Chronicles of Kayla

Welcome to something new that is happening behind the scenes of Chronicles of Kayla & Wieczorek Farms ... I realize that I am several months behind schedule and while so many of you are happy to wait .. others would like a little more behind the scenes day in the life .. so here we are. Trying something new to keep a little closer to Days at Wieczorek Farms!

These behind the scenes "membership" will allow you to see not only new videos first, but also see things like Rex & I's workouts, traveling trips, sneak peeks at upcoming projects and writings and more things to come .. weeks if not maybe months in advance ...

Hayyyyyy…. … Jason & I are curious to see how many of you guys are actually producing and putting up hay … maybe not to 50,000 + squares that we are … or maybe you’re even doing more than that - or you’re doing a small grade & growing. — or are you here just cuz you like us 😉

Let me know on the polls below ⬇️

Choosing Hope | Day 9 of 75

The alfalfa at home is mowed, which means another busy week in the hay fields is waiting. More bales. More numbers added to already very full barns. Second-cut grass still needs is approaching faster than fall, and somehow… we’re already looking toward the next alfalfa cutting.

🌱

Add in appointments, practices starting back up, back-to-school routines and the normal chaos that seems to multiply faster than the bundles of hay in a field do and I can feel myself already getting overwhelmed before the week even begins.

💜🤍

But Day 9 of #75Healing is about HOPE.

And maybe hope looks a little different right now.

Maybe it’s not having everything figured out.

Maybe it’s trusting that today’s work is enough for today.

It’s finding balance between pushing forward and giving myself grace. Moving my body. Drinking the water. Eating the protein. Opening my Bible.

Getting outside…. even if “outside” happens to be from the buddy seat of a windrower as Jason flys over the field 😉🌾

It’s grounding myself in God instead of the growing to-do list.
🌱 There is still hay to make.
❤️‍🩹 There is still healing to do.
🚜 There is still life to live.

And there is still so much hope ahead. 🤍

The Golden Windrows 🌾🤍

Normally, I prefer silence in the tractor.

The hum of the baler.
The beeps from the monitor.
The rhythm of Black Beauty chasing endless windrows.

But this week hit different.

I made a playlist.
Turned up the music.
And tried to drown out the empty spaces.

Because straw season isn’t the same this year.

Keaton isn’t running semi loads.
He’s not overseeing me with every bale.
He’s not handing me pliers & giving me grief for not having my own.
He’s not sassing me on the radios or sending me snaps from the KW.

And man, do I miss that.

Straw has always been our break from normal. Long days. Hot weather. Dust everywhere. Endless golden windrows stretching to the horizon. Chasing combines and trying to outrun the planters chasing me.

This year, the fields look the same.

But everything felt different.

So I’m doing what farmers do.

Showing up.
Turning another endrow.
Trusting God with the pieces I can’t carry.

Life lately isn’t perfect.

But here in the middle of June, riding these yellow brick roads beneath a heat wave, I’m thinking about you, buddy.

Hayyyy-Hey, I’m Kayla — professionally held together by caffeine, faith, and questionable amounts of baling twine.

I run cows, kids, and a content brand… not always in that order.

If you see me crying in a tractor, mind your business — it’s either Hay Dust or character development…. Probably because I got yelled at by my boss. Again.

🌾 🌾 🌾

Married a hay farmer, became The hay farmer… now I measure time in windrows and weather apps instead of hours and minutes.

🚜 🚜 🚜

CEO of “it’ll be fine” and “we’ll figure it out,” part-time wanna be mechanic, full-time PBJ maker, and emotionally attached to equipment that absolutely will break at the worst possible time.

🤍🩷🖤

Currently navigating life somewhere between grit & grace, with a side of “Lord, take the wheel… but maybe not this tractor.”

If you’re here for perfect — you’re lost.
If you’re here for real life, real faith, and a little dirt under your nails… welcome to the chaos that runs on high amounts of cold coffees.

A quick life update from the dirt road 🤍

The last few weeks have shifted our world again.

In February, Keaton’s tumor became more aggressive and his health declined faster than we had hoped. This past week he began a new round of radiation treatments as our doctors work to push the tumor back into behaving. We’ve been making a lot of trips back and forth to St. Louis while still trying to keep the wheels turning here at home.

