Click hereThese days our oldest son and his wife run the farm, with the youngest ready to join his brother and family as soon as he graduates high school. Both girls are still in college, one for teaching, the other in pre-med, she wants to be a doctor. The Yoder's oldest boy and wife work with Terje and his family. living in the house he grew up in.
The year Terje took over we added a slurry system for barn cleaning, doubled the size of the barn to 80 stalls, changed the 800 gallon tank for a 1200, upgraded the milking system and replaced some of the older equipment.
These days Britt and I spend most of our time on the front porch swing, playing with grandbabies and watching life go by. Our foundation continues to help farmers and people in our general area.
So far no one has figured out it's run by two people who thought our lives were doomed to be full of hurt and heartache ... until we met and fell in love. We were an unlikely couple, who against all odds proved to the world that indeed ... "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

I hope you've enjoyed the story. I've received so many nice comments and e-mails. I don't think I can continue this story without taking a different direction, and that would take the focus away from Nils and Britt. There are others I'm doing, and I'm finally figuring out the first person, third person thing.

Anonymous15 days agoCute story, enjoyed reading it, though making Nils THAT wealthy kind of makes it hard for us working stiffs to relate to him. Yes, he is himself a salt-of-the-earth type who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty, doesn’t flaunt his money [not much, anyway], etc. But once we know he’s has THAT much money, we know that his efforts to restore the family dairy farm are really just sort of a hobby, and not a real struggle to earn a living for his family. Really takes the edge off that part of the narrative.
But there is a plot hole big enough to drive one of Nils’ tractors through
Why isn’t Britt also independently wealthy?
After what happened to her, you would have needed an air traffic controller to manage all the personal injury lawyers circling like vultures, sniffing for a piece of the action to sue the families of the frat boys. Not to mention the local chapter and the national organization of the fraternity, for failing to monitor the behavior of its affiliate members. Possibly also the school itself, for failing to adequately police the behavior of the fraternity, though she might have chosen to skip that one in order not to burn too many bridges locally.
The mere threat of a lawsuit like this would have opened their wallets wide. Since the frat guys were already convicted of criminal offenses, no defense lawyer worth his salt would have ever dreamed of allowing a lawsuit to be decided by a judge or jury, to hear Brit testify or listen to her doctors describe her injuries. The only issue would be how many zeros would be on the check daddy would write.
goodshoes24 months agoSecond time through. Even better this time. If I could give a 10 stars rating, I would.
muskyboy4 months agoRe-read and still 5/5. Very nice SE Minn story. Lots of Yoders and Scandinavian dairy farmers there. You forgot to mention the milk truck fleets those folks own, The Dale Earnhardt's of the gravel roads!
