@AmandaBrodhagen @CdnAgriFood Very exciting! Congratulations!!

I am pleased to share that I have joined the @CdnAgriFood. I look forward to supporting the important work of CAPI & the Centre for Agri-Food Benchmarking by fostering thoughtful dialogue & development of forward-thinking ag policy at a pivotal time for Canada’s agri-food sector.

If you’re proposing this spring…

"We're ready for more corn!"

@ABikeMonkey If you never put it away, you won't need to dig it out next fall.

How long should we wait after it has warmed up before stowing cold weather gear? Asking for a friend of course.

@adam_schmitchen Yes, at my family's farm.

@JLKilbourne Nice looking cows! Are they at your place?

Lunch time. #ontag

@adam_schmitchen @farmerschneck @LMcLachlan60 It would be a bit of a bumpy ride yesterday/today as it looks like at least 4 vessels went by yesterday 😬

@JLKilbourne @farmerschneck @LMcLachlan60 People do it more than you think!Can’t say I recommend it 😬😬😬

About as South as I can get without crossing the border.

@farmerschneck @LMcLachlan60 As long as you time it so you don't try to cross after the ice breaker has gone by.

@LMcLachlan60 Snow mobile would be safer bet haha

Register now for the 2026 @GreatLakesYEN program to lock in early bird pricing. The registration fee increases on Thursday! #ontag

This is Norfolk County. At the heart of Ontario’s Garden, Norfolk County is home to one of the most diverse and productive agricultural regions in the country. From row crops to horticulture, tobacco to greenhouse production, floriculture to viticulture, livestock to forestry, the work happening here is as varied as it is vital. Yet behind every acre is a network of dedicated individuals whose collective efforts often go unseen—but are crucial. From farmers—both generational and new—to agronomists, applicators, ag retailers, product suppliers, yard workers, and truck drivers, each person plays a crucial role in keeping the system moving. Equally essential are the thousands of offshore workers who leave their home countries each year to contribute their labour and expertise to Norfolk’s agricultural bounty. Their contributions are invaluable and deserve recognition. This project captures the rhythm of Norfolk agriculture from above—moments across the 2025 growing season that reflect the scale, pace, and beauty of production in our region. It’s a visual tribute to the people and processes that keep our rural economy thriving. So don’t only thank a farmer. Support Norfolk County agriculture through: • Buying local and in-season whenever possible. • Slowing down and sharing the road with farm equipment. • Supporting local AG retailers. (Clark’s, Fs Partners, Scotland Agromart, Sylvite, Underhills) • Having meaningful conversations with offshore workers when you see them in town. • Taking time to learn about the full spectrum of crops and commodities grown right here in your community. Agriculture is more than an industry in Norfolk—it’s a way of life, deeply rooted in land, labour, and legacy. Let’s do our part to honour and support those who make it all possible. A huge shoutout to the following operations who allowed me to share a glimpse of their story in keeping the world go round. Thank you to my team at Sylvite for the pointers and encouragement. This was purely an ambitious project fueled by my passion of AG for which I have not profited from. #ontag #canadianag #norfolkcounty

@ABikeMonkey You can do the 350 ✅️

Two viewpoints competing. The first wants to take it easy next year, focus on other aspects of fitness and give the endurance bits a rest. The second says now or never.

Still torn one week before the deadline. Which one shall we do? Been there, done that on the 200. 100's being saved for another day. Leaves either the 50 or 350. Hmmm ...

@ABikeMonkey Enjoy the cooler temperatures out on the Gravel Seas!!!

Tonight We Ride!

@ABikeMonkey Quite the aid stations along his route.

"Big Jim has a secret weapon; the Lairig Flyer, a rickety old bicycle. Furthermore, he has a wealth of experience - this is his 105th crossing of the Lairig Ghru. Perhaps most importantly of all, he has stashed an armful of whisky bottles along the route." youtu.be/cZk2jV5gJbM

@ABikeMonkey Every. Single. Ride. Is. Windy. (That's why there are wind turbines where I live 😁)

Ride those windy days. Get comfortable in the toil. Out in the flats is best. Yeah, it's gonna suck, but the finish will be sweet. And when it happens in a race, it's not a big deal.

We're at the Lindsay Farm Show today. #ontag

Chatham-Kent and east side folks in Essex County......free public skating this weekend courtesy of your local Grain Farmers of Ontario 🌾🌽🌱 #ontag #agdaycanada

Learning never stops! #ontag

@ABikeMonkey Iowa on Easter weekend is calling your name......🚲

Didn't get in the Unbound XL. A tad disappointed, but oddly liberated. Next year's wide open. Already mentioned that I want to try bikepacking. It should create opportunities for challenges of increasing duration and distance.
