Farm Families Honoured in Rosebud

Alberta families who have farmed or ranched the same land for 100 years or more are being recognized through the province’s Century Farm and Ranch Awards. Almost 1600 farm families have been honoured since the inception of the award in 1993. Since 2013, summer recognition events have been held throughout rural Alberta to bring recipients together.

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.
