Wow what a week .. and in case you missed it – Jason and I went north for the last several days to hang out with our Massey Ferguson Team, in Iowa at the 2024 Farm Progress Show. in todays Episode of The Chronicles of Kayla we’re at the  @FarmProgressDaily  #FPS24 show in Boone Iowa […]

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.

It’s my birthday and I’ll cry if i want to right?! — Okay .. Maybe not .. but in all honesty.. maybe I will because for some reason this birthday is seeming to hit me just a little differently. Maybe its because I am getting older – as my teenage kiddo keeps reminding me. That […]

Sitting down this morning to work – my minds in this mental “rut” . I think it’s been there for a while to be very raw and real with you. Sharing my blog thoughts has always just been more about sharing what I was going through for such a long time. That if I’m feeling […]

Happy Fall Friends!!!! There’s a new season coming and I am more than ready for it to be here. While I absolutely love Hay Season and the chaos that comes with baling and putting up top quality hay for our clients it also comes to the end of September and we’re all very tired of […]

For most it’s maybe getting away for a long weekend with friends and family, the last boat day, or maybe just an extra day of rest before gearing up for all the fall school activities that awaits-. But the holiday also provides an opportunity to reflect on all that hard work you’ve been putting in, […]

Hey hay! Welcome to the Chronicles of Kayla where I share my daily farm life chaos! I am a first generation female farmer along side my husband Jason. We run a Hay & Cattle Operation in North-East Missouri.  What started out as a simple SAE Forage project in FFA almost 20 years ago, has grown […]

Are you just “livin life” or are you actually LIVING LIFE?!? I’m not exactly sure when it happened but somewhere along the last few years I’ve let myself get stuck in this “surviving mode” of livin’ life. I wake up. I do what needs done. I crawl into bed.

Repeat. Every. Single. Day.

40000+ small squares?!! Something I’ve never done in a “first cutting” season … with only 1 Baler, 1 Baron & 1 very tired Hay Queen 👑… read the full blog of the last 5 years of growth ♥️

Honestly I haven’t felt like “bloggin” life so much like I had once done .. my writing essentially had “dried” up.. the need to share my constant thoughts .. bogged down by the feelings of not being good enough … followed by over sharing .. and then “am I even making a difference?” …. Some […]
