Last night, C backed the gooseneck trailer out of the shop with D riding sh***un, and I stood there in awe of what she’s capable of. ❤️

This morning, G helped me hook up the truck, and earlier today he was running the grain cart. Now he’s riding along with his buddy, hauling grain to town, while C has taken her turn in the seat.

Meanwhile, D is enjoying the Apple Festival parade!

There’s something really special about this season of life. Watching our kids grow, become more independent, learn new things, and find their own places in the operation.

It seems like just yesterday they were little enough to need help climbing into the equipment, and now they’re helping us get the work done.

I don’t know when exactly that shift happened, but I’m sure enjoying watching it unfold.

It’s a really neat season to be their mom. ❤️

Harvest is underway, everyone’s doing a little bit of what they love, and it’s a good day to be a Miller. 🌾🚜

It’s been a hell of a day. 😂🚜

We started strong with a productive meeting with Progressive Crop Solutions, checked off a major to-do, and enjoyed an unexpected visit from Brad at BRANDT. Then the day unraveled.

Harvest technology needed updates (I have a major love hate relationship with technology), Sheldon battled equipment issues (specifically an electrical issue on the hopper bottom that wants our money 💸), and the brake parts for our ’82 Mack are requiring major problem solving. We signed some paperwork, finalized some fall purchases, took seed orders, wrapped up paperwork, and moved the girls’ fair money into their 529 accounts.

A farmer friend blew a tire (on his semi - first load to town - proving everyone has hiccups), a vendor called about a $2,700 invoice I couldn’t find record of paying (from February - embarrassing!), and family pictures got mixed up. We rescheduled, picked up a truck, ate supper at home, and drove to Toledo Tarp for parts. That sunset drive ended up being one of the best parts of the day.

We also got the funeral visitation date wrong, the boys were nearly a day early for their haircuts, and I couldn’t find a bra this morning 😂.

Meanwhile, Sheldon keeps answering, “Are you cutting yet?”

Nope. Not yet. We’ll start when our beans are ready.

The crops are getting closer, and the to-do list keeps growing. But there were beautiful moments, too: sunrise, sunset, family singing “Half Happy Birthday to [me],” and I realized Sheldon and I have been a couple for 20 years (give or take a day or two). 😳

Messy, frustrating, exhausting days still come with plenty to be thankful for—especially family, good people, and the little moments that make it all worthwhile. ❤️

The little jobs before the big job begins. 🚜💦

Sheldon and C headed east to pick up one of our hopper bottom trailers, which left D and G behind with a job of their own—getting the tractor washed up and ready for grain cart duty.

They’ve got the lift out, every washing tool one could possibly want, and apparently plenty of opinions on how the job should be done. 😂 From my spot in the office, it’s been pretty entertaining listening to their back-and-forth banter while they work.

These are the parts of harvest prep I love—the ordinary afternoons, kids working alongside us, and everyone doing their little part before the big job begins. 🌽❤️

Saturday morning around here. 🤎

This week consisted of even more harvest prep, and we’re thinking we’re still about a week to a week and a half away from getting started—rain dependent, of course.

That late start we had this spring thanks to all the rain is catching up with us now, and we’re preparing ourselves for a harvest that could take us well past Thanksgiving this year 🦃. It wouldn’t be a first, but it certainly doesn’t happen often!

Today, though, the kids are home and somehow our calendar is completely blank. 🙌🏻 So we’re taking advantage of it.

There’s more harvest prep happening, trucks to get ready, and early seed orders to work through before the October 15 deadline. Mama has multiple bookkeeping tasks waiting, along with getting a head start on harvest field-meal prep.

And breakfast in the shop. 🍳🍞 (photo in comments 🙃)

Extra thankful for these fresh-milled flour buns from Tammy Meek with Your Daily Bread in Oak Harbor. We’ve been trying to make some more gut-friendly choices around here, and these are SO tasty. I love that we can support a local small business while also being a little more intentional about what we’re eating. Definitely recommend giving her a try!

