A shout out to my creative husband, @BrianBillick, last year he made a 9 foot star and figured out how to hang it on our 80 foot silo. This year he made it a Christmas tree! 🎄

[Carmen Billick @CarmenBillick]

Grateful for my dad. He continues to push himself after he gave us the biggest scare back in 2018 (serious farm accident). Here's to another year working together @BRohwer ! #plant21 complete

Winter break fun

[Carmen Billick @CarmenBillick]

Slide, snow make for a little sledding fun. Kids are liking the playset in winter too!

@isufarmer Smart Santa!

[Carmen Billick @CarmenBillick]

Captured Santa/reindeer fly over our home right after finishing Twas the Night Before Christmas. 1 out of 3 kids raced to bed! Youngest quickly fell asleep, middle kid had a few additional comments this year. Oldest just smiled and went to sleep🎅🎄 Favorite tradition❤

[Carmen Billick @CarmenBillick]

Kids suggested we should decorate outside at grandma and grandpa's house to help spread some extra cheer. So I snuck a little tree top of grain bin and lights on the stairs without getting caught. 😊 They were happily surprised! 🎄❤

@leng3375 Thank you! Brian worked really hard on it!

[Carmen Billick @CarmenBillick]

Star is in place on the old silo 🎄♥️

@NieuwenhuisSeed @CSnieds More than likely lines at ethanol plant (which has best current bid) that slowed down the the truck which made the grain cart operator in bad standing.... just saying.

[Carmen Billick @CarmenBillick]

Looking through photos I found something my kids had captured. Totally random photo. I love these from kiddos.

Finding an odd photo of Woody from Toy Story on my phone is just a reminder that they're still kids, even though they're growing up.

Parenting is the best job ever!!!

Proud to announce our new partnership with the head coaches for @CycloneFB @HawkeyeFootball @UNIFootball @DrakeBulldogsFB. Each coach has taped video messages encouraging Iowans to #RegisterToVote and #BeAVoter. Digital ads will also share the message ahead of the 2020 election.

[Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate @IowaSOS]

“The electoral process is the most essential aspect of our democracy. I urge every Iowan to vote, whether by absentee ballot or in person. Start by registering to vote today and be ready to make an impact on November 3.” -UNI Panther Football Coach Mark Farley #Panthers #BeAVoter

[Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate @IowaSOS]

Official State of Iowa Absentee Ballot Request forms are on the way to Iowa voters. If you subscribe to Informed Delivery through @USPS, look for this graphic and tap/click it to ensure that you’re Voter Ready. #BeAVoter

[Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate @IowaSOS]

Iowans have options about how to cast their ballot: absentee by mail, absentee in person or at the polls on Election Day.

Included in the Absentee Request Form packet mailed by my office, this guide gives deadlines & info about how to #BeAVoter in whichever method you choose.

@NieuwenhuisSeed I've heard ugly reports from local silage cutters on yield reports.
So hard to watch a beautiful crop burn up due to lack of rain!
