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 […]
Here we are–middle of June! I don’t know about you, but I am still waiting on some summer weather. Though, as you talk to others we here in Rainy River District are really in pretty decent shape as compared to our friends to the east and the west. I just […]
I hope the summer weather returns. It was pretty darn cool this a.m. and though the sun was shining, we had quite a shower of rain as we arrived at the Research Station. Last week was a successful week despite the fact we had close to a one inch of […]
It is June 3 as I write this and I have layers of clothing on. That don’t seem right. I have heard two reports–one saying that summer will be colder than normal and the other stating it will be warmer than normal. I think it just means that we don’t […]
There is no sense in commenting on the weather because I believe we are all of the same opinion. All I can say is Mother Nature better plan on making up for this later this year! • • • We planted a few more areas before the rain came last […]
What a great long weekend! If only we just had one more day–right? I have to say it won’t go down as one of the warmest weekends of all, but the sun was shining! Actually, I had to go in and put my long-johns on when I was cutting grass […]
It is starting to green up nicely and you can see some green leaves popping out. The weather was nice over the weekend and it really has started to dry up! I was hoping to get over my lawn, but my boyfriend/partner is working on my lawnmower, so it is […]
