Turquoise cows and pigs

Turning heads in the barn

I have featured Purple Banner Designs before on the blog. They were one of my first giveaways. They have recently posted lots of new items to their blog so I wanted to give you an update, and why not do it turquoise style. I would encourage to visit their blog, as they have all kinds of fabrics and do lots of custom pieces for people.

I love hoodies. I wear them all year long. Yes even in the heat we have had this summer. 

These note cards are great. I really need to order some for myself. 

How about some pigs in a blanket. 

She has lots of items for the little guys. 

Be sure to say hello to Bethany on her blog for me when you check out the rest of her great designs.

College Football vs College of Ag

It's that time of year

I have got football on the brain. I can't believe the first game of the season is almost here. There is something about going to football games in Manhattan, Kansas, that I love. I am pretty sure it is the only college football game that you will see advertisements for Five Rivers Feeders or Nuflor up on the jumbotron during the game. Cowboy boots and cowboy hats can be seen in every direction. And every large-animal pharmaceutical company is throwing a tailgate.

Our athletics program is pretty decent, but I would always take some more wins. One day I will probably send some money in their direction. I am planning on having pretty good football seats and it is the only way to get there. However, right now I know that the dollars I send to the College of Ag probably have a greater impact. I would rather support scholarships that with put the youth who will feed the world through college, than sending dollars to athletics so we can buy a bigger jumbtron.

However, in Nebraska it seems like things are a little different. On August 20, Tom Osborne, Nebraska's Athletics Director, announced the Cornhusker Co-op. The program allows managers at elevators, from across the state, to authorize portions of farmer's grain yield as a donation to the Athletic Department.

Too bad these designated funds couldn't go towards their College of Ag.

Maybe we can get Kansas State on board for a program similar to this. I can see the headline now, "Kansas wheat farms donate portion of yields to ag scholarships, livestock judging teams, and international agriculture trips."
