HayHEY! Welcome back to the Farm … I am super excited and gearing up for Farm Progress Show 2024 in Boone, Iowa coming later this month.. We have been keeping up with videos again, but I am wanting to go ahead and share our “Meet & Greet” Schedules since we will be floating between both […]

But it sure felt good to be back in the tractor seat this week – even if my stress levels nearly put Jason through the front windshield while I was trying to learn something NEW.

There’s a quote that has always stuck in my head – –

“You can only grow if you’re willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.” By Brian Tracy – –

Burnout is a really hard thing to grasp … and I’m not talking about throwing some rubber on a blacktop having a little too much fun. I

I am a VOICE in Ag. I am ONE of a Kind. I am a Female Farmer Sharing HER story. And I am so thankful, for the little reminder that it’s okay to be different and not be like the rest. It’s what makes me Authentically Me.

Sitting down to “write” became my journal after sis was born in 2015… I never “blogged” to make money. Heck I still don’t Vlog to make a living (I BALE HAY for that..) my hope & really only goal has always been to just share my story & return… maybe help one other person going through the same things in life.

America was built on the dream of freedom. The freedom to work the land. To build something of your own. To plant roots deeper than yourself and leave something better for the next generation. At Wieczorek Farms, we’re not carrying on a century-old family operation. We’re a first-generation farm family building our legacy from the […]

The Hardest Job Is to Live | Chronicles of Kayla I recently read a book dedication that simply said: “For every soul who’s ever watched something precious slip through their fingers and didn’t pretend it didn’t hurt. You are not broken for grieving. You are brave for remembering.” I had to stop reading. Because for […]

Three words no hay farmer really wants to hear this time of year. “There’s Rain Coming” forecasted after you had a 3 day window that turns into 10 days of rain; ranging between 20% chance to full on storm threats. Now don’t get me wrong—we’ve been blessed with rain this spring. The alfalfa is growing, […]

TODAY!! TODAY. Not tomorrow.Not next Monday.Not when life slows down.Not when things hurt a little less. Today. Because the truth is, there will always be chores to do, cattle to feed, hay to make, excuses to lean on, and reasons to wait. This month, I’m choosing something different. I’m choosing routine.I’m choosing movement.I’m choosing healing.I’m […]

🤠 The “Unhinged” Version (because… let’s be honest…… HayHey – I’m Kayla — professionally held together by caffeine, faith, and a little baling twine. I run cows, kids, and a content brand… not always in that order. If you see me crying in a tractor, mind your business — it’s either diesel fumes or character […]

Forever Holding You Up Chronicles of Kayla | Dirt Road Anthem There was a time when holding you up was something I could do with my own two hands. For 15 years… I carried you. And I don’t mean that lightly—I mean physically, fully, without hesitation. From the days when you were small enough to […]

Finding Routine on the Unpaved Road{4.16.26} Feeding livestock is a daily thing.Walking the herd.Checking for any signs of illness.Making notes.Tagging newborns.Picking out the sassy ones.Snagging photos of the ones I’d like to maybe keep down the road. It’s routine. It’s rhythm. It’s what we do. And yet—rarely is it ever the same. Lately, finding that […]

“Cold Fronts & Heavy Hearts” Last week had me fooled. T-shirt weather. Sunshine. A little glimpse of what’s coming. The kind of day that makes you believe you’ve made it through the worst of it. And then Monday showed up. Cold. Bitter. The kind that cuts through chore coats and settles deep in your bones. […]

The “I Can Do Anything” MentalitySomewhere along the road of life, I picked up a mindset that sounded strong on the surface. “I can do anything.” And for most of my life, that mentality has served me well. As a woman, I’ve spent years fighting for my place. Fighting to prove that I belong. Fighting […]

Wanna know the honest truth? I’m tired. Not the “I stayed up too late scrolling” kind of tired.Not the “one busy week” kind of tired. The bone-deep kind. The kind where iced coffees aren’t even for enjoyment anymore — they’re just protein delivery systems. At least I don’t have to reheat them this way, right? […]
