Farming teaches you quickly that no two seasons are ever the same. One day the sun is shining, and the next you’re facing storms, heavy rain, hail, wind, and uncertainty. Weather is one of the few things in agriculture we can’t control, no matter how much planning and preparation goes into a crop year.
Storm damage is hard to see after putting in long hours planting, caring for crops, and doing everything you can to set yourself up for success. But that’s farming adapting, pushing forward, and doing the best you can with what you’re given.
Friday nights storm reminded us how unpredictable weather can be. we gambled and cut hay because there was a 45% chance of scattered showers. Well, those scattered showers came with hail. While we did have some damage, we’re incredibly thankful it wasn’t worse. Insurance claims have been filed and we will monitor the corn closely. Our hearts go out to the farms and families dealing with heavier losses.

Every other day, all year long, milk leaves the farm and begins its journey to your table. It doesn’t matter if it’s a holiday, weekend, snowstorm, or the middle of the night. Cows are milked and that milk needs to move.
That’s where our amazing milk haulers, Rick and Kraig at Howe's Milk Transfer come in.
These hardworking men are the important link between the farm and the processing plant, making sure fresh, high-quality milk gets where it needs to go safely and on time. Their dedication keeps the dairy supply chain moving and helps ensure families can find milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter on store shelves every single day.
A big thank you to the milk haulers who show up 365 days a year — rain, shine, or snow. Your work often happens behind the scenes, but it’s a huge part of getting wholesome dairy products from our farm to consumers’ homes. We appreciate you! 🐄🥛

It was a beautiful night on the farm.
