Video: Best of 2022 - Dairy Farming in Saskatchewan

From seeding to harvesting, we are always busy on our family dairy farm in Saskatchewan,Canada.

We do our best to make quality feed for our cows so they stay healthy and provide the best quality milk (real from a cow).

This year was the first time trying tile drainage on one field. We already noticed how much dryer it is in the low spots and we hope that it improves the salinity issues over time.

It was another dry year but we had much better yields than last year and are grateful that we were able get enough feed.
