2016 4-H Scholarship Application (Available after Feb 5, 2016)
The most important element to produce a great corn crop is weather, BUT….we cannot control the weather.
Every year we deal with the conditions we are given. That’s why a well-developed cropping plan is so important to minimize the damage from the more than one-thousand variables that affect our crop every year.
We are the cropping plan specialists and can develop a plan complete with contingencies for your operation.
You can relate to the memorable moments that took place in farming this past year. During this holiday season we encourage all of you to give yourself a special gift, the gift of some time out.
Time out to reflect on this past year and acknowledge what went well for you, the opportunities you created and the wins you’ve had. The gift of this time is the opportunity to look forward, and design what you want for your farm for the next year.
We’d like to help you plan for success. We are AgVenture Pinnacle of Olivia, online at avpinnacle.com.
Thank you for celebrating another great year with us, we enjoyed spending time with our amazing clients, co-workers and friends at our Customer Appreciation Event on Dec. 1st. The event was a wonderful success and we truly are grateful for your patronage over the last year.
We hope that you enjoyed our guest speaker Joe Schmidt and his inspirational and entertaining speech about purpose, persistence, and passion. We certainly did! Here are a few of our favorite quotes.
“We make our biggest impressions when we are not trying to be impressive.”
“Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest impact.”
“We all have a gift, make sure that you’re using it.”
“People won’t remember what you said or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel.”
“Spend 90% of your time on the good stuff and only 10% of your time on the bad.”
“So many times we get so caught up in the destination that we forget to enjoy the journey.”
“If you want to be the best, you need to be better prepared than everyone else.”
“Be persistent in your passion.”
“Say a second “thank you” to those who made an impact in your life.”
“Think about who you would put on you Mt. Rushmore of impact. Simulate your life after those people.”
“Praise more, condemn less. There’s always something good to say about everyone.”
And how could we forget this one….“It don’t get no better than this!” It certainly doesn’t! We were thrilled that Joe shared a copy of this book“Silent Impact” with each of us. We couldn’t have had a better night. Thank you for being part of it!
We had so many of you ask about the awesome cookies we served at the event that we just had to share our secret! The yummy cookies came from Cookie Creations, visit their Facebook page for more information.
Please enjoy our collection of photos from the event below. We’d love to see your event photos too! Please share them on our AgVenture Pinnacle Facebook Page.
