If any farms or ag businesses could use some help, there's a lot of folks looking for ag work with post-graduate or student visas. DM me for more info or tips. We have plenty of workers and more of their friends keep applying.

Public wheat breeding works! Growers must keep supporting innovative Canadian public wheat breeding programs. In addition to these returns on investments, these public breeding programs train 100s of HQPs!

Dotted blazing star is one of Alberta’s showiest wildflowers, blooming in dry grasslands & badlands in July–August. Its deep roots (up to 4.5 m!) help it survive drought & support pollinators like bees & butterflies. #alberta #grasslands #wildflowers
