Some attempts at frost prevention this morning, just too close for comfort

Bring on some heat, veg crops are off to the races!

Every time I weld whoever is around hears, “Do you know the difference between a welder and a farmer? Welders don’t think they can farm.”

After over 130mm of rain a big thanks to @ZimmerAir for coming to the area today to help get some crop protection products on

A little top dressing today, and a great visit with one of the manufacturer reps on the weekend (@EjMcMillan). And with another lot of fertilizer delivered today we work with some great people in cadag

Slightly frustrating…..you leave a lane and people still drive equipment in others fields.

Truly lucky to be able to work in such a wonderful industry #cndagday

One of the largest potatoes I think we’ve found on the farm

If there was ever a sign telling me to watch myself at home, this is definitely it

By far the best part of irrigating is the free car wash

Looks like I’ll ask someone else to be sticking their hands around that tile outlet……

Dad: Growing onions is like an art form. Me: Thats good, be the only form where 90% of the time my work wouldn’t be considered abstract, and you can see what I was trying to do. Dad: *silence

A sure sign that spring is getting close.

Happy #CdnAgDay its always great day to see all the crops and livestock produced in Canada.

So calling the yard when you’re harvesting to say, “I’m noticing some leeks on the harvester” without specifying the vegetable is “not funny”

Installing a Yara nitrabor trial today, excited to see the results in the fall

Everything looks better after a little rain. Didn’t get a chance to spread rye in the fall after potatoes, spring broadcast barley created a nice cover to planting.
