[Chorus – big final singalong] We were singin’ bye, bye Miss Soybean July Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee ran dry Them good ol’ boys drinkin’ Busch Light and rye Singin’ this’ll be the year that we cry This’ll be the year that we cry

College student stopped me after church this morning... He graduates this spring & will be returning to the family farm in SW Minnesota. Corn | SB | Hogs His concern is the operation being on the bubble for big enough to absorb a second family. So he asked for some ideas of unique enterprises he could expand the farm into to help justify his moving back home. I told him I'd ask the wide, wise world of #agX So, what are some unique things you all do on your farms that don't follow the norm? In other words, besides expanding corn, beans, and hogs... what crazy ideas do you have for this young gent? As always, I appreciate [almost] all your insights & comments!
