Warning: AgNerd post alert … no turkey recipe, no cute pug picture. Just me, getting all AgNerdy on you. Can you handle it? Whenever I sit in on AgChat Foundation’s weekly Tweetchat (most Tuesday nights at 7 pm central time; follow #agchat on Twitter), I always get energized. There is something about this community of […] Read more…
Multiples in the Pantry – Good, Bad or Just Plain Funny?
In case you didn’t notice, I was a little amped up in my last post. Tonight, though, I’m relaxing and taking a break from being in full “AgNerd” mode. It’s Sunday and I’ve just spent the past couple of hours watching the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers lose to Florida in the NCAA men’s basketball […] Read more…
I am Ag Proud!
Tomorrow is National Agriculture Day, a special designation that has been around since 1973. I remember when I first started working for the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, I would see a press kit and maybe a fancy poster come through my desk (via snail mail!) – both highlighting why National Ag Day is important.

It’s a quiet night at home – my 9-year-old is playing with his new Angry Birds game (a recent birthday gift) and Teacher Man has conferences tonight at school so he won’t be home until later. I was super productive when I got home – made dinner, baked a batch of Joe’s […] Read more…
Here's to a Vacation Day!
I read an article today in the Twin Cities Star Tribune about how Americans don’t take all of their vacation days either because of a lack of time or a lack of money – or both, I am sure. This isn’t exactly news – I think most of us have heard this before, and it’s […] Read more…
Whose Truth Is It?
Social media is an amazing thing – a fantastic way for organizations like mine (see Minnesota Turkey Growers Association and the Chicken and Egg Association of Minnesota) to bring consumers closer to their food and to the farmers who raise their food. But it can also get me all worked up sometimes, even when I’m […] Read more…
