Last night the world learned about earworms. ABC broadcast The Year with Katie Couric. It was the typical hour-long laundry list of what’s old, new, borrowed and blue about the year 2012. But in the midst of the playback of the year’s most addictive songs and pop artists (Call Me Maybe, Gangnam Style, and One Direction), Katie mentioned a new word had been added to the dictionary to describe “a ...
What’s for Lunch?
Friday the USDA announced more meats and grains will be allowed in school lunches. That’s a whole blog within itself. So, let’s not talk so much about what’s on the plate, but what actually makes it in the mouths of our students. Have you enjoyed a lunch with your child in his/her school cafeteria?

I’ll give some of that credit to My ...

Particularly, when I see the benefits on our farm; when My Farmer can run the numbers showing reduced pesticide ...
