This first pic is from the TSN broadcast of our National Championship in 2004.

Getting a chance to reunite with the guys for the second time in two years for a Hall of Fame induction. This time into the Saskatchewan Hall of Fame. Should be a good day and is already a great break from a grinding harvest. Kids are 100% more impressed with the waterslides than any old sports news...

We're going late trying to finish the wheat today. Northern lights are out to spur us alongside Ursa Major. I see the Big Dipper on the way home every clear harvest night which I like!

It's been a difficult start to harvest but Henrik hasn't seemed to notice. In fact the only time he's been upset is if he gets sent home before Dad and Grandpa. Pretty fun to have him along for the ride this year!

Henrik, true to his roots was more pumped watching the John Deere "tractor" than the game.

Shout out to for a great time for the whole family complete with hot dogs and Saskatoon Berry Beer from

The Highlight was to get a chance to visit with Shaun Haney on alongside Josh Lade. I listen to the program any day I'm in a vehicle, so was fun to be a part of it!

We were happy to host RGT to look at their Planet and Asteroid trials in our 2024 Variety Trial. We're especially interested to see how Asteroid performs as one of the only non-GN barley varieties registered in Canada. This variety would allow distillers to make malt whiskey without ethyl-carbamate (which is a carcinogen).

We're also seeing a big difference between old and new genetics on their capacity to withstand weather. See the lodging evident in Copeland after last week's wind.

Long weekend Monday apparently = take your kids to work day. We got into some math, physics, plant biology, health sciences and 1000 other questions that randomly came up.

Seeder is rolling! First canola in the ground last night April 25th. Feels crazy early, but also ready to go!

Always like to support our great local home brewer clubs!

Malt is an essential component for most homebrew beers & Maker's Malt has a wide variety of AMAZING malts!

We may be biased because they're a 29th Annual ALES Open Sponsor & local Saskatchewan producer...so we'll let you decide for yourself!

Malt House tours are always one of the highlights of the conference. We were hosted by for a kickoff event. Very cool how they had beer made from craft Maltsters across the country released on tap@for the event. Loved seeing all the floor malt laid out there. Great representation of the farmers, barley varieties that go into it all as well!

We recently ran a batch of Esma barley. Esma performed very well agronomically in our field trials for two years in a row and we figured we had enough to trial some malting as well. So far it has looked good thru the malt house. We're the only ones putting this unique European variety out there this year (that we know of), so let me know if you'd like to try it out!
