The handsome young man at right is three-year old Caleb Rutherford, whose parents, Roy and Laura, farm near Grafton, N.D. The photo was taken during this past fall’s Red River Valley beet harvest.
“If Caleb chooses to farm when he grows up, he will be a third-generation sugarbeet grower,”
Laura writes. Caleb has two brothers — Ian, who is four, and Logan, two months.
Our thanks to the Rutherfords for sharing this delightful photo!
