Hello, dairy farmers! What a difference a year has made. Last year, we were in the middle of one of the wettest spring planting seasons on record.

It has been a month since the Super Tuesday election. Boy, it has been peaceful these past few weeks. Amazing how the barrage of robo-calls subsided after March 6.

I cannot believe how fast the summer of 2010 has passed.
