Last week Cory and I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma, with some of GA's finest young agriculturalists. The GA Farm Bureau has a Young Farmer and Rancher State Committee that Cory and I have been blessed to serve on this year, and one of our duties is to attend the YF Conference. We had a great time! We met all kinds of farmers! Young agriculturalist from across the nation were there to learn how to "Stand up and Speak out" for American agriculture. 
During the week we attended many motivational sessions. Including one by "Little People, Big World's" Matt Roloff. He is very innovative and has been since he was a small child. He was a great keynote speaker sharing his belief that the future of farming has never been a more important topic.
On our final day, we got out of Tulsa for some farm tours! Our first stop was Three Forks Ranch. This ranch is a commercial registered Angus ranch.
The barns were made out of cement and were really cool looking.
The farm was beautiful...even in the winter!
Our next stop was Lavender Hills Farm and Winery.The lavender farm was really unique and definitely a niche market.
I bought some lavender honey that was yummy, and some lavender sachets for my Mom and MIL.
The winery was really small but really nice. The whole atmosphere was very relaxing and peaceful.
Green Leaf Nursery was our last stop. I have NEVER seen as many green houses as I did on this tour. You wouldn't believe the green houses!
Green Leaf is one of North America's largest wholesale nursery growers. It is virtually 100% "propagation self-sufficient". Pretty cool huh?!?
After the tours, the Grand Finale included some delicious food and wonderful entertainment. A young band graced us with some AWESOME music, and the local Indian Reservation's school students performed some of their native dances. It was educational and entertaining.
Overall, we had a great time! We were really encouraged to use social media to educate and encourage the consumer of our farms and operations. There are lots of things I have already shared with ya'll that we do on our farm and that won't stop . We are, however, going to try and keep you updated on agricultural news and events. This information can be very beneficial.
God has blessed Cory and I with a business we love, and the opportunity to serve an industry we're passionate for.
