Get Your Stamps Ready
So do you have a postcard yet? Or are you waiting to find an Ag Fact? Or maybe you really don’t want to put forth the effort. (Stepping on some toes yet?) In last Monday’s post (50 States, 50 Stamps, and 1 Common Love for Agriculture) I introduced my Stamps on Ag Facts goal for […]
Growing Timber: Burning Underbrush
Do you ever wonder where your paper or lumber is produced? You can Thank a Farmer or Rancher for that! The timber industry is pretty big in Arkansas. According to the Ouachita Partnership for Economic Development, 18,778,660 acres, or 56% of Arkansas’ land is used for growing timber. This industry contributes more than 32,200 jobs […]
Believe In What You Can Accomplish
Here it is the later half of January and winter weather is here. Every state with the exception of Florida has received snow. To top it all off, this past Monday was known as “Blue Monday” because a British Psychologist says it is the most depressing day of the year. I hope your January is […]

Showing My Support
I am always looking for new ways to show my support for Agriculture, the groups that supports us, and help to make others aware of who produces their food. From my work online and in social media, to the Texas Farm Bureau sticker on my pick-up, I do what I can. Last fall Ag blogger […]
Cold, Karma, And Cattle Outlook
Well, we are going on day 5 with the snow in Arkansas. Just one of the 49 other states with snow on the ground this week. Crazy ain’t it. Most of the main roads are clear, but the bridges and shady spots are still sheets of ice. The pastures are still covered in snow. The […]

Have a question about ranch life, cattle production, agriculture, or even who I think will win the game this weekend? Ask me anything on Tumblr and if I don’t know the answer we’ll learn together. In an effort to utilize social media to the best of my ability, I’ve created an account on Tumblr. I […]
