This sweet pup now has a new home… and we learned lessons with Lola. Here is the story of how Lola survived after eating a small article of clothing (it was actually a pair of @lululemon underwear).
Lola the poodle had a rough start, and for a moment, we feared the worst. But now? She’s happy, healthy, and full of spunk! Read Lola’s incredible rescue story!

High oleic #soybeans are suitably grown in the Delta, but we do not have the same processing capacity as the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states. So, how does this technology (with non-GM traits developed in the Missouri Bootheel) take root in the Midsouth?
The high oleic soybean market is growing, offering big opportunities for farmers and various industries. Find out where they thrive and what it means for growers.

I am following and covering this story and can’t wait to share the details with all of our Farm Progress readers. To steal a line from the Senator, “we need more farm in the farm bill.” …but first, #WeNeedAFarmBill
Today, two Arkansas farmers & board members of ours will testify before Chairman @JohnBoozman & the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee (@SenateAgGOP @SenateAgDems) about the current state of the farm economy. An important conversation at a critical juncture. 🇺🇸

This man not only represents Arkansas, but he is passionate about our U.S. farmers. We are blessed to have him steering the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee. Here is what Sen. Boozman has to say about assuming leadership and what lies ahead for farm country. @JohnBoozman #FarmBill #AgX #USag
As the new Senate Ag Committee Chair, Sen. John Boozman is confident he can navigate the challenges of a new farm bill. Will his leadership bring the changes farmers need?

Tonight… I had a hankering for chicken livers. So I went to the local gas station. Me: “Can I get a half dozen chicken livers?” Cashier: “Gizzards or livers?” Me: (by mistake) “Lizards.” And now, I don’t know what I ate.

Doodle and Poodle pups in the Arkansas snow. I’ve nearly ran out of beach towels to take care of the snow apocalypse situation that they bring inside! 🐾 Oh, and my washer is froze up. Fun times.
