Holiday Gift Giving for the Farmer Homesteader and Property Owners in Your Life

Merridale Farms is all about guiding nature to produce high-quality, all-natural products that are farm crafted cider (and other spirits) made with heritage cider apples, slowly fermenting the juice from the first apple pressing.

At Merridale they work with nature, work to reduce their environmental footprint and also strive to be a force for good both in the environment and in their community.

For more on Merridale Farms and the business of cider, please see the November-December 2022 issue of Small Farm Canada.

Did this grain bin actually make money… or did it just feel like it did?

I break down the real cost, payback, and financial performance of a grain bin using actual 2025 corn prices, real payments, and real math. We walk through when the bin paid, when it didn’t, and why timing matters when storing grain.

This isn’t theory — this is a full-year look at cost of ownership, cost of carry, harvest pricing, and test weight, all laid out on the whiteboard so you can run the numbers for your own farm.
