A couple of years ago my mom turned me onto the “sugar kiss” and “honey kiss” melons that would occasionally show up in our local wal-mart and sams club produce sections. These melons strongly resemble a canteloupe –however, they are 10x sweeter than you can imagine and their texture is completely different. I sat down […]

Hurricanes and Financing for 2025
This is a copy of The Cotton Club Newsletter that went out to 30,000 growers across the mid-south on September 10, 2024. I know that this tropical storm is top of mind for everyone in the mid-south right now as they are trying to get their crops out before the rain and wind gets here. […]
You Should Always Want to be the Adversary
It’s unfortunate that some people struggle because they can’t let things go and continue to carry anger and resentment. The truth is that they’ve probably never experienced true peace before, and that’s the really sad part. This is why that when they are presented an opportunity by their adversary to have closure in a situation they fail to realize the importance of that moment. Even when faced w/ continued anxiety and emotional toll, they are unable to accept an alternative of peace.
Uncomfortable Lessons to Learn
I ran across this motivational meme the other day and thought it was really good information. In fact, I printed it out and put it on my personal corner of my office whiteboard so I could reflect upon it a couple of times a day.
Navigating the Seasons of Life
As we go through life we go from season to season. These seasons are not like what you think in the traditional sense, they are just encapsulated periods of time where you have a specific circle of friends, live in a different city or have a career in a particular industry for a period of time, etc. Some seasons are definitely better than others. Enjoy the good ones… hurry through the bad ones…
The Importance of a Support System: Why We All Need People in Our Corners
Having a close-knit group of supporters provides comfort and empowerment in tough times. We often take this support for granted until we find ourselves alone, realizing too late the importance of these relationships. Everyone, regardless of who they are, needs people standing in their corner.
FBN Discounts & Programs for 2024 Season
I’m on the road this week in Mississippi and Alabama meeting w/ our field team and calling on a few growers as planting season is starting to ramp up in the mid-south. For those that have asked, I’m seeing a decrease in Corn acres and an increase in Rice acreage so far –but as you […]
It’s been a busy week at FBN
Our team at FBN is spread out across the country bright and early this morning helping growers book their crop inputs, making deliveries, and attending trade shows. Today will be extremely busy for everyone because it’s the last day for growers to lockdown 0% financing for the entire season. The past few days have been […]
Dicamba ban… what happens now?
I share some links that reference the recent ban of dicamba based products by an Arizona federal judge and discuss alternative products like Glufosinate as well as what I’m seeing on the ground working w/ growers in the mid-south.
Memories: 1992 Pinewood Derby
My dad had the ability to take a look at something and immediately figure out how it worked and could usually repair it even if he’d never seen it before. I was just telling mom that I don’t think I ever bragged on him or gave him enough credit for this while he was alive. […]
