Well, I am busy summarizing data and trying to create a report at the Station. It is slightly depressing since there are numerous things that worked against all things here this year. First off, a very late spring meant late planting dates, roughly as much as a month later for […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Aaron Bujold & his girlfriend Janelle, along with Linda and Evan Debney attended the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto to receive their Ag Excellence Awards. More great news for both the Rainy River and Kenora Districts. (Though Linda was born and raised here so I still consider her from Rainy […]
Fortunately, I was able to get away for the weekend with some great people and cheer loudly for Aaron (Bujold Farms) at Manitoba Ag. Ex. This is a large cattle show with many breeds represented and the Supreme Champions from this show get a bye in the Supreme Champion Class […]
I am pretty sure we all agree that this weather has been incredible, and no one is rushing it away. (Well maybe the snowmobilers.) Even if it gets cooler my hope is we can stay dry. We can put more clothes on but once it is too wet there is […]
I am having a hard time to believe that the middle of October has arrived. I agree that time goes fast but it seems like from August on, it really speeds up! After a great long weekend, we have moved into a busy week. I started off with an extra […]
The air feels like fall, and we have had a couple of hard frosts, so I think we are officially into our next season. I do hope we can enjoy some further dry weather. I started to cut my grass over the weekend but didn’t have enough time to finish. […]
I cannot believe September is over! Time is flying by and I am afraid our summer weather is going to leave us. I ended up not feeling great last week but pushed my way through because we had a cattle sale. I had some good “personal assistants” that really made […]
The air is certainly feeling like Fall but as I peaked at the weather for the week it looks like we can expect some great daytime temperatures. I am pleased about that because I think I need another month of good weather. We tackled a few jobs over the weekend, […]
Wow! This weather is incredible, and I am enjoying every minute of it. A dry fall is something that all farmers desire. The work you need to accomplish requires some dry days and we all know that we had far too many wet days this spring and summer. The problem […]
Now that summer has arrived everyone has a list a mile long! It is looking like some great weather ahead. We have hopes of making some square bales this week. It is always a tense time since no one likes to make square bales because they are a lot of […]
On Friday I was lucky enough to meet one of my summer students from the early 90’s for coffee! We’ve stayed in touch, but it was nice to see her face to face. She was a “town girl” when she came to work for me, so the tasks were all […]
Well, it has been a bit of a whirlwind for me this past week. The geese moved into the Research Station in a big way, so we harvested in a quick fashion. They were destroying our small plots very quickly. I can honestly say that 2024 has been a struggle every […]
