I have talked about my parents a lot in the past. But now, it’s my turn to be the proud older sister. Following in a similar path at Michigan State University is my younger brother Kevin. With all of my pride put aside he has been very successful at State. He is the president of the MSU Dairy Club, he has been chosen as the summer intern for Nestle-Gerber in Fremont and has found a great group of friends that support him.

The Many Jobs, The Many Passions, The Many Skills
Last week I passed along a tweet from an AgChat friend about the many hats a farmer wears. When I read her blog post I got inspired to write about this topic as well. From Jen Gillespie‘s Post entitled “A Farmer’s Many Hats” (click title to view the entire post) “Although the number and type of ‘hats’ each farmer wears is different, you can bet your bottom dollar that every farmer you know has a least a dozen or so he (or she) has to put on at some point in any given week.

Rising to the Challenge; Reaching the Summit
Many of you out there may think farmers rarely get off the farm other than to go pick up equipment they need in an emergency. Or to go to Church on Sunday. But I have 400 examples of how that doesn’t happen as much any more.
How Many is Too Many?
In the theme of this week’s posts about the history of cowboy boots and how much I love my cowboy boots I’m following it with my poll. I am working if I’m normal. In the sense of owning 4 pairs of cowboy boots. I’m wondering if I this is typical or am I a collector?
Hi Ho Silver!
