It’s the clinking of glasses, the spread of amazing food, and the twinkling candle light nestled in nooks all over the warmly lit house. It can be one of the most magical times of the year. Last night we had the office Christmas party, here at my house. Unfortunately we didn’t have the entire Morning Ag Clips crew, but we had most! 8 out of the 11, not…
We thought it would be fun for you to hear more from the rest of us so we talked Kate into these takeovers! I get to go first because I HAVE to make amends for that terrible photo she shared of us getting those fabulous donuts in Vermont a few weeks ago! For the record, I was trying not to look down at the donuts while looking at…
Morning Ag Clips Mobile is finally here! It’s a busy world, and we know our readers want to keep up with the news with the push of a button. So download the app, and tap the MAC icon on your phone for the latest agriculture information! And here’s a very special thank you to our co-stars! Thank you, EVERYONE!

It’s so close we can taste it! The MAC App! It’s a heavy lift, and it has taken a lot of hands in and out of the pot–for this last push to get it done. Getting a project across the finish line is hard for the entire team–regardless of whether or not they are working directly on it. (You guys make the dream work!) It’s about picking up…
I fly at 10,000 feet. Where do you fly? Do you like looking out over everything, soaring above the details? Or does your eye go to the weeds, staring every single one straight in the eye, like a crop duster? I like to see far, into the distance, flying high above the clouds. Diving close to the earth makes me nervous; it’s not a natural place for me.…
Jeronimo! And thank you! I am sending out a big, heartfelt thank you, to all of those who helped with our Daily Dirt Campaign. It was a success! We generated enough money to keep on going. Design work is already underway, maybe an app launch by the end of the year? Fingers crossed, that’s what we are going to try for… but AFTER the launch of the Morning…
Last week I took a trip to Iowa to visit the Iowa Soybean Association. I introduced them to the concept of finding the best donut in Des Moines (Bethany and Lydia were very good sports), and they introduced me to 2 of their farmers and Iowa soybeans. The trip was about overseas markets and the economic environment here. We talked about fuel costs and fertilizer costs and the…
Dear Readers, I am excited, and nervous today. Today is the day. The day that we are launching our Daily Dirt campaign which will help to fund our newest endeavor, the Daily Dirt. “Can you dig it?” The Daily Dirt “seed” was planted 7 years ago, in a humble office on the Main Street of Greenwich. As an off-the-cuff comment, it came from Brittany about the need for…
We work with many boards of directors every day in our profession. I have seen great successes on boards, as well as great shortcomings. Some of this I have observed, some of this I have been a part of, as a board member myself through the years. I ponder, what goes into making a great board of directors? Why are some boards thriving while others struggle so? Clearly…
It’s here, it’s finally here! The Just Me, Kate website has arrived!! After months of designing, constructing, and tweaking it is ready. I am very excited! I am very nervous too! This is where I share with you what is going on with me and my family, fun stories, and things for you to think about. It’s personal, and it’s me. Yikes! I love to write and…
