Farmer Tessy Brisbois begins her day in the early morning by feeding her livestock and mucking out the barn. She then checks the fields to make sure no calves have been born over night. After morning duties have finished, other daily chores include working in the fields and farming her crops. For Brisbois this is a typical day.
