Hummingbirds!

 This lady lives in a Hummingbird fly zone. As they migrated, about 20 of them were in her yard. She took the little red dish and filled it with sugar water.

The Woman is Abagail Alfano of Pine, Louisiana - she has been studying them daily and one morning put the cup from the feeder, with water in it, in her hand; as they had gotten used to her standing by the feeder they came over to her hand. She says in touching they are as light as a feather. Abagail also said, 'if she had known her husband was taking pictures she would have put on makeup.'

Family Farmers wants to extend our most sincere congratulations to Paul Beingessner, who was recently awarded an honorary life membership by the Saskatchewan Institute of Agrologists.  He joins a pretty select group of people who have contributed greatly to the agriculture scene here in Saskatchewan.  Check out their website for a full list of those who have been honored over the years.  Again, congratulations Paul, it is a well deserved award.

Paul Beingessner

While I don't expect to get dragged through the court system anytime soon, I did get an inkling last week of how Percy Schmeiser must have felt when he got that first letter from Monsanto. Mine came in the form of a letter from Viterra, that amalgam of the once-farmer-owned prairie grain companies. It began politely enough, thanking me for my business, but soon turned ugly. Viterra, it seems, is about to become the Monsanto of durum.

Greenwater Report

We left Sandy ’s place west of Didsbury on Friday morning. It snowed there all day Thursday, and I had to shovel about six inches of snow off the car. By the time we got to Didsbury there was no snow in sight, and the roads were dry. The brunt of the storm seems to have hit south and west of there; one place apparently got about 50 centimeters of the white stuff. Good for stretching out the ski season.

Qu'Appelle Calling

He doesn't miss too many notes, but thing is, they aren't usually the RIGHT ones. To say the blend of voices is eclectic may be the politest thing that one can come up with. Usually at 5:30 am there is at least one human shouting out the window to SHUSH UP.
