I am hoping that everyone received some of that “million dollar” rain we received over the weekend. It sounds like it varied in amounts once again. I received about 15 mm but my friend in Pinewood received 40 mm. I was pleasantly surprised that it came down slow and steady […]

Sounds like we are back in the heat wave again. I enjoy it but this heat usually brings on a thunderstorm and though we need the rain it would be better if it didn’t come with all that force. It is dry enough that lightning could potentially cause us some […]
Friday before leaving work we had quite a storm blow in! We ended up getting 22 mm of rain in about 20 minutes! It was crazy. I quickly looked at my camera to see if it was doing anything at home and all I noticed was the wind. My concern […]
I updated my weather information, and it looks like we have had our hottest May since 2007. We have only seen this amount of heat in May four times since 2000. This is based off my Corn Heat Unit data. The rain amount was slightly below normal, but it all […]
We have been experiencing some beautiful summer weather and I am so scared to let my guard down and enjoy it. With two years of some not-so-enjoyable conditions, it seems I am nervous. The growth is just incredible right now. Alfalfa is knee high, and I would expect dairy producers […]
We certainly can’t complain about the long weekend weather. We reminisce about the many years my dad would want to go fishing simply because it was the “long weekend” and there would be snowflakes in the air. Though I certainly could and maybe even should have been working at my […]
Every spring there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day. It seems like there are so many tasks to do that you don’t really know where to start. It looks like a good start to the week weather wise so none of us will complain about that. […]
If nothing else, the rain has certainly greened things up and likely cleaned up some of the dirty snow that was left behind. We can hope that the sun will be back out shining quickly. Friday, we were able to get a good chunk of plots planted. Of course, not […]
We had a great Cattle Sale Saturday. We sold 1293 head for $2,392,891.89 and I think most producers were quite pleased with the results. Like everything else, farm inputs are at an all time high, so these increased prices are much needed. I think one of the best things I […]
Wow, the last week of April and it really don’t seem like it. The 4 or 5 inches of snow last week certainly didn’t help me think spring! I was in Guelph Monday for the day and the grass is green and lawn mowers were venturing out. Around the Quetico […]
Well somehow, I mis-placed a week and had a small panic attack when I realized how much I have going on this week. I think it was the weather – when it was nice, I wanted to enjoy it and while it still seems like winter, I think I have […]
I am pretty sure we will all agree that this weather is good for the soul! I find myself feeling guilty that I am not outside, but we are limited on what we can do right now. I am limited to making little drains with my boots hoping the water […]
