Hi thereI am very new to farming, 2nd year in fact. I am really curious as to why grain elevators keep a portion of the crop you have delievered rather than charging or invoicing for drying. It is very dishearting when your say corn comes in at 23% moisture and you have 14 MT and lose 2 MT to what I assume is the cost of drying. So why don't they charge and invoice the cost rather than keeping a portion of say corn. By the way for 14 MT of soybeans I lost just under 2MT for drying as well. Now…See More

Looking for opportunity to hunt on your land

Hi everyone,

I live in Milton and am looking for a Farmer in the Halton region who would be willing to allow me to hunt on their property for turkey during Spring turkey season and deer season, which is in the Fall.

I would be willing to help with farm chores as I do have previous experience working at a thoroughbred horse farm cleaning stalls, putting hay bales and straw bales in the loft, as well as general manual chores.

I would take great care of showing respect…
