My First Tractor Published | Small Farm Life at Two Mile Ranch

I am very humbled to include a blog post from this site in Jerry Apps’ compilation of stories about farmer’s first loves.

My First Tractor: Stories of Farmers and Their First Love appears in many online book sellers this week and includes work by Michael Perry, Bob Artley, Roger Welsch, Bob Feller, Ben Logan, Gwen Petersen, Ralph W. Sanders, Robert N. Pripps, Patricia Penton Leimbach, Randy Leffingwell, Lee Klancher, Don Macmillan, Scott Garvey, John Dietz, and more.

Of personal note are two essays, one by Ralph W. Sanders, who by coincidence, is the father of a neighbor, and the other by Micheal Perry, who I blogged about a year ago. Perry’s story comes, in part, from his book, Coop: A Family, a Farm, and the Pursuit of One Good Egg (P.S.)

I’d like to thank the folks at Voyageur Press for including me in this project.
