I've been an entrepreneur my entire life and have been blessed to have been associated with hundreds of startups and projects throughout my career. A few years ago I started offloading many of my business interests to spend more time w/ my family and retool my focus toward the agricultural industry, ultimately I landed at Farmers Business Network, Inc. w/ a great team of people w/ shared mission / vision and the rest is history! I still operate my personal website & blog occasionally on topics of interest to me including; parenting, agriculture, technology, and whatever else comes my direction! My blog, cotton.buzz, is the product of over 20yrs worth of content, photos, podcasts, videos, etc., and all of the content I produce is mine personally, and only represent my views and/or opinions on topics and do not represent any of the businesses or associations I'm affiliated with.

Okay, so I have set this blog post to publish at one minute after midnight on December 21st, which according to the Mayan calendar is supposedly when the world will end. Ironically, they picked my 40th birthday to be the end of the world, go figure. I guess if you are reading this, then… well, […]

I figured out a cool trick this evening that I thought I would share. Let’s say you have a shortcode that you would like to display inside of a wordpress text widget area, just locate your theme directory and edit your functions.php file to include the following: add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop'); add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Diabetes Picked the Wrong Guy!

December 10, 2012 by Cotton Rohrscheib 2 Comments

I’ve had a lot of people call, text, and email me this weekend to ask why I was suddenly off the radar and in the hospital last week. I figured it would be easier to blog everything once than it would be to respond to each and everyone separately, so here goes… I have secretly […]

I’m selling my Audi TT Roadster!!

A few months back I was faced with the reality that my two-seated, Audi TT Roadster Convertible, was no longer a practical automobile. I think it was probably that warning sticker on the side of the drivers door w/ a picture of an infant car seat w/ a red ghostbuster styled circle and cross-mark across […]
