Spreading 700 tonne of woodash today on a barley field. A waste product from renewable energy production at Thunder Bay Pulp and Paper is a valuable nutrition source for my crops. #recycling

My son cutting the last field of alfalfa / grass for our good neighbors @AndyBrekveld @PeggyBrekveld after they had some equipment issues. Most delayed growing season in memory - July 1 and still no blooms in alfalfa. This will still make good dairy feed. #twoweekslate #silage22

Thunder Bay area farmers dealing with losses and delays due to cold, snowy spring | CBC News

Grateful for the recognition of mental health & wellness as a priority for our agriculture Ministers across 🇨🇦.
Last month I joined my colleagues across the country to discuss several key issues including the importance of supporting the #mentalhealth of Canada’s farmers. Help is available & I want every farmer to know that it’s ok to reach out & ask for it. #OntAg

Picked a nice autumn day for Molly and I to get busy with some nutrient recycling. Three spreaders moves manure quick. Thanks @AndyBrekveld

Last week @LisaThompsonMPP came and listened to farmers in #ThunderBay, #RainyRiver and heard how the drought was affecting them. This announcement of assistance for wells - I have already had texts from smiling farmers. Thank you Minister. #farmnorth #ontag
OFA greatly appreciates our provincial government for its efforts to ensure our farmers in Northwestern Ontario are supported during these difficult times. Ontario will be providing up to $15,000 per eligible farm for permanent water projects. Read more below 👇

Love our 8920!!
It was 1997....the 8000’s were two years old...the boys in Racine decided to tweak a couple things, subtley redesign a couple thing, and then released these rigs that will be cherished forever. I’ll always remember those mirrors when they were unveiled! HAPPY 8-9-20 Everybody!!
