Why I do what I do
It happens at this time of year. It's a good thing too or else I am not sure what I would do.
After a long winter of sitting at a desk doing crop plans, driving in laneways trying to sell seed and fertilizer, the sun finally comes out and the ground dries out. That means that I get to do what I choose this profession to do. I get to be "outstanding in a field". There is wheat to be checked, weeds to be identified and I get to drive around doing it.
Nothing beats a stroll thru a wheat field at this time of year. A warm wind, sun on the face, the promise of what is to come for the rest of the season. And then a few minutes of shooting the sh*t with the farmer.
Good thing that spring comes around.

Not that I'm an expert on farms, the land, or small towns or anything...
But, I think that there's a certain peace that comes from actually understanding humankind's interdependence on the earth that is devoid of city living that has caused the current environmnetal crisis we're in.
This post is very inspiring... I totally admire you for putting up with what you don't really enjoy for the whole winter, for that amazing feeling you get in the spring!!!
