And no, I’m not talking about a new tablet or a new phone. Although I did get the iPhone 5 recently, that’s not what I’m talking about. There are some really cool things available to farmers today. We are testing out one of those pieces right now. The brand is Lely and it is called Juno! This is a robotic feed pusher. The brand Lely is known for their milking robots but they make a lot of other robotic products for dairy farms. You can watch a series of videos showing what Juno does! Every hour Juno goes around our… Read More
Why I don’t Quit
I think in any career there are days where you wonder why you chose this job. Seriously, I feel like there are weeks where I must wonder that more than anyone I know. If you never feel like this, consider yourself lucky. I have gone weeks at a time where each day more and more went wrong. Let me tell you, those are hard weeks to get up and keep going. Not to mention keeping a positive outlook on life.

New Year, New Home
Well, we are 8 days into the new year and I still can’t remember to write 2013 on my checks. Maybe in two weeks I will have it. This is the time of the year for resolutions, we all think about them. We talk about them and then we fall off the wagon one at a time. I know, I know, I am such a romantic. Honestly, I’m not very disciplined so usually I don’t make one. But this year is different, I made a resolution and so far, I am doing well. Which is a miracle in itself! I decided to… Read More
