Always happy to have company in the field.
9 years ago today doctors found a brain tumour in this guy. They successfully removed it, & it was non-cancerous. Thinking about it always puts my life in perspective real fast. Shout out to

Happy 80th birthday to my dad Bill the hardest working farmer in know.
He is not afraid of a chainsaw or shovel when there’s work to be done.
He says he can’t sit down or he might not get back up 💪 🎂
This picture of sunshine, 24% corn & no mud on the tires is for all the people that continue to tell me it’s too early for corn & there’s lots of great weather coming yet this fall.
(it’s fine by me if their right)

Deep thoughts from the buggy tractor seat this morning. Keeping corn away from a class 8 combine with a 12 row head,
it helps to have 3 coffees before lunch, a good radio station & a pinch of ADHD

No words can express how saddened we are to lose Mike Snobelen.
He wasn’t my Dad, but he treated me like one of his own
He was a great neighbour & best friend to many

Drive 6,845.9km to east coast with camper for 16 nights…
Challenge accepted & Mission accomplished 💪

Every striptiller & notiller should drive their neighbours plow for a week and remind themself how handsdown awesome their striptill/notill program is.

the never ending harvest.
My New Years resolution is to keep my posture up to remain the tallest in our household for another year. 👍
He’s 12yrs old & looking in the fridge for more food.
Been 20yrs since I had a snowmobile.
I had joked it would be good for my boys to learn that snowmobiles are always broken & a bad idea
#MissionAccomplished
-recoil rope broke
-rope went into cooling fan
-broke fan - fan broke shroud
-recoil then melted itself and stalled engine

Hail storm shredded some corn leaves too. From what I can find in the dark is the most damage is between 9 mile river and Dungannon Road. Time to go back to bed.

Yesterday we said goodbye to a genuine person.
I had the privilege to call John my brother in law.
He will be missed by our family and the “entire Bayfield area communities”.
Gone way too soon.

This afternoon we installed a buddy seat in the buggy tractor. Installed, tested and approved.
Another winter project out of the way.

Mixed emotions dismantling this silo room, so many hours spent here. That wheelbarrow has a million miles on it loaded with cobmeal🌽💪🥩
I think it might make good flower bed or something🤔
