The (very happy) farmer's wife
Wanted me to post this. (Let me know if the link doesn't work for you.)
The upshot is that the paper that runs the Farm Side did good at the New York State Associated Press awards.
The Venner Vox, a really cool blog that I miss every day, won a second place award, which is no surprise to me at least. It was always interesting and at times pretty highly charged.
The Sideline Guys won first place in their division, the niche website category.
And in the under 25000 circulation column category, the Farm Side came in third. I was pretty tickled.
Hearty congratulations to Charlie Kraebel and to the fellows who write the Sideline guys....

Congrats on the win! You always put such a human touch on farming and really show people just how hard it is. Thank God for farmers!!!
Well done, you!
Well this is great! I found a redorder and it was on the front page, with a nice little picture of you. Small reward for all your hard work. Love Mom & Dad
Way to go, Farmside! (And its knowledgeable and intrepid writers!)
Congratulations to you and your colleagues on the paper. I'm not surprised your column won recognition, to judge from the quality of wit, honesty, and intelligence evident in your blog. You make it real. Thanks for that.
So Wonderful!
SCMomma, thank you. It was a complete surprise to me.
Dickiebo, thank you sir
Mom and dad, thanks. Glad you found a paper. It is surprisingly hard to find the darned thing isn'tit? Love you, dotter
Joated, thanks kind sir!
WW, thank you and thank you for reading and commenting. The best part of blogging is talking to folks
Dani, a complete surprise to me. I was firmly warned when nominated that I didn't have a chance. lol
Oh Marianne! Congratulations! Delightful AND only the beginning.
Cathy, thank you. Getting the news was a bright spot in a truly awful day, thus all the sweeter.
Congratulations on your award.
I hope that some of the really outstanding writing from your blog also shows up in your column.
Your descriptions of the moon, fog, snow, and late night are all the stuff of great, great writing. The readers of your column should also be privileged to it.
Again, congratulations on your column award. There should also be an award for your beautiful descriptive writing!
Keith, thank you so much! The Farm Side is a lot like Northview, which really grew out of it. Maybe more on issues, but a lot of the same.
Congratulations! You deserve it :)
Thank you, Nita, it made me very happy.
YAY on your win! I love your blog and I'm sure your writing for the newspaper is just as warm and touching as your blog!
Linda
