part of the day, and 1,800 people took a ride. After this hugely successful farm party, Dad is dreaming of bigger and better things. He wants to add an antique tractor show and even a tractor pull to the farm fun day this year. Dad and Mom and all my Johnson relatives get a tremendous kick out of showcasing agriculture for their expanding community of suburban neighbors. I am proud of my family of characters.
Agriculture needs more people with a passion to educate the masses about farming.
Many farmers are characters, and Dad is one of them. I like that. The Johnson family's Farm Fun Day will be held on October 8, 2000. Copyright Meredith Corporation 1997-1999. All rights reserved.
