I hope everyone was able to enjoy a great Thanksgiving weekend – with or without turkey. I was fortunate to be able to celebrate with a few friends on Saturday night (with a ton of laughs and teasing) and again on Sunday night with my family. I know I have […]

October 5 to 11 is Agriculture Week! Ag Week is dedicated to celebrating the abundance of food our farmers produce, the Ontarians our industry employs, the rural communities we support and the economic engine we fuel. Each year, the week leading up to Thanksgiving weekend in Ontario Agriculture week, as […]
I was fortunate to be able to take off a few days last week and do some much needed tasks at home. We are at a good spot her at the Station but now we really need to get cleaning seed and doing some data! We will. This week that […]
This fall weather is so excellent! Really there is nothing like a long, warm, dry fall. I hope everyone is getting out and enjoying it. For me it seems extra special after last fall. I was a wreck stressing about the mud and mess. I am thankful not only for […]
What! The middle of September has arrived. It certainly seems like time is moving quickly and maybe more so as the days get shorter and we all try to pack as much possible into our days. The sunshine really helps with everyone’s mood and as well the long to-do lists! […]
It was a decent long weekend for us, provided you survived the crazy winds on Sunday night. We ended up with no power, so it seemed like a dark, long evening. I had some office jobs planned for that evening, so they had to wait. We were entertained by Black […]
Hard to believe we are moving into September. I think to myself; it is harder to believe as we missed out on the Emo Fair. We often gauge things based on the Fair. I wouldn’t complain if summer lasted a few more months and I could certainly find enough work […]
We got our combine back last week and started right into harvesting. We were lucky to have a young helper for a day last week. Levi was visiting his grandma and grandpa and he has strong interest in farming and growing. We enjoyed him so much and his knowledge was […]
This would have been our Emo Fair Weekend and today would have been the dreaded Monday following a very busy weekend. We did have our overall “Covid Club Show” at Pam and Murray Wilson’s. The top two steers, heifers and showman all competed for the Grand Champion spot. It was […]
I am having a hard time believing we are already nearing the middle of August. My life has been a blur the past week and a half and normally we would be on the mad rush to prepare for the Emo Fall Fair. My dad passed away on July 30 […]
Summer is really moving along – and for the most part we certainly cannot complain about the weather. Well, that is funny because I tend to complain about the weather but that is just because of rain. Last week we should have been braver and cut more hay than we […]
So, we have moved into rain every second day and though the last bit of rain hasn’t been large amounts, it certainly puts a damper on making hay. We have around 100 acres left. And after struggling a bit to get the last stuff baled up, we are gun-shy about […]
