Today just so happens to be National Granola Bar Day! I make these bars at least once a week, so here is my simple recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Granola Bars! 

It is times like these when you feel very alive. There is a blast of air that hits you and tries to cut through you. There is ice that hits your face that you swear might scar.

By the end of a very long day of competition at West Holt High School, in Atkinson, I made sure to thank every volunteer I came into contact with. I can not imagine how hard it was for that community to host 16 other schools and put on a brave face with breaking inside of their own grief. This community won’t just be in my prayers with week, after what I witnessed yesterday, it will be etched in m...

And now you know another reason that I am so committed to this way of life. When I am out there chopping ice and scooping bunks, I am dreaming of the days where I can grab a package of beef sticks from a cow that lived a good life and enjoy a snack with my family!

The American dairy farmer is a resilient bunch! Those cows not only need fed daily, but they need to be milked twice and in some cases three times a day, every day, even on holidays!

The last couple of years I have become more intentional about what we eat and that does start at the grocery store. In an effort to suppress our sugar consumption, I simply do not buy commercial cereals or sugary breakfast foods.

It is no secret that a lot of trauma accidents happen here in rural America, so I think it is important to help play a part in balancing that reality. January is National Blood Donor Month!  

I think we can all thank the American dry edible bean farmers by enjoying in the fruits of their labor. So start that big pot of chili cooking and don’t forget to add the beans!

We are in that sort of sweet spot on the ranch, if you can call doing chores in the cold of January a sweet spot. The day is pretty predictable for the most part and there is a rhythm to it.

And may we all work towards peace on Earth and goodwill towards others. Happy New Year from all of us at Your Ag Network. 

So cheers to building stronger support systems. Cheers to supporting those loved ones around you. Cheers to letting go. Cheers to being brave. Cheers to 2025!  

Closing out the old year with a new recipe! Thanks for joining me today on Ranch Raised! 

We wish American agriculture a very prosperous and thriving new year, because we all depend on you.
