Month: February 2010

This weekend, my college ministry is hosting Campus Encounter; a 3-day retreat for State College campus ministries to join together to build our faith, dig deeper in our daily walk, and challenge us to put our plans into action in our campus ministries. This year’s topic is “Run to the Darkness”, however, I am still […]

Pasture Fencing: Everyone has their own way of doing it. Every situation is different. No two fences are the same. Whether the project is a short two hours of patching or an extended building project, each needs its fair share of planning! It’s one of my favorite things to do when I need a little […]

A friend of mine let me know about a recent find at Walmart’s meat counter recently, but I haven’t had a chance to find it for myself, until today! My find was individually vacuum packaged, frozen steaks. Options were New York strip or Ribeye!   You might ask, Why is this such a good find? […]

I found this posting on mikeroweworks.com a few days ago and am really intrigued by the way he puts this thought out there. I think it is worthy of sharing. Some more Food for Thought on our Food Production System. I’m really bugged about something and I’ve decided to throw it out there. Here’s my […]

I was catching up on some reading for my cow/calf class on this rainy Sunday and ran across a statement that I thought was worthy of taking note: A good beef cattle producer takes time to admire and evaluate mistakes. Successful producers focus their time and energy on sustainable and profitable beef production. In addition, […]

Well, woke up early this morning with a lot on the mind. It’s been a lil bit since I have had the opportunity to really get out and do some work with the cattle. College classes tend to get in the way of things like that. So I really cannot share weekly stories of what […]

rAlright, this post is gonna be a little out of line with my normal topic, but I promise I will get around to connecting it back to Ag without making a sermon of it, maybe. I was sitting in Praise Service this Wednesday night at our campus ministry, worn out, tired, and running on adrenaline […]

I stumbled upon a list of “101 reasons to be a vegetarian” today, and it got me to thinking. In an effort to learn more about why Animal Agriculture is important, one may ask “Why is meat important?” With all of this chatter about eating meat versus eating vegetarian, there are plenty of facts about […]

A few days ago I decided to take a new approach to the disagreement between Agriculture and Animal rights, which I outlined in an earlier post. To sum it up: I want to share my story with those that may have little to no contact with agriculture, other than the view from media and entertainment. […]

Social Media, It’s the new thing in the past couple years. You can find friends, acquaintances, company advertisements, junk mail and spam, groups, music artists, and yes even add new friends. Recently I have found that social media can be a great help in communicating with people that I otherwise would never meet in day-to-day […]
