This week in between chopping silage (and dealing with some not-so-fun repairs), we hosted a group of 17 people that make up the SARE Advisory Committee.

SARE stands for Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education. This group is part of the USDA but operates at a more regional level to award grants to different projects.

This group came to visit us to learn more about what we do on the sustainability front. The group included Purdue Extension, National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), and Conservation Cropping Systems Initiative (CCSI).

All are groups that we love to work with for different projects in the ag and specifically the sustainability space.

New Bull Herd on the Farm

A cow contributes only half of a calf’s genetic potential. The other half comes from the bull, which is why bull selection matters so much.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Parmesan Polenta and Roasted Carrots Recipe

Few dishes capture comfort like braised short ribs. The aroma of slow-cooked beef, rich sauce, and creamy polenta creates that unmistakable feeling of a meal worth slowing down for. For this version, I used Fischer Farms bone-in short ribs- a mix of one single-bone and one double-bone cut- to showcase the versatility Fischer Farms offers chefs and home cooks alike.
