TIFTON, Ga. (Farm Monitor) — Most teens are still figuring out what they want to do in life. However, for one young Georgia farmer, that answer came early after an unexpected loss changed the future of his family’s farm.
High school student Waylon NeSmith has taken over his family’s operation following the passing of his father.
NeSmith says that farming alongside his dad was never just about getting work done. It was time spent together and lessons learned through everyday moments in the field.
“I remember that there was never a dull moment with him. He was always joking. It was never serious. We just always played around, but we got stuff done, but we always made a good time doing it.”
Now, with support from his family and community, he is continuing the work his father started.
Nesmith says the farm is no longer just part of his family’s history, but has become his future.
