Beef Consumption in USA hits record low!

WASHINGTON:  Beef consumption in the USA has hit the lowest level since consumption records began in 1958.  Beef consumption fell by 1.4 pounds in 2010 to 59.7 pounds per capita.  Pork consumption fell even more at 2.2 pounds to a per capita consumptions of 48 pounds.  The fall in per capita meat consumption reflects the decline in the available domestic supply due to falling animal numbers and growing export sales.  Chicken consumption rose in 2010 in large due to slowing export sales.

Crops are planted!

We just wanted to praise the Lord for allowing us, and all of our family and friends to get their crops planted this spring.  It has been a very difficult year to get in the fields due to the heavy rain and storms.  The Lord gave us nearly 10 days of weather that allowed the tractors to roll out of the shed and plant all those little seeds that in time will hopefully reap a bountiful harvest come fall.  These farmers put in huge days, some working around the clock to get their livelihood planted into the rich Indiana soil.  Many having mothers and wives bring them lunch and supper out to the field, each making the sacrifice it takes to complete the task.  God bless each one of you for contributing to feed families all around the world and those right in our own neighborhood.
