"Straight Cash Homey" Farm Girl (Video)

Filed Under: America's Farm Table Tagged With: agriculture, family fun, Farmgirl Friday, farming 10 Comments

There has been a 3 year old that has needed some extra time on the GriggsDakota farm lately. She has learned where her favorite baked beans come from by investigating the pinto beans in the fields, picked a few cobs of corn for Sheyenne the horse, combined with Grandpa Fred and lined bales with Uncle Jim. Her 2 year old sister and I accompanied Miss E to the fields earlier this week for a visit. Miss E brought along Mama Jane’s camera to capture photos. When I turned to take her picture she held up the camera and said, “Mom! Mom! Smile now and say…FARM GIRL!”
Indeed I smiled. She is more of a farm girl than I would have dreamed her to be at age 3.
She can tell you these pinto beans will become baked beans we eat.


She taught her sister, Miss A, to pick a couple cobs of corn for Sheyenne.




 There is no rest for the weary when you follow Miss E around the farm.
After checking fields, Miss E found her way to the hay field to hop in the tractor with Uncle Jim. Miss E is at an impressionable age and the farm is becoming a love of hers, teaching and training her in many life lessons while being surrounded by generations of family.

Speaking of impressionable and training, Miss E has a 14 year old teenage brother, Hunter, who loves training her to do really “cute” things according to a teenager. Yes she can sing “Jesus Loves Me” but instead her brother thinks there are cuter things to teach her…like rapping, “straight cash homey” and other funny one-liners. I captured this 30 second video on my phone a couple weeks ago and found it yesterday. It truly captures the excitement…of Miss E and you can see how proud her brother is on his training. I present our “straight cash homey” farm girl, an original on the North Dakota prairie. 

My friend Aimee writes a fantastic blog, everyday epistle and includes a daily Bible verse on it. I’m not much of a Bible scholar but I think the appropriate verse after that video is: 
“Train a child in the way she should go, and when she is old she will not turn from it.” -Proverbs 22:6

Translated to: we need less rapping, more Jesus Loves Me and more tractor time! 

Linking up for with friend Emily of Zweber Farms Family Friday and also linking up for Verde Farm’s Fall Farm Friend Friday. It’s great to have this linky party back as it’s a favorite of mine that connects with farms of all sizes from all over the country and globe.

    What a little darling! Love that little farm girl’s cute nail polish. I’ve lived on a farm all my life and have never regretted it. It’s wonderful for kids to know where their food comes from, to learn animal husbandry, actually caring for animals instead of just using them.

    Thanks for visiting Cranberry Morning. I hope you’ll stop in again! Now back to the pressure canner and more applesauce! 🙂

    I love your translation! I think the whole world would be happier with less rapping, more farming and Jesus Loves Me!

    I LOVE THE RAPPING. As the youngest child in a large family, I was taught a lot of inappropriate things long before I should have known them. This reminds me of the things my brothers passed onto me when I was a little girl.

    I also love the farm girl lessons. I have a lot of fond memory of bottle feeding calves, and playing in pastures. Dad had wanted us to grow up with a farming background, and while we weren’t standard farmers by any means, I think I can thank the farm exposure for helping me become who I am today. Great post, Katie!

    Those big brothers (of which I have two) can be such bad influences! But the video is cute. Your daughter reminds me of myself when I was younger – a little farm girl.

    Miss E is a doll, a farm girl, and a budding photographer. A lot like her mama :). Thanks for mentioning everyday epistle, Katie. I think your verse was on the money, er, straight cash, homey!

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
