Say Hello to Renville County's new Dairy Princess

I was recently informed that growing up on a farm really shows through me. I come off as responsible and respectful with a hard work ethic. I earn my money and everything I have, and I don't spend money unless it's going to make me money. I am the farthest thing from a "girly-girl". I hate wearing dresses and heels, I could care less about jewelry or a diamond ring, I hate being in pictures, I don't want my fingernails done because I don't want to waste money by getting them dirty, and I don't wear make-up. The ads on my Facebook are trucks and four wheelers, not dresses and shoes. I'm most comfortable with my hair in a ponytail, my boots and "old" clothes on, driving machinery, or in the shop with the guys. My favorite day this summer was spent replacing the clean grain elevator chain with my dad. I ended the day covered in grease and the biggest smile on my face. Don't get me wrong, I love my job at the daycare center, but there is just something special about farming. I love the family feel of it all. As soon as one of the workers has a kid, they are out riding in the equipment with them. And if that means stopping to change diapers on the floor of the tractor, that's what you do.

Including me, there is only two girls (the other is my cousin), that are seniors in high school who live on a dairy farm or whose family's own dairy cows. That meant no competition for the county dairy princess. Renville County Dairy Princesses of 2014-2015 are me and a friend who is a year older because she works on a dairy farm. I cannot believe that I am a dairy princess, it will definitely take me out of my comfort zone!
