Yesterday Cedar Valley Inn called me because Adam had left his buckle in the hotel. It was so kind of them! We always try to stay there when we are at the Wilson County Fairgrounds. They are super friendly and have special agricultural rates. On Sunday after the show the boys were so hot and tired they needed to stay another night. A quick call and no problem. If you are ever in the area I cannot recommend them more!!

Leadership Monday

This week, we recognize Mollie Orshansky (1915–2006), an economist and researcher whose work transformed the way America understands hunger and poverty.

While serving with the Social Security Administration, Orshansky developed the official U.S. poverty measure, using the cost of a nutritionally adequate diet to help policymakers better understand family needs. Her research shaped nutrition policy and food assistance programs that continue to support millions of Americans today.

Her passion for the work came from personal experience. Growing up in a family of modest means, she understood the difficult choices many families face. Reflecting on those experiences, she once said:

"If I write about the poor, I don't need a good imagination—I have a good memory."

Her work reminds us that agriculture is about more than producing food. It is about helping ensure families have access to safe, nutritious meals while strengthening communities across our nation.

Leadership Lesson: Great leaders combine knowledge with compassion to create lasting change.

At Alpha Zeta, we celebrate leaders whose work has strengthened agriculture, improved lives, and inspired future generations to serve with purpose.
