A grand Sunset

Hard to beat throwing away the plow , manure,1 pass tillage, and Plant. Keep it simple growers.

Harvest 2026 !

I got to thinking about an interesting tidbit this week in the History of our Family farm. The Robots have now been milking 14 years and 4 months, or 1 in every 5 days that we have shipped milk,and feeding 1 in every 10 days.I call that progress.

So I took a reading of 1 of our automated control panels today. It was reading a balmy 29.1 degrees at 2:30 in the afternoon sunshine at the barn , the ventilation system was working overtime this November day.

Taking a moment to view the Eastern horizon to view the Hunter’s moon

I haven’t picked cob corn in 35 years, but today was one peach of a day that brings back memories of working with an open station tractor pulling the Corn Picker.Harvest memories, we all have them.

Some final Corn Silage for 2026 !

And it begins again after the 110 mm rain

Good morning, an old fashioned Indian Summer about to arrive .

Water table is high this morning, don’t recall seeing this before

There is no perfect feed storage system. But having watched several videos of Silo filling once again this fall simply reminds me . They are great when we are young and the equipment is new. At my age I have no regrets doing away with them, and working ground level.

Being neighbourly I thought it would be appropriate to stop the Manure spreading in the early afternoon going into Thanksgiving Weekend . One thing about having a Community Graveyard beside the Farm. Stopping work sometimes is the Courtesy thing to do.Enjoy Harvest Celebrations!

Harvest 2026 !

Seems an appropriate evening to test out the Home heating, heating Season has begun here in Eastern Ontario.

Step outside this evening and you can smell the scent of field drying corn in the atmosphere.
