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

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 ow.ly/fzcZ50HTfXv #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

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

I should probably LET IT GO, but this FROZEN water in the farmhouse situation we got going is starting to get to me! I guess it’ll be better IN SUMMER but it’s officially official… our house is a bit of a FIXER UPPER! #FarmLife #Winter #FrozenPuns

Every Thursday my father-in-law goes to town and buys us a bag of milk! He leaves it in his trusty “delivery box” by the house and we happily collect it before the day’s end. It’s such a nice gesture and it always makes me smile 👍😀 #FarmLife #AgTwitter

My dad, who sadly passed away six months ago, was one of my biggest supporters! He was always calling and leaving voicemails with cheerful messages that meant so much. I thought I'd share some of his words as we continue the conversation on #MentalHealth today!
