It’s winter and there aren’t any crops in the field. What does a row crop farmer do all winter? Go hunting? Stay home with family? Travel to warmer destinations? Well all those sound great –but unfortunately there is a huge amount of work to do in the winter months to prepare for spring!

That day when you watch yourself on national television!  WOW!

As I sit at my desk waiting on the combines to begin to roll for the day I Googled Labor Day and its meaning.

We planted the seeds in the spring and cared for them all summer. The past few weeks I have prepared the office and the grain bin complex for incoming grain.

Farmers are very independent. Good thing I chose this profession because I am an extremely independent person.

It is a gorgeous Sunday morning here in Arkansas! We have had a very hot and humid week and a storm blew through last night with cooler temperatures and a nice north wind blowing.

We finished up planting all of our rice just as it has stopped raining in our area. There have been few scattered showers but nothing to speak of on our farm.

Planting is still in full force with our tractors scattered all over the farm. Our heavy clay good rice soils dried out and we finished planting our rice today!

Today is a gorgeous day here in northeast Arkansas. Everywhere I travel around the farm we have tractors rolling and so do all of our neighbors. It is an exhilarating sight!

When it comes to cooking rice the first thing you must ask yourself is what kind do you want? There are so many different types of rice.

Do you have a favorite quote? I have many and I hear new ones all the time that motivate and inspire me.
