I need someone:
- To make sure I don't starve
- To make sure I don't smell bad
- To make sure I don't work myself to death
It would also be helpful if:
- The lawn was any shade of green and didn't need swathing
- The fridge didn't contain stuff that looks like 6th grade science experiments
- The house didn't look like someone had just shaken all its contents
It's a bonus if:
- Spontaneous road trips to town for parts were your idea of fun
- You enjoyed the challenge of creating tasty lunchbox treats
- You like waiting in random fields
Must be:
- Able to get along with the husband and dog
- Flexible to last minute schedule changes
- Able to entertain oneself during seeding, fertilizing, and harvest
- Able to tolerate grumpy farmers
Compensation includes:
- Free tractor/combine rides
- Country living
- Knowledge you are doing something vital to keep the world fed
Applicants must also understand that farming is a lifestyle, not a job. It includes almost no weekends off, no paid vacations, and not much time for social events or friends.
Being a farm wife isn't for everyone. It takes a special person, and I hope all the farm wives out there know they are important! Thank you for all you do!
