AgWired

Russell Graves has given me permission to use some of his photos here on AgWired and I’d sure like to do it more often. In fact, I hope to meet Russell in person some time. I just know we’d get along great. He’s going to continue to document wildlife in a variety of ways and I’m going to continue to document agribusiness not only here on AgWired but with some other plans I have for the future.

I thought I’d point you to Russell’s website again since he updates it with new online photo essays. The one this picture is from is called Puddle Jumpers. Take some time to visit Russell and enjoy some great photography.

Farm blogging is growing folks. In fact, I think I know of more farmers blogging than the companies that are trying to sell them products and services! Let’s take Greg Knott for example. He’s one of several farmers who have written to me lately after finding AgWired.

I ran across AgWired this past weekend while googling different things. Just wanted to let you know how impressed I was with the site. Easy to read and interesting.

Let’s help Greg obtain some readers!

My backyard bambi last week prompted one AgWired reader to send in her own. This is a picture from Columbia, MO of what’s probably an albino deer. This one’s living behind Marylin Cummins house.

Here’s the special doe I watch for each day out my office window and off the deck — she likes to bed down on the wooded hillside that is our backyard (in the middle of suburban Columbia, Mo.) We think she’s an albino — she’s definitely different. Always travels alone and is quite tame — going right up to people’s backyards, where she ate the leaves off the top of my baby redbud trees this fall. She doesn’t spook when I call to her, either — I’ve nicknamed her “Crystal.”
