Some random thoughts on the drive to Saskatchewan.

- with all the moisture we have had this year, what kind of winter are we going to have?

- it is amazing to think about what it would have been like to pioneer the west. So much open range, no roads no cities and no traffic!

- think about the last thought for a second, is that deep down why farmer's do what they do? The feeling of innovation and being free

- after completing the agenda for the SACA conference the last couple of years, the first question I ask myself is "what the heck are we going to do next year to top this one?"

- are there applied research associations across Saskatchewan? I don't think there are many. It makes the work ARECA and the member associations are doing even more special we can't lose this.

- wher do producers learn everything that they do on the farm? What percentage of it comes from relatives, school, newspapers, internet, conferences, field tours/days, industry folks, coffee shops, looking over the neighbour's fence and good ol trial and error.

It is amazing to think about all the different and unique ways to learn in this industry.
