Years ago I thought it was necessary to welcome the new year with a celebration of some sort. At the very least, I thought one should stay up until midnight to usher in the new year.
If you’re wanting to adopt the latest in planter tech, you can easily shell out $350K for a new 24-row, central-fill machine with all the bells and whistles. But as the price of fresh paint keeps rising, more and more producers are keeping their older planters and opting to install retrofit …
As the end of the year approaches, we close the books on another production year. There are many lessons to be had this year, but none of them greater than “Cash Flow is King.”
If farm people think the holiday season is a good time to resolve intrafamily conflicts about farm estate matters, they probably are wrong. According to professional farm mediators, family get-togethers over the holidays generate more guardedness and stress among the disputants than warm fee…
The world’s most common expression of farewell, “goodbye,” originated in the 16th century as “God be with you.” Through a series of metamorphoses over the next two centuries, it became the contraction we use today — “goodbye.”
There was an old man who lived on a farm and had a loyal dog. After a busy Thanksgiving, the old man decided that he would go walking every morning in an effort to become more fit. His dog was always happy to accompany him, and they walked in the mornings before the sun came up.
I am not a big football fan, but on the rare occasions when I have visited a university stadium, I love the halftime performances by the college bands. In particular, I enjoy the sousaphones.
No wonder sales of utility vehicles have exploded in the post-pandemic years. No other product family sits so squarely at the intersection of fun and functionality. And along with the massive increase in ATVs and UTVs, there’s been a corresponding eruption in attachments and accessories.
This year is testing the endurance of nearly everyone in the U.S. and around much of the world. It’s still too soon to tell how the co-occurring crises in the Ukraine and Gaza will turn out, as well as how challenges to democracy in the U.S. and elsewhere, uncertainty due to climate change a…

Harvest is wrapping up throughout the upper Corn Belt, and producers are counting the bushels, blowing off the combine and happy to close the books on this growing season.
Saying “goodbye” to a loved one who is passing, or who is already deceased, is one of the most emotionally painful experiences we have to go through during our lifetimes. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. We can turn it into a personal growth experience.
