Your Ag Network

I love living in a land where the changing of the seasons can be experienced by all of my senses.

But, alas, all I hold now are the memories and the abundant remnants of our time spent together marked by a pantry full quart and pint mason jars brimming with fruits and vegetables to sustain my family. 

Growing up on a farm and ranch has many benefits for children, but farms can also be dangerous, too.

Take the time to identify risk areas on your operation, create a safety plan, and communicate to everyone on your team! You are all worth it! 

So let’s continue to work together to keep our communities safe, healthy, and injury free not just during National Farm Safety and Health Week, but all year long.   

I think that this topic is vital to those of us working in agriculture and even those who do not work in ag. Because as long as we are sharing the road together or you need to be fed, you are affected by this topic.

But, it sure put a smile on my face to see thousands of young people either stepping their toe in the water or fully immersing themselves into this ag experience! Well done, Husker Harvest Days and well done FFA nation!  

I mean, I don’t think I have ever even had a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I prefer cinnamon aroma to come wafting out of my oven instead of a candle and honestly, I look like lumber jack in flannel anyway, so I am completely failing at this fall thing.

We all LOVE having top notch activities to plug our kids in to. But, I am definitely noticing a drain on the volunteer pool. I think it is time to refresh that pool and make sure we can all say confidently we are giving back to the activities we love so much! 

There is a stirring of excitement in our house and I can’t wait to tell you all about it, today on Ranch Raised. 

Now it is time to do a reset around the house and settle in to our homeschool routine. I’ve got some peaches to can, some tomatoes to gather, and some sourdough to bake. How about you? What do you have going this week in your home?  

I want to hear from you! So tell me your favorite ways to preserve peaches on the Ranch Raised FB page! Share a recipe with me or just leave a comment! Happy preserving and have a great day! 

That was like a heart check moment for my daughter and I. Kids, take the time to be deeply grateful for all of the opportunities that you have been given whether it be in 4-H, athletics, the fine arts or whatever. And don’t forget to thank the people that make it all possible. 

I applaud you, I see you, I am always cheering for you! You do not need to have a ball in your hands to accomplish great things during your youth. You may just need to walk into a barn and follow your passion!

I’m going to wrap up by saying I am terrible at being the tooth fairy. If there was an EPD for it, I would admittedly be in the bottom 2% of the parent population. So, I will be over here celebrating National Dog Month instead.

The list of benefits to spending time with a dog goes on and on, but it all proves one thing––that a month-long celebration of our furry best friends has been a long time coming. Yes, August is National Dog Month! 

Throughout the years of traveling to stock shows and livestock events all over the country there has been an unexpected blessing. Drinking cups of every color and varies sizes that promote feed, pharmaceuticals, supplements, sheep and goat reproductive services, and even a variety of cattle ranches.

Thanks to some neighbors sharing their bounty of zucchini, we had a big baking weekend around here. We made a double batch of these Lemon Zucchini Muffins, and I just couldn’t wait to share the recipe with all of you!
