I LOVE agriculture!

I love agriculture and have seen quite a few funny and/or sweet ag/country/western Valentines around, but this one stood out to me and couldn't help but share. I also thought of my friend Kelsey who works for the Nebraska Corn Board when I saw this!

They are famous for their fish tacos, so of course I had to try them out....they lived up to their reputation.

Its fast fresh and healthy Mexican food, can't go wrong with that!
So if you are ever get the chance to try it, go for it!

The old and young of Agriculture

When I went the the Kansas Junior Livestock Show I saw this scene......... it made me smile!

It is great to see both generations involved in agriculture. I believe it is important for the young to have a role model to look up to and learn from. However, on the opposite side there is much for the older to learn from generations behind them. With respect for each other you can learn so much!

"So God Made a Farmer"

I hope each and everyone have seen the Dodge commercial by now that aired last night during the big game. I was happy to wake up and see my friends have been posting this to my Facebook wall, just to make sure I hadn't missed it, they definitely know me & how much I love agriculture!

This was definitely the highlight of the Super Bowl in our house!The familiar voice of the late Paul Harvey reciting his speech he originally gave at the 1978 Future Farmers of America  (FFA) national convention, the words and images brought us pride and to tears.

When you watch the video on Ram’s website, and share a badge, the Ram Brand will make a donation to National FFA Organization (up to $1 million) and assist in local hunger and educational programs. My friend Kelsey did a great job expressing what this meant for agriculture.

Share this with your friends and family AND make sure you also vote for this commercial on YouTube.

It made me proud to be directly involved in agriculture and that my family has been all their life!
