2012 GCAMA Tractor Show
Last weekend was the Gibson County Antique Machinery Association‘s tractor show. Matt and I had a lot of fun, even if it was super hot all weekend. It usually rains on the weekend of the tractor show, so of course, the one year we need a good rain it doesn’t. At least the show went…
Read MoreSocial Media and Ag
Yesterday I participated in the #AgChat about Social Media in Agriculture. It was a super interesting 2 hours of conversation.

Last weekend was GCAMA’s Annual NATPA Pull. Wow! That’s a lot of acronyms – but it’s much faster than saying Gibson County Antique Machinery Association’s Annual National Antique Tractor Puller’s Association Pull.

Read MoreCountry Wining and Dining
This week, I’m taking a look at Chapter 6 of Farm Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of Country Life. Chapter 6 is all about Country Wining and Dining. Needless to say, I was super excited about this chapter because I love to cook myself (as long as I don’t have to clean up afterwards). …
