When I was in high school, it was easy to impress me. It did not take much for a teacher, parent, sibling, friend or newsmaker to convince me about certain facts in the world. That was a long time ago but perhaps it is time to debunk a few facts that have changed or perhaps were never true in the first place. Let’s take a crack at three facts. This, by the way, is what I would say had some school asked me to give the commencement talk this year: 1) You were told your entire lives that America w...

So, I've decided to share a couple of recipes that shout SUMMER because of their use of fresh ingredients, including one of my favorites – corn. Speaking of which, if you haven't tried the fresh, shucked bi-color corn at the local market you have no idea what you are missing. And if you buy it fresh, make sure to keep i...

I’m sitting here at my desk watching the rain change over to snow on the 19th of May! There calling for 1-3 inches of snow overnight. It has already rained and snowed 5.2 inches of precipitation on our farm in May. The corn we planted 3 weeks ago has barely sprouted and laying in cold wet soil. I have no idea when we are going to get a break to plant the rest of our corn. Looks like it will be later than I’ve ever planted corn before. From what I understand the sugar beet farmers are very concer...
