Getting Soil Ready for Raised Beds

by Leave a Comment

I’ve had a lot of people reach out to me for advice on what they should use to fill their raised beds. I’ve used different techniques over the years but this is pretty much my standard plan moving forward based on everything that I’ve learned through the years… Raised beds can make epic harvests… but […]

Update on the “Cotton Exchange” Marketplace

by Leave a Comment

I have recently brought on a team to help assist in the development of the “Cotton Exchange” marketplace. I had underestimated how much I had forgotten about building things for the web over the last decade or so… plus, I just don’t have the time. The end result will be really nice though. Here are […]

My Review of Monarch Accounting

by Leave a Comment

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.

Well, guess […]

Donna’s Accident & Road to Recovery

by 2 Comments

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 […]

Now in its seventh year, FARMER2FARMER is back and better than ever. This is a huge event in the ag industry. I can promise you that it’s on a stage all by itself, just ask anyone that’s ever attended. Omaha is such a great town to host an event like this too, I’ve always had […]
