And this week it looks more like this…

So needless to say we are not outside farming today.  We are staying warm inside like most of the country it sounds like.  Stay warm everyone!!

What do you do during freezing days like this??

The PowerPoint Slide…

The PowerPoint slide doesn’t say, “just go out and spray chemicals to take care of the problem!”

I saw this slide during a presentation from Oregon State University at this years Seed Growers League and just thought it was so interesting because I get so many questions about why we spray “so much”.
So here is a bit of reality about what we are taught, what tools we use, and how yes, we continue to strive to be true stewards of the land.

Another Blog…More Farm Stories

Well call me crazy, but I have started another blog.  I was asked a few months back if I would be willing to write for Agriculture.com on their Women in Ag section.  After rolling it around for awhile, and figuring out if I could fit yet another writing assignment into my schedule I kept coming back to how exciting it was to have someone want you to tell your story on their site!  So after a week of hmm-ing and haa-ing, I decided that yes, I could do this.

So I’m excited to say that for the last month I’ve been writing on their website.  I have my own page on there, you can access it by clicking on this link: http://community.agriculture.com/t5/Women-in-Ag-Brenda-Frketich/bg-p/brendafrketich

Agriculture.com Blog

I post once a week and while it will still be a blog talking about this farm, I will usually be covering different issues and stories each week.  I hope you get some time to check it out and let me know what you think!  Thank you for all your support with NuttyGrass and keep on coming back to read.  Like I said…I do love sharing my farmer’s point of view!
