Traveling around the state of Wyoming is one of my favorite pastimes, as well as my job.

Well, not my full time job.

Just one of my various responsibilities with Custom Ag Solutions. Our company has a number of partnerships with government and educational institutions to provide risk management training to “beginning producers” or future farmers and ranchers. That means I frequently visit high schools around the country and present our materials and farm simulation game to vocational agriculture students attending there.

It’s a win/win, as the kids seem to love the game and I love getting out, meeting new people, and seeing new places.

Today I visited Star Valley HS in Afton, WY. Afton is surrounded by mountains and is very snowy today. I like to think our home is surrounded by mountains, and technically it is. But the mountains near Afton are close…and snowy.

I’m sitting in a hotel lobby as I write this and I’m looking out at nearly 20” of snow on a picnic table outside. While the snow adds a bit of beauty to the landscape, I’m very much over it. Like a 17th century sailor suffering from scurvy, I need greens…and citrus.

Probably won’t get citrus growing in Wyoming.

Can I at least have some greens?
