Hey @Walgreens - can we stop the practice of putting my debit card into an envelope and stapling it to my scripts? It’s unnecessary and 9 times out of 10 I forget and end up with my card still stapled to my scripts when I’m at the next store. #adhdproblems #firstworldproblems
It’s good at the @ILStateFair. The Boss won Grand Champion popcorn. For those keeping track at home, that’s 6 out of the last 8 years. We have a happy farmer today. #popcorn #grandchampion #womeninag #statefair
Funny the things that will make us nostalgic. Love that this old Home Interiors painting hangs in my favorite little small town diner. How many of us grew up with this in our homes? #homeinteriors #flashback #nostalgia
And just like that she’s one step closer to her American Degree. I have loved watching this kids FFA journey. #ffa #americandegree @IllinoisFFA #proudmom
ADHD brain hack - I love podcasts but my mind tends to wander. I listen to them on 1.5x and trick my brain into processing. Now if I could do that in live meetings. #adhd #brainhacks
This is just heartbreaking. Prayers to all involved.
Massive pileup on I-55 south of Springfield, Illinois has closed the interstate for nearly 30 miles. Blowing dust off freshly plowed fields led to very low visibility

Soil sampling at the Morrow Plots in 1904 vs 2023.
Or: How it started / How its going
When people ask why I don’t take my kids to see the Easter Bunny…. That’s me and some character straight from Hell. #easterbunny #badbunny #nightmare #flashback #easter

Thanks to our friends at @ILSoybean for this great video from @ajmargenot further explaining the Illinois Centennial Soil Archive project. Is your field on the list to be resampled? You can check here: tinyurl.com/yksb65fn

Such a cool project. Is your farm on the list?
Dating back to 1899, soil samples were collected and cataloged by the @UofIllinois. Now @ajmargenot and his team need your help locating those original sites to bring the soil sample history full circle. Learn more here: illinoisnrec.org/be-a-part-o… #soils #soilarchive #historyofsoil
ALT Dr. Andrew Margenot examines some of the 1,000's of historic soil samples stored at the University of Illinois.
Shouting out a Happy 50th Anniversary to these two lovebirds. Their love story is definitely my favorite. #highschoolsweethearts #goldenanniversary #50years
The IFCA convention always makes me nostalgic. I wish I could go back 26 years and tell 21 year old me, the intern, that I was about to embark on an amazing career and let her know how many great people she would meet and how many opportunities lie ahead. #throwback #careerpath

Other 7 year old girls want to be princesses, or superheroes, or maybe a witch. Not my kid. She chooses Edward Scissorhands. #Halloween2022 #costumes #cosplay
Pet peeve. Instead of apologizing for the quality of your slides/data sets when making a presentation, maybe go ahead and fix them. 🤷♀️ Or consider your audience while you are building your presentation. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. #publicspeaking #presentationskills
Best school fundraiser ever. For 10 years our elementary school has done a single fundraiser - the Hornet Walk. Nothing to sell, nothing to deliver, very little overhead. Today they raised over $40k. #fundraising #smalltown #bestfundraiser
The Boss is taking the show on the road. My front row seat has been downgraded to mezzanine level but I’m just grateful to have tickets to Act 2. #nextchapter #flythenest #bheaggie
