It is another beautiful day on the farm. Last night it was music to our hears hearing the rain come down in the night. What a perfect routine, sunny all day, rain at night and the plants just grow, grow, grow.
Yesterday I had an interesting experience. I was a witness for the Standing Committee on Agriculture. There were about 15 people who were witnesses, we each had 7 minutes to speak. Once we spoke the MP's asked us questions. It was hard because there are so many issues and it is difficult sometimes to articulate them and to think of what are the best strategies for moving forward. The topic for feedback was Young Farmers and the Future of Agriculture.
It will be interesting to see what the committee recommends from their consultations.
Tonight the film DIRT is showing in Truro. After the drop in Hammonds Plains this evening I will scoot to Truro for the movie. Hopefully there will be some people out to see it. It has shown in Truro a few times already so we;ll see.
Today I am catching up on a large pile of papers in the office here. Last night Ron was spreading manure before the land is cultivated likely in the next day or so. Calvin is seeding and Gerald is digging out kale stalks so we can cultivate where it was planted.
Justine and Conall are likely into NB by now on their trip to Ontario. What a wonderful day to be starting an adventure!
Enjoy your day!
