Harvest is rolling along, and since a picture is worth a thousand words, I thought I’d let them do most of the talking. Harvest is such a great time of year…

Harvest is on! If you have been watching the colors of the landscape turn from green to gold, you may also be seeing some harvest activities happening in Boone County or whatever part of the world you are in. We have been anticipating a tough year, due to the excess amount of rain in […]

Many of you are familiar with the non-profit organization called AgriStewards that we started back in 2011. My 15-year old daughter, Riley and I went on an impromptu trip to Haiti this past week to help with some ag work that we have done in the past. The following is my journaling of the trip. […]

Hi Everyone! I usually like to keep these posts “farm-focused” to keep you up to date on farm happenings. This time I want to be a little selfish, sort of. Maybe I’m bragging a little, sort of. I hope though, that what you get out of this one is a little taste of how much […]

I always like to stay positive about farming, but I also want to give you a realistic picture of what we are dealing with this year. This has been a year like no other…I know, there are no “normal” years, but this one is pretty extreme. We got another .8 inches of rain at the […]

Today was a good day. This morning was a shop, trucking, and office morning. We had a great lunch with about 13 of our farmer friends at Parky’s in Lebanon. It was really nice to just enjoy each other and share thoughts and scriptures that encourage us as we face a tough year of farming. […]

Crop update- We continue to have an extremely wet year! The sump pump in my basement never worked as hard as it did last night. We lost another big hickory to high wind and got about 3.3 inches of rain to add to already-saturated soil. The soybeans look decent for having wet feet all year. […]

The GMO “Debate”

My whole life, I have been proud to be a farmer. There has always been something wholesome about the lifestyle. We work hard and we depend on the weather to make or break our success. We raise food, fiber, and fuel for people. We are stewards of our resources and we actually produce something from […]

Done! We are done planting (at least the first time)! We actually finished on Friday, the 29th of May. It seems much better to be done in May than June. We had a great run starting on Friday the 22nd and were able to plant straight through until the next Friday…what a difference a week […]
