Good Boots are Invaluable

I love rain.

I love that it makes things grow - forage for my goats, grass for my sheep, vegetables in my garden... Rain is important to the farm. But wet feet are a downer for the farmer - and since I'm outside for a couple of hours morning and evening, consistently wet feet can even pose a health hazard. That's why one of the often overlooked but most invaluable tools of a farmer are his or her boots. Good boots that keep you dry and warm are just as important as the rain!
