HOLLAND, MI (WHTC) – Hudsonville farmer Diane Lowe who is known as “A Farm Wife” is returning to the WHTC airwaves with her weekly segment newly titled “A Farm Life with a Farm Wife” after a four month sabbatical.
Lowe says she wishes it would have been a colder winter because on a dairy farm warm temperatures mean lot’s of mud and it’s messy.
Lowe spoke of the recent tragedy in Kansas and Texas and how the farmers have lost everything. Fires in early March scorched 625 square miles of Kansas, and there were deaths .As a Farm Wife this hits home. Lowe wishes that more news outlets would report on the devastation and that more Michigan farmers would get involved in the relief effort. Right now two local farmers are headed there to help.
A local farmer Todd Brinker is leaving out of Wayland tomorrow with 35 trucks.
“They are heading out and it is so cool because they are taking feed and supplys. People are donating fencing material, clothing, boots for the farmers and feed for the animals. It’s just unbelievable.”
Lowe says if you go to her Facebook page “A Farm Wife” there are details and links to how you can help.
In March, WHTC reported that 40 trucks left Croswell receiving a State Police escort to help. Farmers and truckers from four counties in the Upper Peninsula have also been collecting hay and other supplies.
Over 11 years ago Hudsonville Farmer Diane Loew sat behind a microphone for the first time and since then her segment “Random Ramblings” has gained her the respect and love of WHTC listeners.
WHTC and WHTC listeners are happy to have her back.
