If by chance you missed...
Farm Side Fridays, they are absent because the paper took the column off the webpage. Guess you have to live locally and buy the paper if by chance you want to read it.
This is a small portion of the sugar bush on the farm from the photo the other day.
Liz and I are off to man the Farm Bureau booth at John Deere Days today. Come on down, enjoy a good time and stop by and visit...Sign up as a member of the organization that serves as the voice of agriculture, both in the state and nationally if you can. Among other benefits for your bucks you will get Grassroots, a newspaper which will keep you informed on important rural issues much sooner than the regular medai. Even if you are not a farmer your support helps efforts to inform both the public and our legislators about our industry. Have a great day!
PS, can't wait for tomorrow's Sunday Stills water...it was a fun one!
Farm Bureau does all my home and auto insurance. Nobody else would insure us when we built as we are no where near any fire dept. They are pretty decent folks overall.
1. They were getting a lot of traffic directly to Farm Side 2. so if people come to the Recorder because of it 3. we should take it off and make them buy the hard copy.
When are they gonna realize that the world is moving from paper to keyboard?
Aarghhh. Sorry, 3C, I won't be buying copies, just on principle.
FAIL! Yeah, like I'm gonna be buying a copy of the Recorder, considering that I live across half the country. They just lost a set of eyeballs, for what it's worth.
On the other hand, I can still read your musings here, which is a very good thing.
Bummer again. akaGaGa got that right. Look at newspapers and mags in every state going out of business plus the advent of the new Amazon.com gizmo, Kindle, which makes things all electronified instead of having a nice copy in your hands. Unfortunately, I live ALL the way across the country so I'm out.
I really enjoyed reading your blog. I used to live in Tennessee on a dairy farm. I don't live on a dairy farm now though or in Tennessee. I live in Indiana now close to a big city. I didn't realize how much I missed the farm and the cattlehttp://ghostingmiranda.blogspot.com

ReplyDeleteDani, thanks for your kind words. I am going to miss sharing them. It really kind of rejuvenated my writing when I knew my blog friends could read it
ReplyDeleteFC, we have their insurance too!
akagaga, I understand. I am disappointed by the change
JW, thanks
Jeffro, it means a lot to me that you read it, thanks