Mostly, today I’m just thankful for capable kids who can drive trucks, lend a hand on the farm, and help around the house—and for a dog who is perfectly content as long as all of her people are home. 🐾

The calendar may be blank today, but there’s certainly no shortage of things to do.

Harvest is coming. 🌽 🌱

I really do think I should have farm plates on my buggy at this point. 😂

Yesterday’s parts run included this CAUTION: HEAVY belt that G and I decided required a two-man lift to get into my car. We’ll ignore the fact that one actual man probably could’ve handled it. 😂

Joking aside, this was a really good pre-harvest catch. The old belt had a couple of rips in it, and this replacement had to make its way here from Canada. Had the old one decided to give up in the middle of harvest, we might have been sitting for a while.

That’s a lot of what these days before harvest look like — checking, fixing, ordering, running for parts and trying to catch the problems before they become harvest problems.

One more thing off the list. ✔️ Now we wait for the crops to say go. 🌽

What does it take to run a farm? Turns out, an alarming amount of paperwork. 😂

And phone calls. And planning. And decisions. And then usually a little more paperwork — and a lot more phone calls & decisions.

If you’re new here, we’re Sheldon + Sam, the faces behind Sheldon Miller Farms. We grow corn, soybeans and wheat here in eastern Ottawa County, Ohio. We were both raised in this community, and now we’re raising our three kids here while building a farm and a life we’re pretty grateful for.

We share fields, equipment and pretty sunsets here, but those are only a small piece of what it takes to get a crop from seed to harvest.

There’s crop insurance and H2Ohio reporting, bookwork and bills, seed orders for another growing season, parts to track down, equipment to repair and fields to scout. There are phone calls, plans, and decisions that change right along with the weather — and plenty of conversations that happen at this table.

As we head toward harvest, we want to do a better job of sharing all of it — what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, the people who help make it possible, and the everyday side of being a farm family.

Whether you’ve followed along for years or just found us, we’re glad you’re here.

Harvest 2026 is almost here. Come along with us. 🌽🚜

Not your typical ride to a field day. 🚁🌱

Sheldon received a special invitation to be picked up by helicopter and flown directly to Beck’s PFR Tour — which is especially noteworthy considering he’s not exactly a fan of flying. 😂

Once there, he had the opportunity to see more than 70 research plots and spend time learning about practices, products and ideas that could translate back to our own acres.

For Sheldon, that’s what made an opportunity like this worth taking — always learning, always asking questions and always looking for ways to increase profitability on the farm.

Pretty incredible way to spend time in agriculture!

It’s been slow on this page, but certainly not in life. 🌱

The last couple of weeks have been busy, per usual.

There’s a misconception that once the crops are growing and everything is green, a farmer’s work is mostly done until harvest. In reality, there’s still plenty happening. A lot of decisions are made while the crop grows, and field management throughout the season plays a big role in what harvest ultimately looks like.

Sheldon recently made an R3 pass over the soybeans where he felt the crop had the yield potential to justify it. He’s also been cleaning up field and property edges, working on equipment — especially all things harvest — and tackling the never-ending list before fall.

Meanwhile, I’ve been buried in paperwork, especially billing this time of year, and I’m already getting antsy about year-end prep. Farm year-end work starts long before the combine ever rolls!

We’re also looking forward to our field day in just a couple of weeks. It’ll be our first with Hoegemeyer following the merger that brought Seed Consultants together with a few other seed companies. We’ve planted Seed Consultants for years, so we’re excited to see what this next chapter looks like. If you’re curious about it, too, feel free to reach out!

We’ve squeezed in some fun, too — tractor pulls in BG, a few weekends camping with friends, time around the water, and soaking up as much summer as possible.

And the kids started school.

Actually, that one doesn’t belong in the “fun” category. 😂

It won’t be long until the crops begin to turn, and this quote feels pretty fitting right about now:

“August is the Sunday of summer; it breathes a little heavier, knowing Monday’s harvest is just around the corner.” 🌽🌱

And just like that, another summer on the farm is nearly behind us.
