Dairy Farmer's Thankful Thursday

Happy National Agriculture Day!

March 14,2019

Arkansas Governor Hutchinson proclaimed Arkansas Agriculture Week and

Farmers Day at the Legislature on Tuesday.

I felt honored to stand with farmers from across Arkansas to celebrate 

Arkansas agriculture. 

It was also our opportunity to speak with our legislators on issues that impact

our family farms and the agriculture industry.

I'm thankful for my farmer friends and the

organization of Arkansas Farm Bureau

that strive everyday to advocate for agriculture

                                                                 
                                                                              and
                                                         protect our farm family values.

Dairymom's Thankful Thursday

It's been a week of celebrations for us down on the dairy farm.

Monday we celebrated  my sweet Mother's 87th birthday.

Tuesday we celebrated National Ag Day 

 with the birth of several calves

 and the arrival of spring in Northwest Arkansas.

                               
                                 I'm thankful for the special days of celebration that allow us to
                                    pause from our daily routine and realize the blessings that we
                                                           often take for granted.

Happy Agriculture Day

                                                      Happy National Agriculture Day
                                                                            from
                                                      down on the Arkansas dairy farm!

                     Today is an  opportunity as farmers to share how we are working everyday
                              to produce safe affordable food for consumers and celebrate
                                                all that agriculture provides to each of us.

                                            Thanks to proven science and technology,
                                we are producing a gallon of milk using 95 percent less land and
                                     65 percent less water while  producing 76 percent less
                                                         manure compared with 1944.

                                             Do you know what hasn't changed since 1944?

                                                 
                                 Farmers still care  for our animals and the land we call home
                                                  and are committed to providing you
                                             with safe,high-quality milk and dairy products.

                                                   Happy National Ag Day!
