Being part of the custom harvesting family goes beyond the U.S. Custom Harvesters. Jim and I are in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan for the next several days attending the Association of Canadian Custom Harvesters along with a couple other members of the USCHI board.

We flew in yesterday through a snow storm. A snow storm that concerned the pilot enough that he told us he had received the minimum requirements from the control tower to land and he was going to try to “getter done”. He did. It wasn’t even a rough landing. It took us about 45 minutes, though, to get to the hotel which is usually only a short drive.

Today we have been enjoying the trade show and combine manufacturers. Each manufacturer has their own group of representatives who have also become part of the custom harvesting family. Our Canadian family has done a tremendous job of making us feel welcome!!

We have one more day of the convention. One more day to associate with the northern “relatives”! I am so blessed to be involved in an important segment of agriculture which provides a vital service to our producers. Better yet…one that is unique because only a few of us understand what the rest of you wish you could. Enjoy pictures from our first day in Canada!

Just a wee bit chilly here tonight!

A super Canadian meal!
