I enjoyed sharing our farmers' stories at the “Soil & Soul” exhibit during the Harvest of Talents for World Hunger in Lincoln, Illinois! It was truly a wonderful experience and for an important cause.

Happy Presidents Day!

This year, the Moseley kids visited Lincoln’s Tomb and enjoyed the IL Presidents exhibit at the IL State Museum, featuring stories and artifacts from Lincoln, Grant, Reagan, and Obama. The Home in the Heartland exhibit reminded us of Gma/pa’s collection.
