It was 10 years ago this month that I jumped onto a plane and flew out to Sioux Falls to meet w/ a handful of guys that were working on a really cool startup project. I had just did a TEDx talk on “Biting the Hand that Feeds Us” relating to the struggles faced by […]

My Review of Monarch Accounting
I’ve recently taken over managing our household finances from my wife following her accident in January. Over the years I’ve used multiple backend accounting applications from the days of Peachtree to Quickbooks as well as newer enterprise and small business solutions like Netsuite and Freshbooks. I’m not going to lie either, I was a little […]
Donna’s Accident & Road to Recovery
The past two weeks have been a complete blur… Trust me, I’m not complaining but last night was the first time I’ve been able to lay flat to sleep since this all happened. On the upside, I have learned how to sleep in a chair. I know that everyone has probably been following along on […]
Tips & Preventative Maintenance to Help You Survive the Big Freeze this Weekend in the Mississippi Delta
I was actually working on a checklist of things to do in preparation for the winter storm we have coming in this weekend when I noticed one of my co-workers shared a document in our slack channel that was much more comprehensive than my list, so I’m stealing his… credit goes to Will Scott.

I would honestly print this list out and […]

Lessons Learned on Giving from my Mom & Dog
This morning I was drinking my coffee and going over my calendar for the week and kept being interrupted by my best girl Harley laying beside me snoring in the most rhythmic pattern you’ve ever heard, it was almost like Nate Dog & Warren G out regulating… she’s laying there taking up more than her […]
Making Memories & Looking Ahead
I sent this out to my farmers that are subscribed to my Cotton Club Newsletter this morning and wanted to share it here as well. It kind of summarizes how our family choses to celebrate Christmas moving forward. It was during Christmas break two years ago that I was on the phone w/ my dad […]
Real Talk about Mental Health and Agriculture
Everyone Depends on the Farmer No one understands the pressure that farmers are under unless they’ve walked a mile in their shoes. I was telling someone the other day how rural communities are completely dependent on the success of agriculture, it’s always been that way. If farmers have a good year everyone else does too, […]
What we all need in Dark Times…
Even though we differ in several ways I have always somehow felt a connection to Hemingway, not as a writer, but as a person. I do know he dealth with some dark times and depression (and without the help of modern medicine I might add). For some reason the algorithms keep pulling up quotes by […]
