I totally agree with you. Even posting this and giving food for thought for the long hours in the tratctor ahead will hopefully stir communication amongest the families that will benefit them in some way. There are alot of great ideas thought up in spring and fall when you are in the tractor 18 hours a day. If there are any private concerns they may be private messaged and i will reply asap with some options. Wait until it rains again though there is too much to do right now. Be safe and have a great season.

He truly enjoyed working with so many people who made Chatham-Kent a better place to live. I knew James for his love for the land and for his impact in the agriculture sector, not just here in Chatham-Kent, but across Ontario and Canada and in many parts of the world. In past columns, I’ve discussed people who have helped guide me, not only as a person, but also in my agriculture career. James Snyder was one of them. James was very proud of his British heritage. During my last visit, he took me through his downtown Chatham apartment, showing me every square foot — each of which had something of value to James.
