Island farmer of potatoes, soybeans, and barley. More happy than hapless most days!

@raeintheworld As a single potato farmer this tweet not only gives me hope for the world but myself!!

@SpudSmartMag SpudsmartMag headlines and articles consistently take the most negative and spectacular side on this topic. This is a blatant promotional article designed for fearmongering and the continuation of an arbitrary trade rule. Shame on you!

@clintwfischer My sister gave me a button when I was 13.. “ A little is alot if it’s all you got”
Truth!

@spuddoc Thank you, credit to gps and the person I am renting the land from!

@spuddoc Love that pic!!

@PleasantPork Speaking from firsthand experience on this issue, the sad reality is the best management plane which facilitates eradication of spores is growing non susceptible varieties in those infected fields. Otherwise the spores exist 50-75 years.

@DrNadiaChaudhri I look for your updates several times a day, thank you for sharing with this farmer on the east coast.
Sending love to you three.

Last pass of planting 2021, we aren’t the prettiest or the smartest, after 3 tractors, 2 windshields, 2 hydraulic motors, numerous moments of contemplating life choices….” That all she wrote folks!”

[Duane MacDonald @macdonald_dk]

@SkylerBluePEI Thanks big wheel, will try to enjoy it!

[Duane MacDonald @macdonald_dk]

Crop 2021 begins, this piece of ground always makes me smile. #hopelesslyoptimistic

Another day in #2020crop working the home farm. Take a moment today to remember why you do what you do, this is it for me. #favouriteplaceonearth #peifarmer #reddirt #peipotatoes #johndeere #lemken

@Agproudmary Thanks for the reminder, definitely miss the trips to the field with a good friend.

Last night I had an epiphany... workboots bought last September, world went to hell..... good riddance spawn of Satan, apologies to all of you! #WhateverItTakes #betterdaysahead, #humansacrificenext

[Duane MacDonald @macdonald_dk]

@kemurray33 Yes, will take both totes, not sure if i can pick them up today though

[Duane MacDonald @macdonald_dk]

@kemurray33 Hi Kevin, do you still have the barley?

[Duane MacDonald @macdonald_dk]

This morning Angus got behind the wheel of the loader. He was all smiles as we drove out the lane and back. As we turned at the end of the lane a car drove by the smile disappeared “ Do you thinj they will call the cops???” #somuchtolearn, #farmingisfun

There are many mornings as a farmer when stepping outside and starting your day fills you with excitement and possibilities... loading potatoes at 5:30am in 50km/hr winds with -28 windchill unfortunately challenges that optimism. #justanotherdayinparadise
