Kenneth and Nadine were blessed with three daughters, who changed their lives overnight. Kenneth loved helping them with show calves and teaching them how to become good tractor drivers. Once he farmed less, Kenneth truly enjoyed his hobby of competively pulling with John Deere antique tractors, winning many trophies.
