When you're a farmer, it can be frustrating to read or see some of the lies and misinformation that get spread about farming and ranching.
Wanda Patsche is a farmer living in Minnesota who blogs at Minnesota Farm Living. She is a city-girl turned farm wife and she is passionate about sharing her farm’s story. We can say that she speaks for a lot of farmers when she penned her post, 10 words that drive farmers crazy.
