I have been plugging away for a while now to promote and encourage people to see the potential Rainy River District has in agriculture. We have some really great producers here yet we often are overlooked. I am very pleased the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association is coming to visit us on […]

What a weekend! “Layin’ Pipe in the Fight” held Saturday was incredibly successful! Brielmann Ag, Tait Brothers Contracting, and Prinsco Canada, along with many other donations, saw $19,350 raised for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation! The conditions were perfect for installing the special pink-coloured tile, as well as having a […]
I know I mentioned it may take me a few columns to get everyone caught up on the Emo Fair news and I guess because of the cattle sale last weekend, I may have overlooked it. That and the fact that, of course, there are people who have some misunderstandings. […]
I’m sure hoping that summer returns soon. Like we always say: “Once the Emo Fair is over, fall returns!” And that certainly held true this year. It was a chilly week and I even had to break down and wear some long pants. Fortunately, it sounds like this week will […]
The Monday after the Emo Fair just might be one of the craziest days of all. I hadn’t decided if I was coming or going. The worst part is we are tying up the fair but it also is the beginning of cattle sale week. 2017 should go down as […]
As I move into one of the busy weeks of my entire year, I once again wonder why I do this to myself. I would like to learn to not beat myself up if I don’t have entries for the exhibition hall . . . it wouldn’t be the end […]
The weather cooperated for a great long weekend. I was lucky enough to take Friday off so that made four days at home and since we had finished baling hay on Wednesday, I didn’t have to rush around for that. My only problem was I ended up with a nasty […]
I hope everyone is enjoying the heat wave we’ve been experiencing this past week. It won’t last (it never does so I get frustrated when people complain about it). Meanwhile, what a crazy busy week it was last week. Our soil and crop tour on Thursday was very successful and […]
Wow, here we are at the end of July and into our crop tour/open house week. It honestly makes me a little sad. Time goes so fast and summer is much too short. I hope some of you are thinking about attending our crop tour this Thursday (July 27) and/or […]
By now I doubt I have to write how I feel about this weather: rain nearly every day. And truthfully, when people say to me, “Oh, we need a good rain” or “Farmers should be happy with this,” I want to lose it! Making dry hay seems to be becoming […]
We are slowly making some hay though it isn’t an easy task when it rains every day! On Friday morning, we were not expecting any rain and we had nearly half-an-inch at the Emo Agricultural Research Station (EARS). Then they were calling for a storm on Tuesday/Wednesday and it left […]
Although the weather could have co-operated a bit more for all the Canada Day celebrations across the district, it could have been a lot worse! As far as I know, all the events that were happening continued on despite the rain showers. Maddie and Marlee joined Charlie and Levi (the […]
