Agriculture Isn't Just For Farmers

    Our friends at Monsanto Seed Company has provided us another video to enjoy. Many of my friends
believe that because I want to have a career in agriculture means I am going to farm. I don't know what I want to do. I have several majors in mind, but I know I want to be in agriculture. Animal science, agriculture communications, agriculture business; I feel like my desired major changes everyday! Enjoy the video below to see what careers are offered in the agriculture industry.

Amateur Ham Curer Over Here...

    Last year I added to my SAE (Supervised Agriculture Experience) and cure a ham. Well I wasn't able to start it myself, I had a basketball game that night. So my brother got my ham started. He cured a ham as a 4H project because he is in middle school. But this year I will be able to be apart of the project from start to finish.

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)!

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.
