Family Brings Different Skills to a Home

My life on a farm. Feeding the nation is my life. If we don't have farmers that grow vegetables,red meat,poultry,pork,grain we will not be able to have a successful world and we would not be able to survive.I am on a 50 acre farm we used to have 5500 acres until my Grampa died from a car crash and the land we rented was mostly made into big houses with 2 acre lots. What we used to farm wasn't just one tractor we had over Millions of dollars in machinery.On our farm we grow Corn Soybeans Wheat that is what we grow but in are area some Farmers grow Dry-beans canola Oats Barley and those are just some main crops. I am so glad that I'm on a multi generational farm. My Life On A Farm The thing that I like doing on the farm the most is raising chickens but that's not all that I do. I like to do woodworking. What my family does. My Mom is a college teacher and my Dad is a Manager at Hensall Co-op. Multigenerational housing Our family is unique because we live in multigenerational housing. We live in 75% of our house and there's a 3 car garage in the middle and on the other side of the house is where my grandma lives. We need to save our farmland because with all of these big homes going up where our family lives but there is only so much land. Multigenerational housing is the only way farmers can grow food; it is also the way of the future.
