I know you heard and seen it all, but we are offering "try it before you buy it" and I personally helped 25+ know farmers save .40¢ - .45¢ a gallon on fuel.

All you need is..

1) A open mind

2) A need or want to save on Fuel

3) Baseline data, if you don't know how much you use you won't know how much your saving.

We have farmers saving for the past 6-7 years, a 4 million dollar insurance…

I received a lot of attention and comments from my Rules of a Farm Wife (Spring Edition) blog post last week.  After My Farmer read it, he figured he needed to write one for all the farmers out there.  Just like the rules I wrote, these are meant to be fun and at the same time give helpful hints to have a happy spring or harvest.  These too can be used for both farmers and non-farmers.…

I can't believe that it is already Friday!  It has been a busy and fast week.  We got into the field on Monday night, had a little delay on Tuesday from rain, and have been going steady ever since Wednesday.  There is a slight chance of rain tonight, but we're hoping it misses us so we can finish planting our corn.  We are about 80% done planting corn and then we'll move onto planting soybeans.…

I thought about doing a blog for a couple years before I actually started.  One of the main reasons I thought about doing a blog was to share my thoughts and ideas on how to survive the planting and harvest seasons with other farm wives.  Today, I'm going to do just that.  I'm going to share five "rules" that I try to follow, especially during the planting season.  These are meant to be fun and at the same time give helpful hints to have a happy spring.

After being out of the field for almost a week due to rain and wet conditions in the field, we officially got back into the field last night!  My Farmer, LP and I did some spring tillage and I couldn't help but take some photos as the sun set on us.

The forecast looks good…

Anybody out there in the bussiness of finishing dairy bull calves? I picked up a few bull calves a few months back and have them on pasture now. My biggest question is does anybody have any suggestions on how to finish them out the most efficient way? Its been about 7 years since ive last messed with them but growing up it seemed we did pretty well with them. I only have 5 right now but am wanting to step it up here in the winter and look into getting about 15 to 20 head to finish for next…

This week we have been loading in and out several loads of hogs and trying to get some planting done between rains.  Due to the rain, we have only been able to be in the field two days this week.

One of my favorite hobbies and interests is cooking.  I know I've shared about cooking a little in my blog before and today my post will be about a recipe I created.  I produced my "Cardinal & Gold Cream Cheese Burger" by modifying and coupling a couple other of my burger recipes together.  I created the burger for a Pinterest contest for Iowa State Athletics.  There contest is called Cy's…

Most beginning farmers state this question incorrectly! "What products does the market want?" is a more appropriate form of this important question. All too often, farmers produce what they enjoy producing without sufficient consideration of market opportunities and market demand.

The "how to market" question breaks into several sets of decisions. One has to do with searching for marketable products, which drives many other farming considerations. You need to match up the product with…

Since spring field work is in full swing this week, I figured I'd start up my Farm Friday segment to give everyone an update on what we are doing on the farm.  I'm going to continue to give a Farm Friday update throughout the rest of the growing seasoning and one feature I'm going to do is show photos of the field around our acreage each week.  This will give everyone an idea on how the corn is progressing.…

Today is Earth Day.  For some this means they might clean up a ditch or plant a tree, but for me, it makes me think of all the things my family and I, as well as other farmers, do every day to keep my family, my community, and my environment healthy and strong everyday.

A guilty pleasure of mine is watching the Today Show in the morning and earlier this week there was a piece about a new children's book that will be released on April 24th called Vegan is Love.  The Today Show piece discussed the book's topics from animal testing to eating habits.  It also questioned "is a vegan diet healthy for children".  In the end the…
