Hello, this is Nikki McClure with McClure Farms for your #TakeOverTuesday. I am from Paulding County in northwest Ohio. We farm corn, soybeans, wheat, have a contract wean-to-finish hog barn, and raise Holstein cattle. I am a part-time ER nurse at our county hospital. I usually help out in the busy times when and where I can. My husband, Ryan, farms with his father Terry, and 2 hired hands, Burt, who has been with us over 20 years, and Jon, who has been with us just over a year. . . .

All the trucks are lined up in the morning and ready to go. Everything that gets harvested from the field goes back to our farm where it is stored until the guys haul it out during the winter months. . . .

This fall has been a little backwards with the harvest. No frost yet means leaves are still on the beans, so we started shelling corn last week. . . .

This past year, we put in solar panels at the hog barns, and also at our cattle operation. . . .

We have been able to get a few fields of beans cut this fall. After the beans are cut, the fields get worked lightly then winter wheat is planted. . . .

The corn has been wet, but we have the capability to dry it with natural gas. This is what the top of the grain dryer looks like. . . .

Somehow during these crazy harvest times, we find the time to feed the livestock. Between the wean-to-finish pigs and the cattle, we keep pretty busy! . . .

Ryan and I have 4 kids who love to help on the farm! Whether it’s sitting in a tractor, feeding animals, or farming my carpet, they are usually doing something farm oriented all the time. Here are the girls helping me feed cattle. . . .
