The first man to storm Omaha Beach on D-Day was a bull riding cowboy from Oklahoma. We will honor this 98 year old living legend in Tulsa on Saturday night. A TRULY incredible story for a REAL hero. Feel free to share. Because we must never forget. wranglernetwork.com/news/the-bull-…

Only beef born, raised and processed in the United States should receive the “Product of USA” label. It’s time to protect consumers and producers.

It’s not just Canada…. This speaks to the cow-calf industry everywhere. There’s some significant winds of change coming but I’m not sure which way they’re blowing. I’ve been saying for a few years there aren’t gonna be any cows left before long.

local independent implement dealer I deal with just called to wish me a merry Christmas. I’m not a big customer but have bought a handful of pieces off of them and a lot of parts, people like me don’t get that kind of attention usually. Thankful to have that relationship.

Those of you that farmed thru the tough years, what advice would you give to younger farmers witnessing this for the first time? What did you do different. What got you thru it? What would you do different? Please re-tweet. I really want to see a broad number of responses.

Dick Johnson on the left owns Johnson Oil. He is our farms "fuel guy". He was the 1st to allow me to merchandise in his gas station in my small town. 6 others followed. I may miss this the most. Between the small town gas stations, afm and fundraisers we made fresh steaks,

What’s the economic impact on a community from a calf? Raised, bought and backgrounded, sold at sale barn, Finished…. Many variables i understand. Now what’s economic impact of a community from an acre of soybeans ?

It’s not ranchers’ responsibility to go broke so you can eat healthy It’s your responsibility to not buy junk food and expensive crap, forego the luxuries, and spend your grocery bill on quality basics if you’re on a budget I said what I said

Lot of talk about government involvement in beef industry lately Things that make sense to me 1 grazing crp 2 grants or assistance on fence and water for farm ground going back to pasture If u want to make America great again the kids need chores

So much nostalgia and emotion that it isn’t popular to lay out…..the definition of a farmer by USDA standards is too broad, and should be cut at the bottom and the top. We used environmental regulations and marketing agreements to take livestock off the farm in turn weakening

Small towns don’t fall apart all at once. It’s one auction, one retirement, one empty building at a time. How do we reverse this trend? Is that even possible?

Many do not realize how many farmsteads have been lost over the last 70 years in the Midwest. To determine the change, I mapped out the locations of farmsteads that existed in the 1950's for my SC IA township using the Iowa Geographic Map Server. ortho.gis.iastate.edu (1/5)
