Who else hates January? 🙋‍♀️ I don't wan Who else hates January? 🙋‍♀️

I don't want to hate January. But there's a lot of reasons. The glittery and festive atmosphere of the holidays is packed away. We're in the middle of winter's icy grip. And everything is set back to zero and we have to reach all those same achievements we were celebrating just a few weeks ago.

This year I'm trying to reset my thinking. It's not starting from scratch, it's another opportunity to find success. Winter is a time to focus indoors and on the things that get missed when we're always outside. And while the festive spirit is fun, normal life can be fun too.

I'm trying. I'm really trying. 

Are there things you do to lift yourself up during January?

We are devastated. Two days after Christmas our s We are devastated.

Two days after Christmas our spray barn went up in flames. Our newest Case IH tractor (with all the precision ag gear, sensors and monitors), a spray tractor, a forklift, and all of our 2024 chemicals were inside. It's a total loss.

To say we're overwhelmed is an understatement.

That said, we're blessed that none of us were in the barn when it happened. We're fortunate that the fire didn't spread to the other barns, bins, or storage. This will be a financial hit, but it could have been so much worse.

We appreciate all the friends and family that have reached out. Right now the only thing we need is prayers. I'll share more when I can. 💜

Happy Thanksgiving! I realized this morning that Happy Thanksgiving!

I realized this morning that it's been 20 years since I performed in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. What a trip!

I hope you and yours have a lovely day! 🦃
