The End of a Neponset Era

Many have said if you enjoy what you do you won’t have to work a day in your life. Today’s post comes from a story my brother Chris tweeted from home. Mike’s Barber Shop in Neponset is closing. Now this might not be changing the world or something that most of the world even knows [...]

Storms And Agriculture

Many know the importance of stocking up and being prepared. Tonight’s #agchat on Twitter approached the subject and tales came forth about entire herds of cattle lost. One farm lost all the cows at the farm – those taken to the fair were safe. It’s been six years since Katrina blew in and remnants of [...]

Hoop Barn Progress Continued

This is an interesting project that we’ve somewhat been doing in stages as far as updates go. When we started: Part two – we had to pull up some of these floor panels to return after I shot this – they were sent to us in error and had GPS tracking chips in them! We’re [...]

Although I’m a native of Illinois (which will always be ‘home’) we’ve been in Alabama for several years now, arriving as Hurricane Katrina approached Mississippi. I was headed [...]

Nashville, Agriculture and Social Media

These three things may seem to have little in common but after a whirlwind week it’s been a fun time. Presenting a basic blogging segment with Ryan Goodman and Katie Pinke was certainly a highlight and thanks to the AgChat Foundation for the opportunity to share with others. Catching up with friends was fun and [...]

Diva’s Domain August 2011

Many of our longer term readers remember Diva’s arrival here not that long ago. As she’s grown and has wormed her way in to daily life it seems that occasional posts about her are warranted. After all we’re not JUST poultry and rabbits! We have real lives and although we won’t deviate from sharing about [...]
