Just a few days ago the government was saying that it was the "farmer's problem" but now that we are in for another night of "severe cold weather and rain warning" I gather they have realized that starving live stock is a national food security issue-farmers are unable to plant crops too - going...

Last week I posted pictures of a farm we wanted and then found out it was under contract already. We missed that one by one day. So we kept looking and stumbled onto something better! More acreage (50) but the house is still an unfinished one. It's like way way out in the boonies... lol. We love...

Just been back a few days from two weeks in Alberta & Saskatchewan Canada. Crops in North Central Saskatchewan are bad, rain rain rain. My uncle planted only two of six quarter sections he has. In a very late night talk he said he'd only gotten decent crops off in two of the last six years. In...
