On the Road Again...

I'm really not sure where February went...  Last Friday marked my 3rd anniversary of working at Stateline and it's a little hard to believe all of the things that we have accomplished in such a short time.

 

It seems to be the time of the year for MEETINGS - Below is a photo of our booth at the Panhandle No-Till Partnership's Winter Conference last week.  I greatly enjoyed their fantastic line-up of speakers from different parts of the country who discussed all aspects of no-till, soil health, crop/forage rotations, etc...

 

The Dry Bean Direct Harvest meeting in Alliance on February 15th featured a great program as well.  John Thomas had a full house and the insight from the Grower Panel was particularly helpful to those thinking about taking the plunge from conventional to direct harvest.

 

Pea memberships are flying off of the shelves ;)

Dave & I will be in Martin, South Dakota tomorrow & Sterling, Colorado on Thursday.  If you haven't sent in your membership paperwork and are planning on joining, please let me know ASAP so I can count you on our list of commitments.

 

Bean Seed is still available - 4% prepay discount is available until March 31st.

Stateline has put together two more grower meetings for getting the word out about our new expansion into the receiving, processing, & marketing of yellow spring field peas.  Since we are licensed for membership in NE, WY, CO, KS, & SD, we are starting with these two out-of-state meetings.

Happy Valentine's Day

Our office smelled pretty fantastic today - Sharon & I received beautiful flowers from our significant others...  Thank you Tony & Mick :)
