A Tribute to My Amazing Wife, Emily ❤️
There isn’t anything I’ve done that I’m as proud of as creating the “ Farm Your Way “ book. Putting nearly 20 years of farming experience in Oklahoma onto paper has been both challenging and rewarding. But the truth is, I couldn’t have done it without my amazing wife, Emily.
I’ve spent years gathering knowledge, learning lessons the hard way, making mistakes, finding better ways to do things, and scribbling down notes along the way. Turning all of that into a book that people can actually understand and use is an entirely different challenge. That’s where Emily came in.
She took my rambling notes, sorted through my thoughts, organized the information, and helped turn years of experience into something that others can learn from. She didn’t just help me put a book together, though. She taught herself the ins and outs of self-publishing, figured out what equipment we needed, and learned things neither of us knew when we started this journey.
And when our computer crashed and it seemed like the entire book had disappeared deep within its digital depths, she rolled up her sleeves and figured out how to diagnose the problem and retrieve the work we had poured so much time into. That alone says a lot about the kind of person she is.
Emily has a remarkable ability to teach herself new things, solve problems, and keep going when the answers aren’t obvious. Watching her take on these challenges has left me deeply impressed. I knew she was capable, but this project has given me an even greater appreciation for her determination, intelligence, patience, and dedication.
This book represents nearly two decades of my life, my work, and my passion for farming. But it also represents something else: the time, effort, and love that Emily poured into helping me bring this dream to life.
Emily, thank you for believing in this project, for helping me make sense of my years of notes, for solving problems I couldn’t solve myself, and for giving so much of yourself to something that means so much to me.
I am forever grateful for everything you’ve done to make Farm Your Way a reality. I hope you know how proud I am of you and how much I appreciate you.
This book is something I’ll always be proud of, but knowing what we accomplished together makes it even more special.
Thank you, Emily. You helped turn my years of farming into a legacy that others can learn from, and I will never forget that.
