Happy Thanksgiving from Agweek! Let us know what you’re thankful for this year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We at Agweek know not everything is rosy, in agriculture or in life. But we also recognize how much good there is in the world and especially in our little piece of it.

This week, we focused on the theme of “Thankful For Agriculture” when crafting our stories. The only thing we may not have made clear in our reporting was that we are especially thankful for our readers and for the people who share their stories and lives with us.
