Once again, we appreciate all of the men and women who are showing up and doing the work both in and outside of the ag industry! And let’s all just say together, “we are one day closer to spring!”

Welcome to the kickoff of National Ag Week, right here on Ranch Raised!  

 The history of agriculture in the U.S. is as rich as the soil that we walk our boots on.

My name is Parker James, and i come from a deep line of farmers and ranchers from the Sandhills of Nebraska. I'm embarrassed to say it, but i don't know half of what i should about Ag. I've moved across the nation and decided to make learning everything i can my mission. Let me ask the questions you've always wondered, but didn't want to ask! Join me on my journey every week here on YourAgNetwork.com or check out the Greenhorn on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok!

I could go on and on about the gory aftermath of the Bomb Cyclone and the destruction, death, and weakness that it left. I can paint pictures with my words but unless you have lived it, you can’t know what was felt.

If you ever want to feel absolutely helpless, vulnerable and stressed to a point that you didn’t know existed, then try calving during a Bomb Cyclone.
