[email protected] plan is to put together an "audio journal" for the coming year. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to farm, and have been doing so for quite a number of years now. When my farming life is over, I want to remember some of the details that I'm sure would otherwise be forgotten. And so here it is, the first episode.I've decided not to edit very much, if at all, and that way I will be more likely to stick with it throughout the year. When I think about past years and how busy farming can get, I really hope that I can keep this up! The idea is to include just the main issues that are occupying my brain.This episode includes some typical challenges on the farm:-Frozen water lines in the barn-Problems with my on farm research sponsored by the Ecological Farmers Association of Ontario (EFAO)-Balancing farm work with my contracting businessFind your place in the world, dig in, and take responsibility from there. - Gary SnyderFind your place in the world.
