So that’s where I’m headed today. In case you didn’t know it, the National Farm-City Council has materials available for schools to help educate children about agriculture. These Fun Facts bookmarks are an example. …
Meeting With Horse Photographers
This week you get to learn about equine photography through an interview with Karen and Larry Williams, Larry Williams Photography. I met them at the World Championship Appaloosa Show and really enjoyed seeing how their system works. They take a lot of pictures and have to manage them through backups and uploading to their website for sale. Watching Larry work …
Corn Smut Contest
Corn smut is not pretty. But that’s what the National Corn Growers Association is looking for. Actually they’re looking for a different kind of corn smut: Pick up a newspaper, turn on the evening news, listen to the radio. Corn growers are polluting the water, eroding the soil, causing global hunger. We’d cry if it weren’t so darn outrageous. Instead, …

Last night here at the World Championship Appaloosa Show this move got a big “ooh” from the crowd and I just happened to be ready to take a picture. This was right before the …

Horse Photograhper Extraordinaire
Sometimes the photographer gets his picture taken. I hope Larry Williams is happy with this one of him and his wife Karen. They’re the official show photographers of the Appaloosa World Show and boy do they have a job to do. You can only imagine how many pictures they have to take and take care of. They do thousands at …

How many of you know what a reining competition is? Quick show of hands. That’s what I thought. So watch this video clip and then you’ll have an …
