Next week is Senator Gary Peters’s #ridemi motorcycle tour & he’s making a stop in our county. So we’re working double time now to make time for a visit. #farmlife

We hosted Senator Gary Peters & three of his staff members today at my #family’s #farm. Thanks to other farmers and community members who made time to visit about important issues to our area. #farmlife #farmher #dirtroadparadise

A few hours into my farmwork, I realized I’m a walking advertisement for American Farm Bureau. If only all my animals would pay their own memberships... #farmbureauproud #farmher

Broccoli is man-made. 1000 years ago, broccoli, as we know it, did not exist. The mini-trees of today are the result of centuries of selective breeding of wild cabbages. And broccoli isn’t the only one. Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and kale were all bred from the wild cabbage.

Just listened to Dave Ramsey episode 9,995. I too am not a fan of car “fleeces,” but I’m an equal non-fan of hearing a sheep’s coat of wool being called “hair.” #finance #farmher

Wake up. Use mobile to check weather, social channels and morning headlines, email, texts, podcast episode updates, job & economic markets. If I was in the #nophoneforayear #contest I’d have fed the animals earlier & gotten more farmwork done!

A chance at the #nophoneforayear #contest would allow me more time in this tropical {citrus} environment. It would be a distraction-free, energy-filled year caring for our land and animals.

I’m a beginning farmer on a budget. The #nophoneforayear #contest would allow me time to: - dye wedding invitation envelopes instead of shopping for the vitaminwater® XXX açaí-blueberry-pomegranate shade. - shop for replacement tech-friendly gloves.

I am an animal person, but not a pet person. So I’m taking friendly advice to explicitly - and less expletively - explain to my fiancé’s dog that peeing inside is not acceptible. 🤬

What is your mental image of a #farmer? Is it a woman in a pencil skirt, ballet flats and a suit coat? What if I told you she parked in the big truck section at a farm meeting? #thanksdad #ramtrucks #glassceiling

A highlight of attending my local county fair last night was helping Jeff Dwyer with a solvable issue. This community supports people in the best ways!

It bothers me a lot when friends apologize for their baby fussing. Hey, that's how they communicate right now. To me it feels like they're apologizing for what their life is like & #parenting is inspiring however it's done. #youredoingfine #iloveyourbabyandyou

Omg. I am enormously disappointed I missed my chance to get my parents Antiques Roadshow tickets in #Michigan next month! Oh, to turn back the calendar... #missedopportunity #comebacksoon
