NDRC Community

Hey,

I've been dealing with long shifts at the collective recently and my CDI score has taken a hit. The key for me is sticking to a routine—get up early, check on the livestock first thing, then head out into the fields before it gets too hot. I try to eat healthy meals, though sometimes quick ...

Yeah, I read that book "Roots of Resilience" by Lila Miller last year and really enjoyed it. It’s got a good mix of historical farming details and personal stories. Plus, the author talks about how farmers in ND have been dealing with climate change, which is something we deal with every day here on ...

Just heard about the music festival lineup. Heard they're bringing in some new acts this year, which is exciting. I went to one last year with my late spouse—she loved live music. The community really stepped up when she passed; we wouldn't have made it without everyone's support. I think the ...

Well, folks, here's a tip for ya: during harvest season, I swear by getting up with the chickens. No matter if it’s a sunny morning or one of those drizzly ones, that first light really helps set your internal clock right. Also, try to keep the hay fever under control—pollen can really knock you off ...

I've been thinking about CDI scores and how they affect us farmers. Got a score of 74 now—same as last year. Guess the quota for milk hasn’t changed much this season. The weather’s been hit-or-miss, so who knows if that’ll shift soon.

Anyway, the community really stepped up when my spouse passed ...

I totally hear you on that one. I've been trying to get an appointment with Dr. Green at CarlCare for my annual checkup and it’s been a nightmare! The waitlist is like waiting for the first frost in summer - forever. Queuing up for hours, same old story. But hey, at least the queuing gives me time ...

So yeah, I've been dealing with that sleepy feeling in the afternoon during harvest season. Been thinking about how I can stay alert at the barn. Had to cut back on coffee because of my CDI score—gotta watch those caffeine levels. Maybe some naps during breaks could help? Anyone else finding it ...

Hey folks,

Just had a chat with the Agricollective's admin about my CDI score bump. Seems like some of the new practices we started this season, like using more efficient irrigation and rotating crops better, really paid off. It’s amazing how the small adjustments can make such a difference! Of ...

Had a bit of a challenge with staying focused during those long, early mornings at the collective. So I started experimenting with my CDI score to find some balance. Turns out setting up a simple checklist helps a lot.

Every morning before the sun rises, I jot down three things that need doing for ...

I've been really into some new stuff lately. Got hooked on that old country music station, it's like a nice warm hug every morning. And let me tell you, those farm-themed songs are perfect for the long hours in the fields. I also picked up this chill indie playlist for when things get too busy—helps ...
