A farmer since day one

Trey

Trey is a very happy little farm boy. He loves tractors, cows, hay, tobacco and helping with all repairs and chores associated with the farm. As you can tell, he is crazy about John Deeres and has numerous play tractors and equipment. Just look at the smile on his face and you can see that little Trey enjoys being in the tobacco field with the adults.

A common day for Trey is going with DD (grandfather) to the fields and actually harvesting the leaves like the men. Once the trailers are loaded with the tobacco leaves, he instructs the tractor driver how to go get it to the barn.

When he was less than a year old he began going with his father and DD to feed the cows. We had an orphan female calf born this past winter that Trey named Sophia. He could hardly wait to get home from preschool to feed her the bottle. He and Sophia have become good buddies.

It is so amazing to us that this little 3-year-old knows so much about farming. He and his DD spend many hours on the floor with the little tractors playing farming.
