Letter to Fred Meyer on non-GMO Labeling

For those of you who were wondering what the letter to Fred Meyer that a few of us farmers sent, here it is…

  
  
I want to show here that we really want our local grocers to be a part of the conversation when it comes to food and truth in advertising. I hope that we hear from Fred Meyer at some point to hear what their thoughts are on this important role they have to play. 

 For a little more background on this issue please read my post “What crops are GMO’s?” And another update from Oregon Farm Bureau, “Farmers take on Fred Meyer for Misleading GMO Advertising.”

Crap on the Farm, Literally!

I love that I get to farm outside many days out of the year! The feeling of pulling into a field to fertilize an open station tractor, on a nice sunny day, it just never gets old. But then there’s the day when you pull into the field and you feel a bit of a sprinkle.  

 So you look up only to realize that that nice refreshing sprinkle on a hot sunny day is coming from a big gun, that’s shooting green!! For you city folks, that means it’s shooting manure.  

Yes I got the field done, because sometimes life on a farm isn’t all sunny days, sometimes it comes with a lot of crap! Happy Friday everyone hope your’s isn’t too “crappy” (sorry couldn’t resist!) 

Lucky to be a Farmer & a Mom

I’m feeling pretty lucky today. I took a few photos while I was out fertilizing our wheat.  

    
I quickly realized how lucky I am to have this be my view many days of the year! 

And I also scrolled on this photo taken on Mother’s Day, another reason I’m feeling lucky today!
