Well thanks for all the welcomes! That's what I really love about this place - you can disappear for a year and a half and then slide right back in like you never left, same old great group of people! John, no unfortunately I haven't had a chance to check out the Saskatoon Symphony since I left and now that ranks up there on my list of regrets: that I neglected to take full advantage of my close proximity....I probably could have traded a night or two at the symphony for my 2 year quest to eat at every Asian restaurant in the city (there were over 70)!  But it wouldn't be the same story if I had said every restaurant...but two. Bren, absolutely we'll have to get together again. I'll fire you a PM some day because it appear as though I'll be travelling more frequently to Winnipeg during the month of February (my gf has a contract working for a broadcaster during the Olympics and will be working out of Wpg). Also you are correct, we are primarily "dirt" farmers - thankfully too - it's been a tough year for cattle & hog producers. I actually thought if anyone was interested, I would post some pics/writeup about what goes on at our fairly typical farm...might give a few some insight into where there food is coming. Again thanks for all the well-wishes and welcome-backs! Scott Having just finished watching "Food Inc." - I would welcome pics of a typical farm. Don't know what your setup is like but there was an oldstyle farmer from Virginia in the movie. If he lived anywheres near me, I would drive 2hours to his operation to buy my Beef, Poultry, and Pork.

I felt a disturbance in the force, searched my feelings, and traced it to this location. The perpetrator left evidence, but is nowhere to be found.
I'll get you.

Welcome back, Scott!
I actually noticed the other day that you were online, and was hoping you'd announce your presence with authority. Or something.
Would love to hear more stories about your new life.

announce your presence with authority. Even our authorities aren't very authoritative. Bren R.

thanks again guys!
Hey Rob, I haven't had an opportunity to see Food Inc. yet, but I will have to try and track it down somewhere so I can have a look. Having not seen it I can't comment too much but it does appear that there will be a few modern agriculture myths perpetuated in the movie that I can hopefully help to dispell. That being said there also appears to be a number of valuable messages througout the website/movie such as eating locally, but more for environmental and "support the local producer" reasons than anything else. At any rate, hopefully I can help a few more people realise where there food comes from and how it is produced on a modern farm!

That whole "eat locally" thing is fine if you live in California.
The rest of us would get scurvy by about March.
