You'll have to forgive me this week. I've shared all of my photos from my trip to Colorado and these long days in the yard have left me worn. Fall is a rough time of the year as the nights really cool off and the days still get warm. That temperature swing is tough on … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Farm Flashback
Wordless Wednesday: Mountain Livestock
This past weekend I took a drive through the mountains near Canon City and Salida, Colorado. The Aspens are changing colors and the mountain sides are filled with all shades of orange and yellow. Most of the cattle from summer grazing have been brought to lower pastures or hauled for winter feeding and the Peaks … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Mountain Livestock
Wordless Wednesday: Family Tradition
When it comes to production Agriculture, there is strength in numbers on the farm or ranch. People have joked for some time about having more kids because they are "free labor" but in reality the kids are a big part of a family farm operation. I was always at my dad's side while growing up; … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Family Tradition
A Day at the Feedyard
Labor Day weekend for most is filled with memories of family and friends gathered around the water or a BBQ soaking in the last days of summer. For many of us in production Agriculture, those memories also include getting around early to finish the chores before going off to the party. This is how it … Continue reading A Day at the Feedyard
Wordless Wednesday: Farm Photos with a Story
This week I'm going to share a few photos that have great stories behind them. But instead of telling the whole story, I'll just share a lil tid bit. These first two photos are from Kristine Keil who was raised on a 3rd generation corn, soybean, and wheat farm in Iowa. Do you have some … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Farm Photos with a Story
Wordless Wednesday: Drive-By Ag
This weekend I took a trip to Stillwater, Oklahoma to see friends and family. It was a great way to spend a birthday weekend and catch up with people I have not seen since May. On the trip back I opted for the less traveled state highways and saw some beautiful farm and ranch land. … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Drive-By Ag
Wordless Wednesday: Cattle Tracks
A few weeks ago we had a few calves decide the top fence rail was no challenge. So they hopped right over and two of them have not been seen since. It is always an interesting feat to find missing cattle. This is especially true when you are in the middle of crop country and … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: Cattle Tracks
Agriculture Everywhere
This weekend I took a road trip. No map. No destination in mind. Just the open road and a full gas tank. A new concept for me, but something I might get used to. Dalhart, Texas is in the very NW corner of the Panhandle and not far from Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, or Kansas, … Continue reading Agriculture Everywhere
Wordless Wednesdays: Way Back When
This week I decided to take a look at a few photos from back home in Arkansas. There is nothing like growing up in the hot, humid, and sticky summers on the ranch. It was a place where there was never a dull moment and there were always cattle to feed. Oh to be that … Continue reading Wordless Wednesdays: Way Back When
Wordless Wednesday: County Line
"We sure saw a lot of miles, never even crossed that county line." More great song lyrics that gave me the idea for this week's AgProud (Not-So-Wordy) Wordless Wednesday post. Dalhart is a town split between Dallam and Hartley counties in the Texas Panhandle, so I cross the county line every single day. I live … Continue reading Wordless Wednesday: County Line
