I feel like I’ve gone a million miles since my last column. Truth be told, I haven’t gone anywhere, I’ve just been “busy.” I just love that word. Busy. We’re all so busy. August was over before I even knew it, and where did September go? My garden was mildly neglected this year and my level of helping at the farm was diminished to about zero.
That’s just how it goes when you’re busy, though, right? But truthfully, a lot of people I meet really are working so hard to make ends meet. And I sure hope ends are meeting. There’s nothing worse than being loaded up with things to do, and yet feel like you’re spinning your wheels when it comes to just gettin’ stuff done. In this issue we've compiled some good information on marketing your livestock, selling or buying a farm and providing products our customers want. I sure hope these help in the ever-present attempt to have "ends meet."
Thanks for all your efforts to keep agriculture viable in Arkansas. Keep up the good work. There are lots of opportunities out there still, and I think it’s gonna be a great fall for the farmer. Here’s to healthy, hardy livestock and high markets.
God Bless,
