June 11 and we just had another frost. What a year!!

It seems to me in this supply management "debate" there is alot of well dressed people in suits telling people wearing coveralls with manure on them, that they are overpaid, inefficient, and greedy. #supplymanagement #dairy #isupportcanadiandairy

So the cows and I had a conversation the other day. I said "hey girls, we got a quota cut, time to ease back on the production." Apparently they didn't listen

This little turd decided to escape and figured the side of the road was a good place for a nap. Good thing we live in the middle of nowhere. She got a truck ride out of it though

We’ve gone public with our message, but it’s not getting through. Health Canada and PHAC still insisting that we choose low fat dairy, lean meats, or even better, a “plant-based diet” Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…

I’d be interested to know how many of the people commenting to dismantle SM have their jobs protected in some way? Don’t hate on DFC / PLC just because we are the only #Ag industry to be organized and fighting for a fair price for our product.

Sunrise, Sunscreen, Sunset, repeat! #paleskinproblems

Here are the prices of some other dairy products, in $CDN, for the same time frame: Butter (kg) CAN: $9.34 USA: $10.77 Cheddar (kg) CAN: $13.98 USA: %14.81 Cream(L) CAN: $4.09 USA: $4.27 Yogurt (kg) CAN: $4.97 USA: $6.62 #supplymanagement doesn't inflate prices. 11/15

If today someone threatens to hurt you if you don’t do as they say&you capitulate-how do you know they won’t threaten you again tomorrow?Now say this is your next door neighbor who you trusted as your best friend. What happens to the trust?What happens to the relationship? #NAFTA

A very insightful commentary on supply management. Well worth a read. People who are adamantly against SM generally only look at economics. This helps tell the whole story. #dairy thechronicleherald.ca/business/comme…

Puzzled when activists gripe that animal ag polices itself. Who else is supposed to do it? Do we ask school teachers to regulate doctors or accountants to regulate veterinarians? No matter what industry, regulations should be written by people WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT

Manger flood = alot of needless damned work

My last night in Florida for Vacation19. The girls have a couple more days to enjoy the pool and the weather. It has been a great recharge of the farmer batteries.

On the bridge headed to #2019PEI Holstein Canada convention.

🎶Take me down to the winterkill city where the grass isn't green and the girls probably aren't pretty🎶

Kawhi you gotta break my heart?

Good news: No milk being dumped in Ontario this weekend. Which means everyone in the supply chain has made the necessary adjustments. For now. The future is still unpredictable

I have 2 NH T6050 tractor air seats that are more or less screwed (air bags don't hold air, backrest busted) looking at replacing them. Has anyone replaced a seat? Aftermarket or OEM?

@foodprofessor has churned up some trouble with #buttergate, claiming that Canadian butter (DFC / PLC) is now harder at room temperature, claiming this is driven by the practice of palm oil feeding in the dairy industry. There is a lot to unpack here, so this will be a 🧵 1/12
