Recently someone asked me what I want to do on the farm. Honestly this isn’t something I feel like, I spent a ton of time on if any this year. I always ask the boys what their goals are for the year in January. Below are the goals they set for this year…

J’s Farm Goals

• Baby Goats
• Shovel poop
• Water cows at least once a week

R’s Farm Goals

• Baby Goats
• Feed the goats at least once a week
• Feed the pigs at least once a week

I think they did a much better job of actually setting goals than I did this year. Most of my list of goals is actually the plan for the year. I’ve lived on the farm for the better part of my 37 years hear on earth and I’m still adjusting to making decisions about what we will and what we won’t do so it’s hard for me to set goals.

Over the weekend I was reflecting on what I want when it comes to the farm and I have some goals for myself:

• Learn to run the brush hog
• Work on running a chainsaw
• Learn how to put the plow on the side by side
• Plow the driveway

What are your homestead goals for this year?
