Did you know 89% of the feed cattle ingest throughout their lifetime is not human edible? Only 11% of cattle feed is in direct competition with human edible food, and that consists mostly of corn which offers little digestible protein to humans.

Check out this comparison of just a few things you receive from eating beef that was fed corn vs. what you get from corn.

Even when the creek dries up and the grass is gone, we are blessed.

Even when the calves are lean and the skies are cloudless, we are blessed.

Even when the decisions are hard and the future is unknown, we are blessed.

Even when we are painted the villian, and power and greed threaten to destroy us, we are blessed.

We are blessed to live a life so few will ever experience, much less love or understand.

We will just keep going, sometimes with our backs to the wall, and sometimes with our knees on the ground, but always knowing we are truly blessed.

"I see you. Not the flashing lights or the giant tires. I see the farmer. I see you looking back every three seconds, trying to get over because I’ve been following you for three km and you worry I’m getting angry and impatient. I see you look back twice as fast because the oncoming traffic is gone but we’re coming up on a intersection and you hope I know that. You hope I know there’s already two crosses on the SW corner of that 4 way because the car in front of me didn’t and they flew by you right in the middle of it. Well I see you, and I see the standing water in the fields and I see it’s quarter to 7 and you’re still at work while I’m on my way home to see my family on a Friday night. You're not in my way; I’m in the middle of your office and your work and your livelihood. I’ll follow you all the way home, I don’t mind. It gives me time to slow down and breathe. Everyone can benefit from a few minutes spent behind that combine."

Here’s to you.. to people who don’t fully understand what “Harvest Time” really means.

Harvest is one of the most important aspects of farming and the worlds food production. Harvest is stressful. Harvest is unpredictable. Harvest is harvest.

The crops that we planted in the spring have been constantly checked, sprayed, and checked again. Now they have matured, it’s go time. That’s means that harvesting the crops comes before anything and everything. And yes, that means sacrifices.

We as farmers can only predict so much. We can’t predict the exact day that our crops will be ready, how they will yield, if we will get rained out, or how the day is going to go.

Some days harvest can run smooth but others its a constant up hill battle. This can entail, repairs on your equipment, crawling inside of the combine and hand picking the plugged crop out, fires, driving all over Alberta to find the part you need, not having the crew you need to take the crop off or basically anything else.

So please, be patient when you see the million dollar convoy driving down the highway!

Be aware of our life style, it’s not easy!

Be appreciative of the farmers and their families because this time of year they’re running on minimal sleep!

I am very thankful for the farming community and all their hard work!

Happy Harvest everyone! 🌾
