Special day yesterday- I received the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal for contributions to agriculture and making Saskatchewan a better place. I was especially proud to bring my daughter, Ivy, with me - loved sharing this day with her. #SustainableSK #CdnAg

For #Plant23 we were 65% more efficient on machines & 14% more efficient with our team's time. Logistical efficiencies, planning strategies & mother nature being cooperative helped us complete seeding in 19 days from key on to key off. What data are you tracking during seeding?

Maybe now would be a good time to implement a healthy tax credit..... Track healthcare visits and the less you use the bigger the credit. Don't take the vaccine and end up in ICU with covid, not onlylose credit, write a cheque for the visit. IE preventative maintenance?

As #harvest22 comes to a close, it's easy to start business planning for next year. Instead, I always get my team to do a harvest debrief -- what did we learn, what can we do better, what were our wins. Does your farm do a debrief? What do you dive into?

Is 'large farm' a dirty phrase? As a ‘large farm’, HGV is still a family farm. We employ 15 people & give back to the local community. It's because of our size that we’re able to buy equipment & implement technologies that help us be more sustainable.
