We’re trying something new on the farm this summer! 🌸 Amidst the wheat and peas, we’ve planted a patch of bright, beautiful zinnias — and we’re opening it up for a casual u-cut flower experience. Come wander the rows, pick a few stems, and enjoy a peaceful moment in the field!

Fresh green pea harvest just started in the Walla Walla Valley!! The first fields look good despite experiencing 90-100-degree temperatures and minimal rain since planting on April 4. The later-planted fields that are in or close to blooming now will suffer more, causing the plants to stop flowering quicker than usual and move to finish pod fill.

Lakeside Foods will be harvesting the peas we checked in this field within the next day. After the combines shell the peas, they will be hauled to Lakeside Foods in Weston, Oregon, where they will be cleaned and flash frozen within hours. Then, hopefully, they’ll end up in your freezer.

On Sunday, we had a blast supporting a few young 4-H and FFA livestock producers in the Walla Walla Cattlemen's Youth Market Sale at the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days!!

It's amazing to see so many young leaders put in months of hard work to raise and care for these animals and then shine before the judge and crowds. The market auction is the culmination of these projects for the kids and can often be very bitter sweet.

Many thanks to the volunteers involved with organizing the entire week of events and competitions including the market class and showmanship judging. The market sale would not be possible without the generous financial support from businesses and individuals from all over - thank you for your support!

We couldn’t be more proud of Reagan Case as he nears the end of his studies in agriculture systems and agribusiness. Doug and Ginger, great work on raising this fine young man!

Yesterday, Reagan presented his capstone class presentation, and today he celebrates his 21st Birthday 🎉

Reagan has been in integral part of the farm team over the last few years driving combine, sprayer and doing some agronomy, all while he juggles school and life.

Congratulations, Reagan!

The combination of timely spring rains and mild temperatures has laid the foundation for an excellent crop of wheat, canola and green peas in the Walla Walla Valley. Feeling blessed!

Getting our on with some amazing speakers and industry leaders with ag producers from around the country at the Association of Agriculture Production Executives meeting! This session was with a panel of John Deere executives about their investments in precision agriculture technology. Get this…John Deere was the keynote speaker at CES this past year. They are leading, investing, and helping to tell our agriculture’s story. We got to test drive their new “See & Spray” sprayer last year - will post video next.
