We pushed until the morning hours today to get this last wheat field into the “caterpillar bags” as the kids would call it. The wheat wasn’t dry (about 17%) but there’s rain in the forecast today and we’re running out of time. We’ll dry it next week. Our biggest priority right now is to get the rest of our crop combined.
We’re hoping the rain and snow stay away for us to tackle the canola now.
Hope the sun, wind and warmer conditions come soon to us in the West.
Have a great weekend!!!❤️

Harvest has been long and rather than go on a date, you bring the date to the combine.
They never go as planned 🙃
(Hope this brings a smile to those who have been experiencing poor weather conditions this harvest. Hugs❤️)

It's been a hard harvest for us in Western Canada and stress is at its peak for farmers. When we're faced with challenges I think back to when Matt and I first came back to the farm and how my dad was the one who put mental health as a priority on the farm and for this, we are forever grateful.
He said one sentence that changed my whole perspective on how we farm.
This one is for you dad (who is not on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram so I might have to print it out for him 🙂

This was such a fun interview!!!
If you don’t now Amanda, check out her Instagram account (@Amandaruller). Rob and I chatted with her about her success as an athlete (she is the fittest person I know), what she eats, how she makes those decisions and what is important to her when it comes to good, GMO and organic perceptions and much more.
Did I mention she also won a car on the price is right?!?!

To my best friends.
Do you know how amazing you are?
We’ve been through a lot. The ups and the downs and everything in between. School, graduations, boys (which then turned into fiancés and husbands), pregnancies, kids, jobs (which then turned into careers), moves, deaths, pain, and so many laughs and tears.
That’s why you are more than a friend. You are my sister, partner in crime, my other half, my soul friend. You’ve seen me at my worst, have been there to hold my hand and helped plot crimes against those who did us wrong.
We’ve witnessed each other’s victories and failures. Shared in heartbreaks and disappointments. Comforted each other with hugs, late night phone calls, and texts to get through the pain. We have lifted each other up when we’ve need it the most and have been the cheerleader through our accomplishments and successes.
You’ve been the person who has told me the things I needed to hear. The person who has made me realize I don’t need to put on any fronts and wear masks. The person who has made fun of me when I deserved it and loved me when I didn’t. The person who always knew what to say and when to say it. The person who’s taught me many of life’s greatest lessons. The person who, even with many miles between us, taught me that a true friendship is timeless and we can pick up exactly where we left off.
Thank you for being the testament why quality is better than quantity when it comes to friendships.
Thank you for making me realize that my awkwardness, flaws and scars are the things that make me unique and whole.
Thank you for being a part of my life and letting me be a part of yours.
Thank you for sharing in my happiest moments and for feeling the same.
Thank you for the smiles and the belly laughs you have given me.
Thank you for giving me courage when I needed it and the hope I was looking for.
Thank you for being my rock, my bright light and knowing my deepest secrets and never judging me.
Thank you for being the most beautiful person, inside and out. Thank you for telling me it was going to be okay….and knowing it. Thank you for making this world a better place. Thank you for letting me be me and for you being you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for loving me fiercely.
I love you.

The snow has melted and crossing our fingers and toes the sun comes out, there’s a bit of wind and the rain stays away.
Cheers to a great week ahead and hopefully warmer weather for us in the west.

Is there a difference between an A&W Teen burger (left) and a McDonald's Quarter Pounder (right)? In terms of taste, texture, convenience and maybe your fond childhood memories, you might think yes, there is a big difference. But in terms of hormones, there isn't a heck of a lot, unlike what A&W has led you to believe.
I haven't purchased a Teen Burger or anything from A&W (other than today for demonstration purposes only 😋) since 2013 when their "Better Beef" campaign started. We all saw the misleading and cheeky ads that their beef was somehow "better" because they didn't contain any added hormones. In an indirect way, we were led to believe that hormones were bad for us and so was the beef you were eating at places other than A&W.
On the other hand, McDonald's purchases beef from Canadian farmers who use hormones. The beef in the Quarter Pounder has about 3.5 ng of estrogen in it. The beef in the Teen burger, which was "raised without the use of added hormones" and likely sourced from a different country (uhhhh hemmm, flown across the world) has about 2.5 ng of estrogen.
Is that 1 ng of estrogen a huge difference? Nope, but A&W has you thinking it is. What if I told you that the bun on the burger has about 50,000 ng of estrogen? Or that as a woman, I produce about 500,000 ng of estrogen DAILY or even cabbage, of all things has 5,500 ng. That 1 ng of estrogen seems like a pretty slick marketing tactic now with further context.
What A&W and other food companies promoting "raised without the use of added hormones" are not mentioning is that hormones help us farmers be more environmentally sustainable. In Canada and the US, farmers can give their cattle hormones (or growth promotants) early on to help the animal process their food more efficiently into muscle tissue. If we didn't use these hormones, it would take 12% more cattle, 11% more feed, 10% more land and create 10% more greenhouse gases (aka more manure) to produce the same amount of beef. Those numbers are far more substantial and important than 1 ng of estrogen.
This isn't a post to sway you into not supporting your local farmer who decides to raise his/her cattle based on what they feel is best for their animals and farm. This is to show you that you don't need to fear your food and there is always more to the story than a label. Ultimately, the food you buy is safe. Us farmers, whether we use hormones or not, are proud to raise and grow safe and affordable food for you and your family.
Now I'm going to enjoy my McDonald's 100% Canadian-beef burger and throw the Teen Burger to the farm cats 😋
