It has definitely been awhile since I churned out a blog post. I really only write when I stumble across a subject that is motivating enough, and boy did I find one this weekend. So here is a bit of background. What has been happening more and more frequently is that marketing companies seem to think a great way to sell a food product is to make consumers afraid of the competition. Advertising media is produced containing information that sometimes is simply misleading and sometimes, blatant lies. This is called fear marketing and it has been on the rise in recent years. – Steven Novella Any ..read more

#OurFoodHasAStory Post 13 A Day In My Ranch Life (Adrienne Ivey)
Agriculture Today | a look at the ever changing face of agriculture

View from the Ranch Porch One of the most frequent questions I am asked as a rancheris, “What do you do in an average day?”. This is also the hardest question I am ever asked. You see, every day is sooooooo different for me! And I don’t just mean seasonally. Of course a normal day is different for every farmer in seeding vs harvest, or in calving vs weaning. But because I am the secondary rancher here, some days I do ranch work. Some days I am more of a stay at home mom. Some days Ifeel like I am a professional organizer of randomness. Any given day is atotal spin of the roulette wheel. So t ..read more
