Hands down, one of my favorite business trips of the year for Minnesota Turkey is my annual trek to Washington DC in July. My boss and I take a group of our leaders – mostly farmers and sometimes a student or two – to our nation’s capitol to participate in the National Turkey Federation Summer […] Read more…
It’s been too long since I’ve written about turkeys.

Some day. In the meantime, my farm blogger friend, Katie, from On the Banks of Squaw Creek, has […] Read more…
I’ve been ignoring you. I’m so, so sorry. I want to blog, I really do. I would blog every day if I didn’t have, well, a whole mountain of other responsibilities to take care of first.
