Road signs in Bruce County are remarkably accurate. These two photos taken within 30 feet of each other yesterday.

It is a little known fact that Santa Claus is a proud member of @FarmFoodCareON. Appreciated his help and that of so many others today as we partnered with Stratford Toyota/ Strickland’s Automart to raise funds and collect donations for the Huron Perth Food Distribution Centre.

If you’re in the Stratford area Saturday, drop by to join @FarmFoodCareON, Strickland’s Automart, Santa and so many local farmers for this event in support of the @HCFBDC. It’ll be a great day in support of a great cause.

A funny delivery to the Daynard farm yesterday - vintage @PioneerSeedsCA touques (circa early 1970s) from New Zealand friends who lived/studied here 50 yrs ago. They credit these for helping them survive our winters. Back in NZ, they have no use so they returned them “home”!

I will forever be grateful that Graeme hired me for my first #ontag job (Ontario Cattlemen’s Association) in 1998. It was an incredible opportunity that set the course for my whole career. How lucky I was to have worked for and learned from him. So many will miss him.

For the Kenyan Maasai people, cattle are life—food, wealth, and identity. Herders even have the right to stop traffic so their animals can graze or cross. Their herds wander endlessly across the plains and roadsides, chasing the promise of greener pastures. 🐄🌾

First time touring a coffee farm ☕️🌱
In Kenya, coffee farms now compete with real estate—so production’s falling.
👉 500–600 handpicked cherries = 1kg of coffee
👉 1,000 trees per acre, ~16kg cherries per tree
👉 2 years from planting to beans, then decades of yield.
Cool tour!

At the #IFAJ congress in Nairobi 🇰🇪, a session by the International Seed Federation highlights how quality seed transforms farmers’ lives. In some areas, up to 50% of seed is counterfeit — access to innovation, tech & knowledge is vital. “Without seed, we have no food.” 🌱

Thank you to Hon. Trevor Jones, MPP Ernie Hardeman, and Pennsylvania's Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding for visiting our booth during Day 2 of @outdoorfarmshow. It was a valuable opportunity to discuss shared goals in agriculture.

Random non-ag post: this leather tannery in Morocco dates to the 14th century and uses all natural products for colouring like mint, turmeric and poppies. The white? A combo of lime and pigeon poop. Watching men jump in and out of vats of dye and thinking how hard the job is.

Line ups out the door in Guelph this morning for advanced voting. I think that’s a great sign and hope it’s a positive sign for strong voter turnout overall.

Just watched the leadership debate and think Canadians are lucky to have so many smart passionate people eager to lead this country. Also, Steve Paikin was a great choice for moderator. So composed and well spoken.
