Fun at work!  The Guys were making me laugh!  :)

~Weekend~

What a wonderful weekend!  I hope everyone was able to spend time with family and friends.  I just have to share a couple of pictures with you that pretty much wrap up my weekend!  These friendly fellows reminded me how much I want to strive to 'live simply.'  They were so happy just grazing the meadow with the beautiful majestic mountains in the background, not a care in the world. Occasionally, they would come up to the barn to visit with us and see what was going on.  They were very settled and content.

I hope everyone had a WONDERFUL day with family yesterday and a great RELAXING weekend to follow!  Take a backseat and just rest and ENJOY!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'd like to thank our growers, staff, truck drivers, and everyone else who helped make it a great and successful harvest!  Have a great Thanksgiving!

Many Hands

Many Hands Make Light Work!

I just love these pictures!  Thank you for all

of your help guys!  I am so thankful to work

with such a great staff!

Movin' Beans

Oh BEAUTIFUL day in November!  Over 50 degrees  almost on Thanksgiving!

Today, we are starting to move our Great Northern beans from our facility in Gering over to our Bridgeport facility.

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  Did anyone get corn all finished up?  I sure hope so.  With the little bit of snow we had on Saturday, it feels more like Christmas than Thanksgiving.  It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already coming...this Thursday!  Time goes by so fast!  I have been working at Stateline for almost six months now.  I came in during seed, got to go through the growing season and then harvest.  Now, with our Annual Meeting behind us, we are on to our next season.  We will begin small grower meetings as winter progresses. I really look forward to holding these meetings for our current growers as well as potential members.  If you all have any ideas for topics, please let us know.  Don't forget about our seed booking days December 14th and 15th.

I just want to take a quick moment to thank our growers and staff for welcoming me onto the crew.  I have enjoyed getting to know everyone this summer and fall.  Thank you for your patience, as well, as I was learning the truck dispatcher stuff.  With harvest all wrapped up, I can look back and realize how much I have learned since I began just six months ago.

Congratulations!

There were three nominees for the "JOE FRANKS AWARD." This year it was awarded to Mr. Larry Birdsall (pictured above) for his dedication and excellence in leadership for the bean industry.

Another congratulations goes out to our growers who won our "CLEAN BEAN AWARD!" This award is calculated by adding the F.M. and dirt on the total tare per load.
