If you invented something, you might get a patent. That’s what Lizzie did, but she filed it in a day when very few women did so, and, what she filed a patent for ended up becoming something that you know very well… https://t.co/sRM6713JrJ

This place is one of a kind - and the story that brought it about is even better...

[American Countryside @ACountryside]

Jay’s father could have scolded him for what he’d unearthed. Most parents would say, “Put down that filthy thing!” His father didn’t do that though and because he didn’t, Jay went on to build a company and a museum...

Many towns have memorials to veterans. Take a close look at some of the trees and shrubs at this Missouri memorial though and you might uncover something that makes it unlike any other in the nation…

Is there a “best” time for cows to have a calf? That was the focus of some cattle producers who came together to discuss the pros and cons of #calving periods. What are the key questions you should be asking?

Greg Peterson, also known as @MachineryPete , is a regular guest on Farming the Countryside and we certainly have a strong market to discuss. How much of the price increase is being driven by the commodity markets versus the tightening of inventories?

I enjoy watching Shark Tank to hear some of the pitches made to the sharks. Our latest podcast features Lucinda Cramsey, CEO and head hen at Moink. Take a listen to discover the surprising life change her shark (investor) made after visiting her farm!

[Farming The Countryside @FarmTheCountry]

You may have seen her farm featured on TV’s “Shark Tank” where she made a successful pitch to one of the “Sharks” to invest in her operation. Learn how this farmer turned a small farm in Northeast Missouri into an enterprise. https://t.co/WDsjqnSr1n @Moinkbox

Some might say we're in the darkest days our country has seen since The Great Depression. Whether you agree or not, I think you'd agree we could all use a little hope... and that's what Ernie Pyle's mission was all about.

[American Countryside @ACountryside]

Ernie Pyle traveled the nation during the Great Depression era when most people didn't have the means to do so. His stories became a newspaper column read coast to coast.

The age old question... when to sell?

[Farming The Countryside @FarmTheCountry]

The last quarter of 2020 saw a significant #price gain for #grains. The situation provides opportunities for producers to make #profitable sales and lock in prices for the long term. So exactly when should you be selling and how much?
