Sheep Farming Vlog: Will Our Crops Survive?!

Video: Sheep Farming Vlog: Will Our Crops Survive?!

Today at Ewetopia Farms, after a hot and steamy morning of doing chores, we head out to the fields to see how our crops are doing after having such a long period with no rain at a critical time of year. Farmer's rely heavily on getting the right amount of moisture for crops to survive. Droughts can make or break a farmer not only in decreased income due to lost input costs and grain sales but also in not having enough to feed your sheep for the year. This could result in having to sell sheep to market to prevent starvation. We had a great rain last night, so we wanted to see how the crops responded to the moisture and to set up a plan to monitor its progress over the next few weeks and months.

Sheep and sheep farming is our passion and we hope that the love we have for what we do is obvious to you the viewers. Our operation is a large scale, registered Suffolk and Poll Dorset sheep farm combining the best of pasture and confinement to manage the flock for maximum comfort, minimal stress, and producing a consistent, very high quality product. Our focus is on providing breeding stock for sale to other sheep producers. All our sheep are treated with the utmost compassion which I think will become evident as you join us on our daily rounds on our working sheep farm in eastern Ontario, Canada.

I hope you enjoy this video. If you would like to follow along with us and experience life on a real live sheep farm on a daily basis, please subscribe so that you don't miss a single episode!
