    Celebrating Life
    Mar 6 2026
    This afternoon I travelled to Southampton to celebrate the life of a teaching colleague, Pat Joynt. This episode was recorded in the bank barn while sitting with the calves.

    The Present...until the 6:45 min mark. Noticing the small stuff in life. Calves, a barn cat, and hockey on the radio.

    The Past...from 6:45 to 16:47 min. Thinking about the joyous life of Pat Joynt and the unique community that existed in the high school where I taught.

    The Future...from the 16:47 min mark. It's time to start thinking about tomorrow. I call what I do each day the essential-ordinary. There is a lot to be said for finding joy in thoughts of tomorrow. As we all know tomorrow will be the new present, before living again as the next memory in the new past.

    Mouse Attack + Marketing Wheat + Getting The Bull Outside
    Mar 4 2026
    We get the sugar maple seeds planted, and a mouse helps to make things interesting in the seeding room. I worked on marketing my hard red winter wheat using an "everybody needs to win" approach. Teddy the bull sees the great outdoors for the first time since he got here.

  • Flint The Cow Suddenly Goes Psycho + The Organic History Of One Field Including Cover Crops

    Flint The Cow Suddenly Goes Psycho + The Organic History Of One Field Including Cover Crops
    Feb 27 2026
    I learned some lessons when Flint the cow suddenly became maximally aggressive when a strange person entered the bank barn.
    Also, it is a requirement of organic certification to maintain field histories. The added bonus is you can look back on a field and really get a sense what worked and what didn't. I discuss the challenges presented when cropping this field and some of the steps I have taken so far with crop rotations and cover crops.
