    Keeping Turkeys Warm and Happy.

    December 30, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It was back to work for me this week, as I enjoyed a little calm in the office before the storm known affectionately as “January-through-March.” Most people assume November (Thanksgiving) is my busiest time working for Minnesota Turkey, but the truth is, we’re busy all year long – and especially…

    State Fair 2014: Gobble, Cluck & Cheese Curds

    August 29, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Is anyone else literally shocked that we’re heading into Labor Day weekend? Weird! And somewhat sad (good-bye summer) … although I must admit I think I may be getting to the point now that I’m ready to get back to a normal schedule. It’s State Fair time in Minnesota right…

    August 17, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Happy Sunday night, everyone! I’m going to make this pretty short and sweet right now, mainly because I want to share a blog post I wrote for my “Women in Ag” series over on Agriculture.com. This week marks my 20th year working for the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association and in…

    April 17, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Last week, I debuted my first blog post for Successful Farming’s “Women in Agriculture” family of bloggers on Agriculture.com. I am beyond thrilled to be asked to contribute to this website on a regular basis and I’m humbled by the amazing women in my company. Does this solidify my status…

    Wordless Wednesday: Turkey Tussle

    April 9, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Turkey tussle, anyone? A few years ago while coordinating the annual Thanksgiving Media Day for the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association, I attempted to shoot a little video for our members, letting them know what was happening and thanking them for their assistance and support of this event.

    Don’t Fear Your Food: Antibiotic Use on the Farm

    February 25, 2014 - By ldurben@charter.net

    It’s been a while since I’ve shared/written a post strictly about poultry farming – I have many agriculture-related blog posts floating around in my head but not as much time right now to get them all written. Some day. In the meantime, my farm blogger friend, Katie, from On the…

    Goodnight, Turkeys.

    November 6, 2013 - By ldurben@charter.net

    My Wordless Wednesday has a few words. I can’t help it. I write. That’s what I do. I love taking pictures, but I love captioning them too. So you’ll forgive me, right? Goodnight, Minnesota’s Presidential turkeys. They are tucked away, cozy in this beautiful and festive garden shed-turned-turkey-barn, at least…
