A chicken & a pig adorn the entryway posts to this meat producer south of Whitehorse. I tried to snap a pic of his multiple barns through the trees, but I wasn’t overly successful #DontQuitYourDayJob 😂

Near the northwest shore of Little Atlin Lake some of the larger forage operators work the land here. In amongst the bails, cereals like oats & barley are also grown. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon
A single cloud dropped by to check out this forage field located in the meadows near Lewes Lake. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon
Driving the back roads south of Whitehorse today to find pockets of pastures and forages like this one near Cowley.

West side wheat, east side barley, we end the day at Yukon Grain Farms. Not only a grain grower, they crush their own canola to use in feed they sell.
They also have multiple veggie fields incl: potato, cabbage, beet & carrot. All for the local market.

A large field of oats south of Lake Laberge. Still green, a colder than recent averages winter combined with a cool wet spring has left crops behind this season.
A warm drier July & early August has helped pull things closer to normal.

Here is Whitehorse’s peanut butter…or is it jam??…my analogies are bad 😂

This Massey-Ferguson 510 was built in Brantford, Ontario in the late 1960s.
Still going strong today it awaits harvest time at one of the few cereal growers up here. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon #CanadianManufacturing
