Yesterday we lost the one we call Dad, Grandpa and Orville. A man who would do anything for anyone, the man if it weren’t for him we wouldn’t be farming today. We know you will be farming right next to us as we continue on your passion for cows and driving tractors, love you lots

Does anyone have an up to date 2022 Ag custom work rate guide for Southern Ontario? Considering what the cost of fuel and machinery is now…just wondering what the consensus is on what average rates should charged for this year?

Ag X? Are we seriously living in such an uncommitted world these days..that a hand shake or verbal agreement deal is long gone? And if a deal can’t be fulfilled..is it too much to ask to be given the courtesy to be told that things changed without being ghosted? Like really?🤷‍♂️
