To begin the new year we begin with a fun story that might just inspire you to make your own New Year’s resolution. We meet a father and daughter who accomplished something that it is believed no one else has done. They raced the Cannonball Run coast-to-coast race together. Many of us may only know of the race from the movie in the 1970s. Here’s the story of the race and their cross country trip.

We often think that success in farming is measured by the number of acres we farm or the number of 
livestock we raise. That isn’t necessarily wrong, but Josh Payne helps us look at agriculture from a

that unusual and may just fit all of us.
