The mom of one of our kids friends committed suicide today and one of her kids found her. She leaves 2 teenagers, their father was killed a few years ago. We are heartbroken. Hug your kids and pray for these ones.
Guys, promise me you will do a better job on bin safety. We lost a great farmer today in a horrible accident, my gut hurts and I can’t stop thinking about it.
I was bitching about my margin calls then talked to my daughter with a Ukrainian room mate. Her family is hiding underground in Kiev in case anyone else needs perspective.
A Black man is being criticized for teaching his 11 year old son how to drive his 18 wheeler and letting him drive in between loads. “He needs to stay in a child’s place” others are applauding the father for teaching him a skill.
Helping a neighbor try and finish sunflower harvest there is some snow in the fields in eastern north dakota in case the USDA is wondering why we are storing so much corn in the fields
When I see tractors stuck so bad in mud from obviously working it back and forth until it’s right down to frame I can only assume those guys didn’t have a dad that would absolutely berate u for stupidity
With heavy hearts we thank u folks for the hospitality as we cut our Manitoba time short to head home. Tragically on Wednesday we lost long time employee Alvin Lowe to a heart attack on the job. He was an awesome, dependable friend to have around. He’s gonna be missed by many.
Good bye lunch for our friend Eli today. He helped us out thru harvest. Going back to work at Hydro. He lost his arms touching a live line a couple years ago. Pretty proud of his attitude to over come and rehab from this. Literally learning to live again.
Dad and Grandpa always said the way the wind blows on Good Friday sets the stage for the next 40 days. It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard and it’s usually right
My dad is going to turn 80 in a month.He’s decided it’s time to give up his truck license. He’s probably right but it sure does suck to see the guy I thought could do anything and everything, slowing down.
Farmers are the true conservationists. If we have some land that is suitable for production we care for it and produce safe healthy food. If it’s not suitable for production we can turn it to wetland habitat Very proud of this wetland project I created.
No shortage of opposition and disrespect for the

dissidents on here. I don’t care that u don’t like their message but u better show respect and stand up to support and celebrate their right to say it.
This is not acceptable guys. She is there to help you, show some respect. Ag employers, it is perfectly acceptable to fire a customer. This needs to stop.
Had a customer today ask me if “my mood changes based on what time of the month it is”
Gentlemen - and those who aren’t - your agronomist will be a lot more willing to help if she doesn’t have to wonder what wildly inappropriate question you’re going to ask her that day

Pretty thankful for the great nurses at Campbellford Hospital. They brought dad back twice today before getting him into Peterborough for a pacemaker. He should be in the clear now. 🙏
I’m generally pretty concerned when I see a woman running towards the sprayer. This older lady says spray closer cuz I don’t want any god damned weeds 😂yes ma’am 👌

We lost our next door neighbour Jim Runciman this morning. When we moved here he stopped by and told me “u know there is no point in having neighbours if u don’t use them”. He set a great example. So long old friend.

Customer: UR an a-hole !
Brother: What? It’s not broke

This is the time of the year when the midwest becomes a huge carbon sucking, oxygen producing machine. At the peak of the growing season, says NASA, the Midwest U.S. corn belt is the most productive place on Earth—there's more photosynthesis going on here than even in the Amazon
Lots of convo’s with propane users. I get the frustration. Talk to a friend, a neighbour, another elevator, a competitor. Don’t damage relationships with suppliers, they are in just as bad a place as u r. Relationships are harder to fix than supply.
Tesla Semi was fully loaded with a huge load. You can hear it accelerate like it’s carrying nothing.
The Semi will push us to a sustainable future. Its a game changer.

I saw a total of three at Frito Lay today and fill up each one to the brim.
We lost a great friend and neighbour today. He was still living on his own and farming at 90 so u have to consider it a success story. Still gonna miss that guy and his stories. RIP Bob Pettey
90yo neighbour at pit to our 14yo: U know they will only let me run these tractors on the backroads now.
Borden: yeah I’m stuck with the same set of rules
Both ends of the spectrum folks
Not gonna post the pics of the cops but we had some real great guys in charge today. These farmers aren’t the only ones ready to open things back up. Hope

Moved mom to her final resting place today. Still hard to believe she is gone. This was just over a year ago at Disney with grandkids. You just never know.

Ryan went to the lawyers office this morning to sign the papers on his first farm. That guy swept a lot of grain and tied a lot of rebar to get there. Congrats bud.
