I hope everyone had a great long weekend. As I type this, I know that some haven’t had a good one, as we lost a great person this weekend. I was very sad to hear that Russ Ling had passed away. Russ was known by many, and his kind personality […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
The last week of July has arrived! Today is our big Crop Day in the District. We have to do some quick pivoting because our specialist didn’t feel they should be travelling to the Northwest because of the fires. They felt that they would be using resources that are needed […]
We are now a week out from our big crop day in the district. Our final planning meeting is on Tuesday morning. Last week, many of our out-of-town guests were calling and texting with concern about travelling in our region with all the fires, road closures and lack of lodging. […]
We are certainly experiencing some good ol’-fashioned summer weather. I don’t want to complain, but it sure makes me nervous about equipment and the risk of fire. My tractor tends to run a bit warm, so I spend all my time staring at the temperature gauge and switching between my […]
I hope everyone had a great time celebrating Canada Day! I spent the day preparing to make hay and then cutting a small field. It didn’t end well because I had hydraulic oil spraying from the tractor. I made it home (the field was right across from my house), but […]
We seem to have moved into an unstable weather pattern, and the channel I check is showing a 50 percent chance of rain for most of the week. It certainly makes it difficult to decide whether to cut hay or not. Typical. Again, I think we spend too much time […]
Once again, I am sitting waiting for a flight to Toronto as I write this “Moos” update. I had a BFO Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday, so I’m making my way back home after the meeting. It will be a long day, and I will wait and see what the […]
The middle of June has arrived. How quickly the days pass by! Our winter wheat is nearly fully headed out, but it isn’t very tall. I think our long, cool spring, which turned into hot summer weather, has played havoc on some of our crops. If you have alfalfa in […]
I hope everyone has been enjoying the incredible weather we’ve been experiencing. I certainly have been. I love the sunshine, heat and warm summer nights. Of course, the bugs ruin some of that enjoyment. When I was cutting grass the deer flies were biting and they seemed to have a way to […]
Whoa…. June 1. The date makes me a bit nervous. Since we just got spring and summer simultaneously last week, there are many jobs to tick off. This last week of weather has been incredible, and I don’t mind it one bit. We did have to finally turn on the […]
I think Sunday’s weather was the type we’ve all been waiting for—it felt incredible. It will take a few of those days to dry things up again, and maybe we will be complaining then about the dry conditions. We haven’t had a lot of rain, but I did cut the […]
I absolutely love long weekends! The only thing that could have made it better was more sunshine! Friday was a scary day with wind and fire. We had no hydro all day and well into the night. As I have mentioned before, it is more of a worry when the […]
