Then God reminded me to be grateful for what He's given me. I don't have crops yet, but we've got 6 chickens (our second attempt at farming experimentation) growing healthy, and more importantly, we are harvesting a bumper crop of God's most wonderful blessings... our children. Thanks for your post and thanks to all for the comments. I can't wait to be a "poor farmer" if it be God's will. By the way... I've NEVER liked the new car smell. Chicken poop suits me.

Ten cents an hour....be carefull, your gonna move into a higher tax bracket. Bryan Keep working towards the dream, you'll get there. Never give up. Tom I spent the 63 cents. Herrick They're really sweet this year, ain't they. The boys can't stop eating. Jon Sounds like you have quite a garden there! You are a Real Agrarian. We're all working away at trying to move to the next step, whatever that next step is. You don't need a lot of land or a farm to be an agrarian, and you sir I consider one of us. I'm no where near where I want to be either. Praise God for your harvest. Milkmaid

How can you put a $ value on watching your children milk a cow, enjoying planting sweet potatoes, teaching your children how not only to be a carpenter or a welder or furniture maker but to be godly men (I have all boys). But most of all, there is no amount of $ that can makeup for seeing my children feel the move of God. Hearing how the Lord spoke to their heats and what revelation they got from our family devotion or our home group meeting - $150.00 dollars an hour - YOU CAN KEEP IT!!!! As for me and my house, we are going to serve the Lord.... Squareye56 Scott, I could not agree with you more.

Your blog entry is, in God's hands, a means of "provoking others to love and good deeds." I get provoked to good deeds every time I read you. I'm not blogging, and I even hesitate to post comments, because what we are doing is tiny compared to you real agrarians, but we're picking green beans, corn, zucchini, tomatoes, jalapena pepper (just one, so far) and have dug a handful of potatoes. I think we have already harvested as much as we ever have since marrying 25 years ago, and there's still a lot of summer left. Last night we snapped beans; tonight, we are blanching and freezing, and rejoicing in the Lord our God who causes us to eat the fruit of our labors! Thanks to all of you agrarians: reformed, northern, KS, antithetical, deliberate, and others I've missed in the list. Maybe someday I will blog as the "Aspiring Agrarian."

Wow, I think we got you beat. My hubby figured out we make 10 cents an hour on our dairy. That night I cried and asked him why we were doing this. This post reminds me why. BTW ordered that book family friendly farming. After reading a few articles on draught horse press I couldn't resist. Thanks for reccomending it. Don't forget to add in the value of inspiring others on the path to Christian agrarianism. This value is of eternal nature. I am sure God is pleased with your influence through this blog. Keep up the good informative posts!!! reckon my times worth about 5 cents an hour.
