? Don’t forget—Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend! Set those clocks back an hour and enjoy a little extra morning light. While it’s a common myth that DST was started to help farmers, they actually preferred steady hours to work with the natural light. ?? No matter the time, our farmers are always up early to keep things growing!

???? #HappyHalloween! Did you know pumpkins are one of the most popular crops grown across the U.S., especially this time of year? In fact, farmers grow over a billion pounds of pumpkins annually! ??
