Riehl Conversations meets Our Crazy RV

Farmer Marty Voth, his baler, and Fergy

Today I'm back in Bede, Manitoba, Canada with farmer Marty Voth. He walks me the through different ways his John Deere baler uses twine and wrap to secure hay bales. Marty introduces me to his Massey Ferguson combine, the benefits of older machinery for smaller farming, some moisture testing for his freshly harvested oats with the 1955 Labtronic testing apparatus and a final farm conversation about his bearded wheat field.

This week farmer John invites me out to the farm to do some seeding. He teaches me about some older machinery, that works for him like a charm. We discover more about the John Deere hoe drill, and how it all works. "Goes Pretty Straight" Is all the GPS farmer John needs! See how winter wheat can begin germinating in as little as 24 hours.

We view an old church that was rescued for community use 'The Good Street Hall', we take a look at the thrift shop 'The Score Store' that serves the entire community of approximately 750 citizens, the exciting build through grant writing and community involvement for the food security/greenhouse, and the beautiful and quaint 'Iris Café'.
