If the recent diplomatic meeting between China and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is any indication of what to expect over the next four years, well, its gonna be....problematic.
Our annual Salute to Agriculture (or, as is the case this year, the combined Salute to Ag/Dairy which appears in this edition) is always a meaningful endeavor for me.
Mother Nature is looking to be busy over the next couple months here in my corner of Tennessee. And while back home everyone is preparing for another summer of water shortages and drought, we’ve had a different sort of water problem around here lately.

One of the things to filter through my self-mandated social media detox since Thanksgiving was President Trump naming Christmas Eve a federal holiday.
