    Bless you Abby for your loving nature that took you to your neighbor’s farm , sitting next to him on his tractor enabling him to harvest his crops. He had health issues preventing him from working alone. God bless you.❤❤

    She and that tractor are the therapy he needs. Our kids never cease to amaze me sometimes. Right when you least expect it they step in and step up without so much as a second thought. A beautiful young woman and a huge shout out to our farmers who without all their hard work we wouldn’t have the food we enjoy on our tables. God bless each and every one of you!!

      Dude your not lying my daughter of 6 tends to be pretty self centered but if she has money and sees a homeless person and shes good at picking out the fakes she will litterally scrounge the whole house for change to buy them food and stuff she started a kindness club at school and even though she has her attitude about her shes dads painkiller i have nerve issues as well and when she knows im hurting her inner thoughts all direct towards love and she will just come lay her head down on me till we are napping or i feel well enough to get up stuff like that lets ya know your doing right as a parent wich is important when in this world its hard to even want to have a child knowing how difficult its gonna ve in the years to come for your kid

    To any of my fellow old farts who moan about "the kids of today", the Tractor Princess would like a word with you. I'm sometimes saddened by the world we've left for our children and grandchildren, but young people like Abi give me faith that all is not lost and that compassion and hard work are still there.

    This remarkable young woman reminds me of my farm neighbours daughter who could do all the farm chores when she was 12 years old. She did all the hay raking on her dad's farm - better than most. Congratulations to Abi for her work helping a neighbour in need - a TRUE farming heart.

    These are the kind of values new generations need to learn. We see all the time young people being entitled, selfish and disruptive but is people like Abi who give hope, just a teenager and already a role model.

    Farming gets in your blood. You never know who's going to get the bug but when you get it, there's no cure.
