Abbey Gibson is a local farmer in our community, and has practically been one her entire life, growing up on the family farm and now working on it herself.
The farm was created by her grandfather, and now it is run by her dad and his brother, where they do mostly cash crop, though they do have some cattle.
Her love of farming started as a kid, as growing up surrounded by it, it played a big influence on her life.
Now, Gibson not only is working on the family farm, but she is also starting a family herself, and hopes to show her children her love of farming.
The new mom says that she wants to show her daughter the farm life, like the one she had growing up.
As for being a female in a male dominated industry, her advice to young women looking to enter farming; be patience. She says men aren’t and patience can get you a long way.
