WINDSOR, Va. (RFD News) — Family farming in America continues evolving, not just through technology, but through the next generation stepping into the operation.
For one Virginia farm family, a son’s return to the farm is bringing new ideas while continuing a family tradition decades in the making.
Cecil Byrum says he was thrilled when his son Steele decided to join the family farming operation.
Now farming alongside his father, Steele Byrum is helping grow wheat, soybeans and cotton while also learning the challenges that come with agriculture, from changing weather conditions to volatile commodity markets.
The Byrum family says farming has become a blend of old traditions and new ideas, something they believe continues bringing generations together.
They add that despite the challenges, farming remains a labor of love.
