For southern farmers, the phrase “El Niño Watch” is a major signal that the fundamental drivers behind our weather are shifting. El Niño is a climate pattern triggered by the warming of surface waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, which alters the path of the jet stream across North America. While El Niño’s effects are […]
Collection of Native American Artifacts
I have recently added some of my collection of Native American Artifacts for sale on the Cotton Exchange. I have my collection broken into two subcategories, individual pieces and groups (cache). This collection will soon be available online on my eBay channel and possibly other locations and auctions in the future. Disclaimer: All Native American […]
High Cotton Trading Cards Boxes & Hanger Packs
Okay, so this is a weekend project I’ve been working on in my spare time for the past few months. I’ve blogged about my massive sports card collection a few times in the past and one of my goals for 2026 is to start minimizing things while I’m still here so I don’t leave a […]
It’s a Really Dry Start to the Season…
One of the big perks of my day job at Farmers Business Network is that I get to talk to farmers from across the United States. This helps me keep my finger on the pulse of the industry so I kind of know what’s on everyone’s mind. As of today, I would have to say […]
Trading Card Grading Services
Back in my day there was no such thing as a grading service for trading cards. We simply eyeballed our cards and decided if they were in mint or very good condition, etc. I’m not complaining, I think it’s great that the hobby has became more sophisticated for serious collectors. I can see where this […]
Products Being Added…

This past weekend I spent a little time adding some individual coins and coin sets as well as some trading cards from my collection. In the coming days […]
Update on the “Cotton Exchange” Marketplace
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
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 […]
Online Marketplace Coming Soon!
I have been working w/ a handful of people recently to add an online marketplace to cotton.buzz. My goal is to have the “Cotton Exchange” up and running by this summer. This is an idea that I’ve played around with for a while but have only recently decided to dedicate the resources to make it […]
