We are a family owned and operated farming operation located on the Cumberland Plateau approximately 40 miles west of Knoxville, Tennessee.  All our products are raised or produced on one of our owned or leased farms. 

What will 2011 hold for farmers, consumers, and our great country??  With all the uncertainty it is difficult to predict what this year will bring.  We have already seen higher fuel prices and higher fertilizer prices.   The national cattle herd is down to approximately 93 million head; the lowest level since the 1950's.  With the push for alternative fuels, farmers are converting acreage from hay and animal production to crop production.  The ethanol industry is utilizing large amounts of corn to product ethanol to meet the growing demand.  At some point a balance has to be achieved.  In the end, the public winds up paying higher prices for nearly everything.  At a time where many are without jobs or have limited incomes, higher prices are hurting the American family. 

Even with all the uncertainty, one thing holds constant.  Through our faith and belief in God, we will survive these tough times and emerge stronger.  We live in the greatest country with numerous opportunities.  God Bless America!

We are looking forward to a great year and wish the same for you and your family!
