Hi, I'm Amanda! My family farms corn and soybeans in Southwest Michigan. I'm also a practicing attorney.
There are lots of drinking games associated with political events: election night, State of the Union, and presidential debates. Most will get you totally trashed. But here’s one that probably won’t.
Sadly, agriculture doesn’t get too much attention during these debates. Yes, I realize there are plenty of other important topics and issues. But I thought it was at least funny.
Will you tune in tonight? I’ll be watching purely for the entertainment value.

Given the recent SCOTUS appointments, it was hard to anticipate how it would rule on the challenge to California's Prop 12.
I could not bear to watch. So, did anyone go to bed tipsy? Or even a bit relaxed?
President Trump said “cows.” I figured that was close enough. But the debate was so awful to watch, one needed alcohol to just survive it.
Hello Amanda!
Want you to know that I bough a “Farmer’s Daughter Strong” sweatshirt and wear it proudly. I hope the money from these sales is giving you the boost you need financially. My dad grew up on a farm in SW Minnesota near Windom (but he left the farm as soon as he could). I think I was wearing my sweatshirt Tuesday night as I watched ALL 90 MINUTES of that bunch of baloney. I’m sure the shirt helped shield me from harm. Wishing you the very, very best!
Thanks so much for the support! It does make a difference and I’m absolutely sure it protected you during the debate! LOL
