Hey! Where did our dairy barn go? It was there when we went to bed last night. Can’t even see across the road on the farm today! Squalls, snow, whiteouts… Spring can come any time now 😉 #FarmLife #GreyCounty #OwenSound #SnowenSound #ONStorm

@FCCagriculture @ADAMA_CAN @Sandi_Knight @ElaineFroese Thanks for the shout out! Taking care of our mental health is a daily act. I’m glad we’re continuing to have this conversation in the farm space. I think it’s more important now than ever! #FarmerMentalHealth #KeepTheConversationGoing #AgTwitter

When Denis St. Pierre called the farmer mental health hotline, he spoke to a global operator "who admitted she didn’t know much about farming." The hotline is a partnership between the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and LifeWorks https://t.co/dYmn1TNQ6w #OntFarmerNews #OntAg

Our grain bins photographed at night under a starry sky. For the second photo, I used my phone's flashlight to briefly highlight the tree in the foreground during a long-exposure shot.

Hey #AgTwitter! Does anyone know how much farmland is selling for per acre in Innisfil, Ontario? Or near Elora, Ontario?

No, I am not looking to buy :) I'm actually #AskingForAFriend

@esta_kelly It was a dream for sure! I love it still.

[C Denard, BA, MSc @CowSpotComm]

Facebook just reminded me that nine years ago we renovated our farmhouse to add a new mudroom and entranceway! My fave part was, and still is, the wall and pocket door that hide the dirty, smelly barn clothes from the main entrance! #FarmLife #ThisOldHouse
