Thank a Farmer!

    Today is the second snow day for me this week, and probably not the last! So while I am sitting around trying to keep myself occupied, I have an announcement! This fine blizzard of week  is 'Thank a Farmer Week'. Go out into the weather and thank your friendly neighborhood farmer!  I am sure they would appreciate it (bringing a cup of hot coffee wouldn't hurt either)!

Generations of Progress and Promise-- The Governor's Conference on Agriculture

    My MAbA experience was resumed Saturday. I was able to attend the Governor's Conference of Agriculture at Crown Center in Kansas City. This event is held ever other year. The theme for the conference was Generations of Progress and Promise.

Food for Thought

    I had found this video and I wanted you guys to see it.  This video "Food for Thought" provides with a lot of information about America's agriculture industry.

When Is It Too Cold To Work?

    When is it too cold to work outside? Maybe 30 degrees Fahrenheit? It was 30 today and it felt warm! I really don't like cold weather, I would much rather deal with the heat than see how many foot and hand warmers I can stuff in my shoes and gloves.

A New Year to Look Forward to!

    I know I am a little late at getting to this but Happy New Year! I probably wouldn't have been able to get this written if we had school today (I will be able to write more often because of snow days!) This last week has flown by for me, I went to the Missouri Cattlemen's Association Convention down at Tan-Tar-A Resort in the Ozarks.

Weaning Calves and Giving Thanks!

    November has gone by for me! Though it is safe to say that I was busy for most of the month. I focused the first two weeks on preparing for an FFA speech contest. I got second at districts and I'm the alternate for the state speech competition. I have also been working on an essay contest, which I am still in the process of putting the finishing touches to it. Throughout it all I had school work to tackle, taking four weighted courses may not have been my smartest move!

Ignite FFA

    Last week had some first times for me. First time I went to Louisville, Kentucky, first time I went to Churchill Downs and the Louisville Slugger Museum, and the first time I went to the National FFA Convention.
