    Harness your inner determination like you do with your fitness and apply it to running the farm and camp. This is just a door, go through it with desire. Your decisions aren’t wrong, seek advice when you need it. Stay strong.

    Hey Joanna!
    What a marvelous send off for your Dad Jo, no doubt he had a smile on his face while looking down to see the parade of tractors in his honor. It certainly was a beautiful cloudless day to celebrate his life as well.
    It’s only natural to feel as though you’ve been thrown into the deep end of the pool and to question certain decisions that must be made. It’s great to have a strong community of farming friends to share advice and ideas with, but your Dad taught you well and personally I have faith in you.

    What a touching, grand and appropriate ceremony for your fathers funeral. Just having observed him thru this utube channel, he would have been so proud of the tribute you arranged for him with the tractor procession. The uncertainty you feel about making decisions is very natural. You have experience and are a very intelligent young woman - you will do fine. Ask for input from others, then trust your gut. Your dad has taught you much more over the years than you realize.

      @@DaleFarm When Carl and I visited John on November 5th, and photographed him with Archie, one of the things your Dad said, Joanna, was that he was delighted that you have "got it" and that he was looking forward to hopefully visiting Belarus to see the tractor plants, now that he knew the Farm was in good hands while he was away. You got it, he said. So, you got this! I called by and spent ten minutes with him up the Chapel today. Not ever going to be the same village without him, but that you have the Farm is a continuity which consoles. I am so very sorry that he is gone, but I am equally so very glad that I knew him. x

    That was a lovely tribute to your Dad, with the things he loved surrounding him and saying farewell. Don't worry you have the support of farmers around you along with your Dad's brother that can help you with the livestock and farm, you're doing great even though you are doubting yourself a bit, at some point it will become natural to you as it was with your Dad. Thank you for sharing this fine send off.

    Joanna, your Dad was such a lovely man, it was obvious through your videos that he cared deeply for his livestock and especially that he loved you dearly, as only a father can love his daughter. Your videos are a wonderful opportunity to reminisce how even an ordinary day for the two of you was filled with respect and admiration for each other. You are an incredible legacy to his life on the farm, I know you'll do him proud and he'll always be with you.
