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 […]
Okay, this waking up to snow is getting old real fast! As I wake up in the night I always look at my cameras and I could see something blowing around, but I was hoping it was just the birds flying in and out of the barn. We should have […]
This is the first week for my summer students to be back at EARS and what do we see? Snow! I am overlooking that four-letter word because I am happy to have my students back! Nick is returning for his sixth year and Claire is back for her third year. […]
What a great weekend to celebrate Easter! Plenty of sunshine and great time to get outside and do some egg hunting! We were lucky that Maddie and Marlee spent the weekend in the country. There is no limit of things to do this time of the year, so we just […]
I am sure we all felt the same about the snow that arrived Thursday and Friday last week. I came to work on Friday am to find a huge drift along the south side of the building. This is the entrance, of course. If it wasn’t for the fact we […]
Though these dreary days are hard to get excited about, the rain is taking away the snow at least. The barn yard is a wet, greasy mess. THE worst time of the year to have cattle in a contained area. Most people try and sacrifice an area to get them […]
April 1st! This is a busy month. Many farmers will be busy with calving and preparing for the spring land work. Equipment will be getting the tune up it needs, fertilizer will be spread, and seed will be planted soon in hopes of a great season ahead. Optimism is at […]
