HELLO FROM THE EDITORS

Life is precious. We are reminded of this throughout the year. Storms, unexpected accidents or even deaths and the birth of babies are all constant reminders of how special life truly is.

This summer as you are out and about, don’t forget about the blessing of life. It’s everywhere we look in agriculture. Crops grow, grass provides nutrients for cattle and calves thrive in outdoor conditions. Have you ever consider how cool our life is? This way of life we’ve chosen gives us a chance to do life with our families by our sides.

Raising children in agriculture could arguably be the most sought after way of life in today’s world. There are literally bloggers and famous Instagram mothers who promote homesteading – living off of what you can produce. We’ve been doing this for generations. When we are raising beef cattle, we are not only feeding the world around us but our own families as well.

When you think of the groups out there who promote disinformation regarding agriculture, it doesn’t take long down the rabbit hole to wonder how on earth they have come to the conclusions they do. We love our families, neighbors and friends, and we want them to consume only the best.

The same goes for nature – we want this land to last beyond our own lifetime. We are making decisions today to rotate, fence off water sources, grow certain grasses...the list goes on, so that our children can benefit. By doing things today, we are anticipating the next generation will thrive in this industry.

So many things around us exemplify the beauty of this world. I hope you see something today that moves you!
