Back in Ottawa, after our AGFO fact-finding trip to Guelph, in support of our soil study. (I tried to post photos, but didn’t have the bandwidth! So here comes a bucolic photo thread. First, some piggy pics from our Monday visit to the 3Gen Organic farm in Wallenstein, Ontario. #Guelph #AGFO #SenateofCanada #Ontario #Canada #soilhealth #organicfarming #pigs #piglets #pork
I went right down, but I got up again. You are never going to keep me down! Here I am, entering and exiting a lysimeter observation station at the University of Guelph’s experimental farm at Elora, Ontario. A lysimeter measures soil moisture and other factors. #Guelph #UniversityofGuelph #SenateofCanada #SoilHealth #AGFO #Elora #Canada #Ontario #tubthumping
@Paulatics Cute but the one pig needs better something. I am not sure a well kept piglet should have sores on both front knees as one does. (Knees is not quite the right anatomy term here but look at the front legs. It is kneeling on a hard surface a fair bit of time.)
@Paulatics I grew up seven minutes from Guelph.
@TimQuerengesser It is lovely there. I hadn’t been to that area before. Sehr gemutlich.
