America 250: 1691

In 1691, the first commercial gristmill opened in Pennsylvania, helping expand trade among the colonies. A gristmill is a water-powered mill that grinds grain into flour or meal using large millstones. These mills allowed farmers to process crops locally and turned wheat into the flour needed for daily bread.

Early mills like this helped build communities, support trade and shape food traditions that are still part of American life today.

Rural Oklahomans across the state are continuing to battle the bitter cold and snow. Farming and ranching is tough even in the best of weather. As we brace for another round, know that we see the hard word you’re putting in!

We’d love to see how winter looks in your corner of rural Oklahoma. From newborn calves brought in out of the cold to breaking ice for what feels like the millionth time, share it all with us.

Drop your photos in the comments or email them directly to [email protected]. We’ll get in touch with you about sharing your corner of snowy Oklahoma with the rest of the AFR membership.

We couldn't agree more!

America's cattle producers have been sounding the alarm on concentration in the meatpacking industry for years now and it's refreshing to see the current administration acknowledge the issue. We agree that having majority foreign-owned meatpackers in the U.S. beef market is detrimental to ranchers, consumers, and our country. We appreciate today's comments from President Trump and we look forward to additional efforts by the Dept. of Justice.

Hard work matters, but so does loving where you work.

Happy Labor Day to our incredible team and hard workers everywhere!
