You all can go camping in the rain and cold this long weekend. Iโll just be here enjoying the clank of the headlockers and the sound of the rain on the tin roof.
PS new seed grass is enjoying the rain too!!

Are we in a drought already and just donโt know it yet?
Apr 29
A significant heatwave is expected in the PNW, particularly in British Columbia. Saturday, Sunday and Monday should be the hottest days.
We should have 30ยฐC in Metro Vancouver [not in Vancouver itself, of course] and 35ยฐC is not out of the question in Lytton or Ashcroft. #BCstorm

What if the next 20 years are as good to cow calf operators as the last 20 were to crop operators?

348 million acres of farmland was rented out in the USA in 2024, 79% was from non-farmers.
โHere's what stands out: 95% of those rented acres are fully paid off. The average non-farming landlord is 69 years old, and more than a third are 75 or older. This older generation controls more than 40% of the acreage, rent, and total asset value while carrying just 20% of the debt.โ
How could young people get into farming or young farmers expand?

"Over the coming months, Canadians will notice gradual but persistent increases across multiple categories. It will start with produce, move into meat and dairy, and eventually affect staples and packaged goods. The changes may appear modest at first, but they will accumulate."

The farm off of mom and dad
They give you $2 million.
You got 20 minutes to spend it or it's gone.
Can't buy cars, planes, yachts, or houses.
No gold or diamonds either.
What you buying?
