Last week, I wrote about resilience while reflecting on a harvest season that will be less than desired for many of our farmers and ranchers.  This week I want to reflect on relationships as a key to your resilience during difficult times.

Nothing like a blast of cold air to make sure we know Fall has arrived and the time to get harvest in gear is here.  But this year is a bit different than most.  We’re way ahead of normal harvest dates, and by the time you read this piece virtually all of the soybeans and most of the corn will be at the elevator or in a bin.
