To be honest, I am a little bit stressed out and sad about the lack of hay I have made. I held off cutting until Friday night because we had three inches of rain at my place Sunday and Monday. The tires of the tractor are still wet going across […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
We are all happy that we have more hay to cut this year, but now the weather needs to co-operate to allow us to get it baled up! Last week, the hay was not drying quickly at all, and I was very frustrated. Finally, by Friday was able to bale […]
July has arrived and our long weekend is already over. Though the weather was decent for the weekend, I am still longing for those warm summer nights. Instead, we are still packing on sweatshirts and longer pants. I sure am counting on a long, beautiful fall. My mom and I […]
I can barely grasp it is the end of June. I planned to start cutting hay over the weekend, but the weather changed my mind on that. I would have had to bundle up cutting on Sunday because it certainly wasn’t a warm day. I think we are so thankful […]
Wow — summer has arrived in a big way! We went from sweatshirts on Saturday to as little outerwear as possible on Sunday. We shall not complain — we need this! It is amazing how much growth we have seen in all our plots over the weekend. Now, as usually […]
Thank you to those who reached out wondering why I missed a week of Moos. I didn’t! It was the long weekend, so I decided to write my column on Monday night. It is never early when I do it but was all proud to have it completed since short […]
I am not quite sure how long ago this was now, but Wendy Judson tracked me down and asked me if I would consider sitting on the Riverside Foundation Board. She was looking to step down and wanted to have someone from Emo continue on the board. I thought about […]
Well, it is officially the latest I have ever been without seed in the ground at the Research Station. Things like cereals, canola, flax, peas see yields losses each day after May 15. Things like soybeans and corn are planted a bit later here to avoid frost so there may […]
Hats off to the Rainy River Federation of Agriculture for organizing and hosting a wonderful Ag Day this past Saturday. For those of you that didn’t take time – you really missed out! The event will only grow bigger every year now that things are back on track. Cauls Catering […]
Well, I made the mistake of looking at the weather for next week thinking that we are going to be closer to getting on land. I just hope the predictions are wrong. May makes me think of warm sunshine and green grass. Hopefully by the end of the week that […]
I don’t ever remember stopping a cattle sale for lightening, but we did this past Saturday. What a week of weather and it doesn’t sound like we are through it all yet. To say this has been a tough spring in an understatement. Our springtime calvers are fighting every day […]
I do not know how the rest of you felt but it seemed like we should be watching for Rudolph not the Easter Bunny. I have set up my Easter Hunt with snow on the ground before, but I am quite sure that was when Easter landed in March. Some […]