Farm life doesn’t exactly pause for hard seasons. Calving is underway, the mud is deep, and chores still need done between appointments, hospital days, and long drives.

Right now my focus is exactly where it needs to be — family, faith, and the farm.

Because of that, I’m stepping back from the regular vlogging schedule for a little while. Editing videos is the last thing my brain has energy for most nights.

Instead, I’ve found myself coming back to something that has always helped me process life… WRITING.

I’ve been spending quiet moments putting words down — stories, faith, the hard days, the miracles, and everything in between. My hope is that those writings will eventually become a book.

If you’d like to keep up with us during this season, I’ll still be sharing updates and blogs over on the website.

🎙️ You’ll also start seeing Dirt Road Anthem podcast episodes dropping as I record when I can.

And don’t worry… the camera will come back out.

When hay season rolls around in a short matter of days and the windrows are made, I have a feeling we’ll be back behind the lens.

Until then, thank you for walking this dirt road with us, praying for Keaton, and continuing to support our family.

We feel it more than you know.

– Kayla

Some seasons feel heavier than others…Right now we are balancing calving season sleepless nights, the warmth of unexpected February sunshine, and another pivotal turn in Keaton’s diagnosis.

The farm doesn’t stop.
Motherhood doesn’t pause.
Caregiving doesn’t clock out.

But I am learning something in this season:
You cannot pour from an empty cup.

So I’m resting when I can. Taking the nap.
Standing in the sunshine a little longer.
Letting God carry what I was never meant to hold alone.

Hard times don’t last forever…

But wow… they can feel heavy while you’re walking through them. If you’re carrying something heavy too ~ you are not alone!!!!!

🤍

Some weeks don’t go according to the plans we so carefully make months in advance. And deep down, by now i probably should be use to it.

I had every intention of being at the National Farm Machinery Show this week … hugging special people, shaking hands, talking farming, and filling my cup with this incredible community. But life reminded me, once again, that our plans are not always God’s plans.

Keaton is back in the clinic after chemo on Monday and hasn’t been feeling well, so last night we made the decision to cancel my NFMS trip and stay right where I am needed most — beside my boy.

Being a farmer and a mom has taught me a lot about showing up no matter the weather… but this road we are walking is one I never expected. It wasn’t in my plan.

Yet I trust it is in God’s timing.

There is a quiet strength that comes from surrender … from laying down our schedules and saying, “Lord, lead the way.” Right now, leading the way means choosing presence over plans.

Thank you for your continued prayers, messages, and support for our family. You will never fully know how much they carry us on the hard days.

If you think of us this week, please say a prayer for healing, comfort, and strength for Keaton — and for steady hearts as we continue walking this path. We may not be at the farm show but faith reminds me that we are exactly where we are meant to be.

🤍

Cheers, friends. We made it.

January felt like it had a personal vendetta this year.
Extra days. Extra cold. Extra everything.

The kind of month where water tanks freeze solid, hay rolls feel twice their weight, and the wind cuts through every layer you swear should be warm enough. The kind of days that start before the sun and end long after it disappears behind bare trees and snow-covered hills.

One photo is the work— standing out in the cold, hands on hips, surveying what still needs done because farming doesn’t pause for winter.

The other is the pause— a warm cup of coffee, fogged sunglasses, a breath taken before heading back out again.

Both matter.

January reminds us that grit isn’t glamorous. It’s repetitive. It’s cold. It’s showing up when quitting would be easier. And yet—there’s grace in it. Grace in the routines. Grace in the small comforts. Grace in knowing that even when the fields are frozen, God is still working beneath the surface.

February arrives quieter. Softer.
Not easier—but hopeful.

Calving season edges closer. The days stretch a little longer. The sun feels just warm enough to believe that spring will come again. And somehow, after everything January throws our way, we’re still standing—coffee in hand, faith intact.

So here’s to February.
To fresh starts that don’t erase the hard, but honor it.
To trusting that what survives the winter will bloom when the time is right.

Same dirt road.
Same calling.
New month ahead. 🩷

Hello, February. We’re ready.
