Next week #AgDroneSchool will be in Biggar, Saskatchewan. Our schools will be safe, so we are taking reservations for eight Alberta locations the following weeks. Join us for two days of practical & regulatory training on farm drone use. https://t.co/XXUNf8gdxg

Sometimes its good to just sit on a fence and hang out with the furry ones.

Finished one out of 2 years, and the program has been phenomenal. Learning traditional and emerging trends and practices, while supported by an incredible faculty. Very happy I chose this school!

I left behind the army, but apparently it has followed me to agriculture! Boss just got a new 6x6 so we can haul the hay in from the fields. She runs like a dream!

[DJ McKinnon @dj_mckinnon]

Its a great day for hay! #agriculture #farming #farmlife

[DJ McKinnon @dj_mckinnon]

Gotta love when the cows wanna say hi! No treats or food needed! Haha

[DJ McKinnon @dj_mckinnon]

Some days when you're feeling down, you need sunshine and to take your frustrations out on something. Today I'm taking it out on dirt!
Happy farming y'all!

Some days are incredible. Some days its hard to put one foot in front of the other. I encourage everyone to make sure you take a look at yourself from time to time and focus on your own mental welfare. It may not always be an easy thing, but it is important as seed in the ground

[DJ McKinnon @dj_mckinnon]

I've had conversations with folks where they try and tell me that instead of raising animals for slaughter, we should just eat their food ourselves. This highlights well that we just CANT do that, and instead use it to produce something healthy and nutritious for us to eat.

Since I got my RPAS basic Operations license last week, I've spent nearly every moment learning about their capabilities and the software that runs them. They can make such a huge impact on a farm by not only increasing ROI per acre, but the time that can be saved for the farmer!

[DJ McKinnon @dj_mckinnon]

While it may be a small accomplishment to some... at 33 years old I am finally learning to drive a standard. Long ways to go but I'm not stalling it as much anymore!
Learn something new folks, even if it's small!

[DJ McKinnon @dj_mckinnon]

Sitting down for the evening to do my #RPAS Ground School through #Landview
Looking forward to the new knowledge and skills! Thanks @LandView_Drones for this opportunity to learn and @KatySopotyk for guiding me to this outstanding company!
