They Say 'I Do' To Farming

摘要

The getaway vehicle outside 'the church was a John Deere tractor with a sign attached that said, "She thinks my tractor's sexy." Their wedding party went to the hayfield nearest the family farm to take pictures. Jamie Hilaman planned a honeymoon tripto Iowa, where she and her new husband, Chris, toured John Deere Waterloo Works. You might say this couple is in love with farming. It's certainly not infatuation. They've both wanted to farm since their respective childhoods near Wakeman, Ohio. Right now, they grow soybeans, hay, and corn on about 650 acres, most of which is cash rented or on shares with the landowners. Chris, 30, finds this is a manageable amount to work on his own. But his goal is to eventually farm 1,000 to 1,500 acres.
