DFO’s Board Chair Murray Sherk, Board Member Nick Thurler and CEO Cheryl Smith gathered with other local dignitaries and Lactalis Canada representatives to celebrate what the family started in 1891 and recognize the positive impact they’ve had on the Canadian food manufacturing sector.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
