Okay, I was stressed last week with the weather, so I won’t even tell you how I am feeling this week and with the forecast the way it is now. Honestly, please refrain from telling me: “How great it is to have rain now!” • • • We had another […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Okay, so we need some good weather. This isn’t funny anymore. I have never had my cereal plots in the field waiting to harvest in September. I am kicking myself that I didn’t come into work over the weekend, but it is hard because I certainly have things to do […]
Here we are–the last week of August! Wishing Lisa Teeple a very happy 60th birthday. On this dreary morning, listening to the weather forecast with the potential of receiving way too much rain, I am questioning whether I should have packed up cows and girls and headed to the Dryden […]
What a weekend! I was really hoping the rain would hold off until the races were over on Saturday night but that didn’t happen! We really wondered what to do for our steer auction and thought hard about setting up inside the barn, but we all looked at our weather […]
Well, I am having a hard time to believe this, but it is the Emo Fall Fair Week! I can honestly say that I have nothing ready–other than the cattle, I guess. I don’t have one entry made! I will be working extra over-time these next couple of days to […]
What an amazing long weekend! The weather was great. I know, I heard a lot of complaints about how hot it was, but haven’t you noticed the cooler evening. Fall is starting to move our way. Another sure sign is the fact the Emo Fair is just two weeks away. […]
Well, we are in cleanup mode after a busy couple of days with guests that were in for our soil and crop tour and open house. The weather co-operated in one way that we were just finishing at our last stop at Philip Krahn’s before we had a display of […]
This is the week that we work hard to make things presentable! Our open house and crop tour is this Thursday. I really hope you are considering coming and exploring the district and our plots. We have a bunch of guests coming for the University of Guelph and Ministry of […]
I can’t believe we are already into the middle of July! Time is ticking away quickly. We were just commenting this morning at EARS on how we certainly have had quite a stretch of hot weather. (We are not complaining.) The crops are looking decent. Pretty much the heads are […]
You may have noticed there is a lot of hay being made these nice sunny days. The last few days of haze have made it a bit more difficult to get hay to dry though. It also helps if there is a nice breeze, not 90km/hr winds but a breeze. […]
What an amazing weekend to celebrate Canada! We couldn’t have asked for better weather. I was able to bale some hay and still take a day off and head to Mine Centre for a day. This is ideal weather for making dry hay–hot but still with a good breeze. It […]
Summer has officially arrived! It really is my favourite season; long days and hot sun–what more could a farmer ask for? I had a long list for the weekend after missing a weekend at home with my visit to Barrie, Ont. I am so thankful that the weather co-operated. It […]
