Sometimes I wish I was a boy

I’m the oldest of two girls and someday I’ll inherit the farm. I think sometimes dad wishes I was a boy so the working farm stays in the family for a fifth generation. I mean, I can do all the work, even drive the combine. I still have to learn about contracts and selling the crop and all that stuff. In two years, I’ll go to UNI to study Environmental Science, so it’s ag-related, but I’m pretty sure I don’t want to work on the farm as a career. On the other hand, I’m glad I’m a girl, because dad and I are very close and I get lots of hugs and I love that! If I was a boy, all I would get is a pat on the shoulder once in a while.
