What Is Ag Day All About? (from the agday.org website)
Ag Day is about recognizing - and celebrating - the contribution of agriculture in our everyday lives. The National Ag Day program encourages every American to:
- Understand how food and fiber products are produced.
- Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
- Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
My Man and I contribute just a tiny bit to the agriculture industry, but we are proud to produce a quality product so you can have good, safe food on your table!
We do a lot of this...

| (200 tons) |
What alfalfa we grow that isn't good enough for dairy cows, we feed to our own cows to raise a few of these...

Beef - That's what's for dinner!
Just think of all of the food products that are available to you in one place...at your local grocery store...those products didn't get there by chance or by magic. A lot of sweat, joy, heartbreak and tears goes into each of those products by farmers and ranchers all across our nation...and the world.
You gotta watch Ranching Awesome!!
And you can't forget Farmer Style!!
Say THANK YOU to a farmer or rancher today...celebrate with us National Agriculture Day!
YAY!!! PARTY ON!!!
ReplyDeletewe are still getting snow here in the high country, but we'll take moisture anyway we can after the fire and drought last year!
We got more of the white stuff here in CT last night and chilly temps will continue...but it sure is nice to see sunshine at your place!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteYou and they, have made my day! Loved the vids!
ReplyDeleteLove Early girl ~ adorable and lovely photography of your hard working world ~ Bravo to you all. Enjoy ^_^
ReplyDeleteWithout you and the work you do, there would be no us.
ReplyDeleteThank you
Fantastic photos! Thanks for working so hard!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics. It still amazes me that people still don't know where their food comes from. And that farmers and ranchers are the best stewards of the land. They do not understand that if we don't take great care of our land, then we have no product to sell.
ReplyDeleteA big thank you to you guys for all you do! Those videos are GREAT!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the calf. Looks like she is flying.
ReplyDeleteGreat post about what you do! Thanks! I love that Tillamook Cheese, it is on my grocery list every week..smoked cheddar is our favorite:)
