On a road trip and a farm tour accidental happened - touring Fair Oaks Farm in Indiana, maybe the best ag education facility in NA. Thanks @Cathy_Lennon @foodandfarming and @A_Finnamore for humouring me. Hundreds of thousands of visitors learning about dairy, pigs and grain.

Why attend @IFAJ congresses? I met someone re possible partnership at @CdnFarmWriters conference 2024; met a possible musician & guest speaker for the same conference; met many of my current writers; met someone who may write for me in the future. Also: hugs from friends.

What an excellent @TheCurrentCBC show today from N.S. I’ve laughed, marveled and cried… sometimes all during the same story.

@Wix Hi, if I purchase a two year Unlimited Premium Plan, does that also extend ownership of my domain for two years? Thx.

The NFL has spent two years preparing the grass for tonight's field at the Super Bowl.

The grass was grown at a local sod farm in Phoenix.

It was installed two weeks ago, and the field has been rolled out each morning for daily sunshine.

Total cost = $800,000

[Allison Finnamore @A_Finnamore]

@karen_willchuk @RedTory1 It’s been sold.

3. Check in on your mental health. It's a busy time for Ag. Have you taken a moment to check in with yourself and think about what you need?

[DoMoreAg @domoreag]

Here are a few of things you can do for #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek:

1. Learn more about mental health by reading up or joining a workshop: https://t.co/4vqGkmiSP0

2. Talk about mental health with loved ones, friends, neighbours, and coworkers.
