Have you fed your family today? If so, thank a farmer. This week is especially close to my heart because it is National Ag Week. This week is important because it is a fabulous time to thank farmers and ranchers for the hard work they and their families put into producing food. For farmers and ranchers, we use it as an opportunity to promote and educate what being in agriculture is all about.
With the beautiful spring weather being everyone is feeling extra motivated, making it the perfect week for Ag Week. Ears are extra perky and tails are held extra high! Everyone on the farm, livestock included, are excited to see the snow melt in the sun. However, with the melting snow and sunshine comes an unwelcome guest.
