Updating the wisdom of the ages
It’s a new world. Isn’t it time we update the old adages we used to live by. Early birds don’t even want worms anymore. A penny saved might be a penny earned, but it won’t buy you squat. And if it ain’t broke, we don’t fix it anyway; we redesign it. And the old one, which was perfectly fine, becomes obsolete and starts taking up valuable space in the landfill.
It’s a small world in agriculture
The agriculture industry is a small world. It doesn’t always feel that way when you’re in the middle of wheat harvest or out checking calves on a quiet evening, but time and again, I am reminded of how tightly connected this industry really is.

Modeling lives of service
A milestone birthday earlier this month got me thinking about my parents and what their lives looked like at my age, which is vastly different from my life. In reflecting on the differences, it was really to see how my parents’ choices in their 20s and 30s have had a foundational impact on who I am and what my life is like today.
