Growing up on the Farm: McKenna Modler, Mount Airy Holsteins
Growing Up on the Farm, a look into local agriculture, fueled by KUBOTA. We are profiling McKenna Modler and her family farm Mount Airy Holsteins in Lansdowne.McKenna Modler was like many in the region, growing up on the family farm helping with various chores and being around her family everyday.
Modler says one of the most enjoyable parts about growing up with this lifestyle is that she got to see all of her family members regularly, which meant a great deal to her. Modler also says working on their dairy farm is very hard work and involves many chores she does enjoy and some she would rather not participate in.
Rock picking was her least favourite, which she jokingly adds that she still gets asked to do to this day by her dad, but knows its a job that needs to be done to protect the equipment.
She sees the future of the business going more automated, which the farm has gone to recently with automated milking machines, that can be controlled through a phone app, giving her family quality time to spend with each other. With her experience, she encourages kids to help out on a local farm and put the phones and other electronics down and really enjoy what a local of family farm can teach you.
