Everyone can use a little companionship on a long day at the end of a busy farming season. So Sammy joined John for a day in the combine earlier this week. This video is a compilation of our corn combine process seen from her eyes. My only question is this….Why was Sammy allowed to drive the combine and I wasn’t allowed to drive the tractor?! You can visit “Back In The Combine Again” to see another video of our grain corn combine in action.

After numerous breakdowns and trips all across Southern Ontario to find parts for our rather antique combine, John is finally back in the combine again. Our grain corn harvest is moving along nicely now, but there are a lot of acres to harvest before the weather turns. You can visit “The Compelling Combine” to see another video of our grain corn combine in action.
Grab your broomstick and fly with me over our spooky pumpkin patches! And just in case you’re not a witch and don’t have a broomstick, you can always stop by the farm to grab your last minute pumpkins to add to your scary Halloween décor. If you need inspiration for carving your pumpkins you can visit “Jack-O’-Lanterns.”
Welcome to day 5 of “Ontario Agriculture Week” where we celebrate Ontario farms and the bounty of food grown in Ontario. We are proud to be the faces behind the food on your table. There is a wide variety of jobs to complete and we all have our areas of expertise. From fieldwork to storing potatoes, from stocking the farm stand to providing customer care in the office, you can be certain that we do what we do because we love farming. Even Riley works during the busy harvest offering companionship as he tags along in the tractors! You can visit “The Faces Of Our Farm” subcategory in The Common-Tater to learn more about who we are and what we do.
Welcome to day 3 of “Ontario Agriculture Week” where we celebrate Ontario farms and the bounty of food grown in Ontario. This video of the harvest was filmed last week when we were digging russet potatoes. We own 240 acres on the home farm, and somehow we all ended up in the exact same little patch of land jockeying for positions. RJ is running the potato harvester, John is working the windrower, Curtis is bringing an empty truck for the harvester to fill with potatoes, and I use my little Defender to boot around the farm capturing footage for our website and social media.
I’m not sure who is going the wrong way here, but I think it might be Johnny in the windrower. And as for that annoying squeak in the audio, I also think it’s Johnny in the windrower. (Do you see the pattern here…?!) Rest assured there were no collisions, and the potato harvest continues to move forward at full throttle. You can visit the “Video” subcategory in The Common-Tater to see many more videos taken at our farm. |
