Hey @Walgreens - can we stop the practice of putting my debit card into an envelope and stapling it to my scripts? It’s unnecessary and 9 times out of 10 I forget and end up with my card still stapled to my scripts when I’m at the next store. #adhdproblems #firstworldproblems

@JenSchweigert @stacy_perez83 @FantasyInFrames @katpinke That’s awesome! I still commish a girls league in Heyworth. Fun times!

It’s good at the @ILStateFair. The Boss won Grand Champion popcorn. For those keeping track at home, that’s 6 out of the last 8 years. We have a happy farmer today. #popcorn #grandchampion #womeninag #statefair

Funny the things that will make us nostalgic. Love that this old Home Interiors painting hangs in my favorite little small town diner. How many of us grew up with this in our homes? #homeinteriors #flashback #nostalgia

And just like that she’s one step closer to her American Degree. I have loved watching this kids FFA journey. #ffa #americandegree @IllinoisFFA #proudmom

ADHD brain hack - I love podcasts but my mind tends to wander. I listen to them on 1.5x and trick my brain into processing. Now if I could do that in live meetings. #adhd #brainhacks

This is just heartbreaking. Prayers to all involved.

Massive pileup on I-55 south of Springfield, Illinois has closed the interstate for nearly 30 miles. Blowing dust off freshly plowed fields led to very low visibility

When people ask why I don’t take my kids to see the Easter Bunny…. That’s me and some character straight from Hell. #easterbunny #badbunny #nightmare #flashback #easter

@YieldmasterMan @RandyCr35795504 @DanAllred1 It’s a tough neighborhood!

Thanks to our friends at @ILSoybean for this great video from @ajmargenot further explaining the Illinois Centennial Soil Archive project. Is your field on the list to be resampled? You can check here: https://t.co/zaQd6MsqsH

Such a cool project. Is your farm on the list?

[Illinois NREC @IllinoisNrec]

Dating back to 1899, soil samples were collected and cataloged by the @UofIllinois. Now @ajmargenot and his team need your help locating those original sites to bring the soil sample history full circle. Learn more here: https://t.co/eUpCBhf1EV #soils #soilarchive #historyofsoil

Shouting out a Happy 50th Anniversary to these two lovebirds. Their love story is definitely my favorite. #highschoolsweethearts #goldenanniversary #50years

The IFCA convention always makes me nostalgic. I wish I could go back 26 years and tell 21 year old me, the intern, that I was about to embark on an amazing career and let her know how many great people she would meet and how many opportunities lie ahead. #throwback #careerpath

Question - if you purchase an item as part of a fundraising event, what is understanding of how soon the funds will be delivered to the intended beneficiary?

You know your farm kid picked the right school when this note comes out from her apartment complex. #farmkids #diesel #winter #collegethings

Other 7 year old girls want to be princesses, or superheroes, or maybe a witch. Not my kid. She chooses Edward Scissorhands. #Halloween2022 #costumes #cosplay
