Spicy Asian Meatballs With Roasted Vegetables
I’ve never been much of a meatball person. What a way to start off a recipe on meatballs?! I should start a blog… 😉 Anyways, hear me out. I never liked meatballs much until this restaurant in Omaha opened called, ‘The Meatball’. It was there that I realized meatballs didn’t have to be boring and…
Why should you be tracking cash bids?
I’m forgetful. There, I said it. I’ll own up to it… And now the Farm Guy Next Door just heard (read) me admit it. I have to write things down or else it’s like they disappear into thin air and are never found again. (i.e. some things the Farm Guy Next Door tells me and…
A happy hour coming to a couch near you!
I’m not sure I can properly articulate to you how much I love happy hours. First off, I love deals. Happy hours were made for my deal loving heart. Second, happy hours are the perfect pick-me-up when you just need to chat through things with your people. If you like happy hour as much as…

Moisture Discounts – How to Calculate & Compare
I can still remember the day Dan asked me to compare discount schedules during harvest a few years back to see which grain buyer we should deliver to. I’d just started working for a large grain company, but I still had very little experience with discount schedules and still wasn’t comfortable reading them. So, you…
Chicken, Black Bean, & Corn Enchilada Casserole
Two things I dislike about making enchiladas: One: Having to spend time prepping the meat and dirtying more dishes. Two: Rolling each enchilada individually, then trying to dish them out once they’re cooked and failing, causing the insides to fall out. Lucky for me (and you!), this recipe solves both of those problems. The meat…

We all need a little help during harvest. Whether you’re basically a ‘seasonal single parent’ trying to swing bringing meals out to the field, managing kiddos, and keeping everything else going while your farmer is out in the field.
