Minnedosa,, Manitoba

"I had a scare the first year when I decided to zero till a third of my acreage. The Roundup bill was $4,000 and I had to ask myself if this made economic sense compared to cultivation - it did. At the end of the first three years (it was really the first time I had the whole farm in zero till) I was asking myself if this was going to work - if I could count on good weed control in the years ahead if I kept on with zero till. That was a tough decision to make - I'm glad I did. "

"In 1981, we had a tremendous wind storm during seeding time in southern Manitoba. I was seeding and my soil wasn't blowing."
