What you see: Wide farm equipment taking up most of the lane while turning.

What it means: Farm equipment often needs extra space, and extra time, to safely turn into fields, driveways, and farm lanes.

When you see turn signals or hand signals, slow down and give the operator room to complete the turn. Avoid trying to squeeze by, and only pass when the road ahead is completely clear and it's safe to do so.

A little patience helps keep farmers, motorists, and everyone else on the road safe.

RJ grew up on his family's dairy farm, but his journey into his own farm ownership took a unique path. In this episode, RJ shares his experience pursuing farm succession outside of his own family and what it takes to build a future in agriculture through determination, opportunity, and trust.

From navigating a non-traditional transition to highlighting the importance of a strong family support system, join us as he discusses his passion for dairy farming and the people who have helped make their journey possible.

Filmed a few months ago—hence the snowy backdrop—we're excited to share RJ's story during June, in recognition of National Dairy Month. 🐄🥛

A family farm is not unlike the living, breathing crops and livestock that are raised on it; it takes balance, care and discipline to keep it healthy.

On Oultonʼs Poultry Farm, nourished by rich soil of the Annapolis Valley and refreshed by the cool salty winds from the nearby Minas Basin, the farm grows through the collaborative and innovative thinking of its caretakers.

For 26 years, Krista and Thom Oulton have built and developed the business ‘from seed,’ so to speak. Now their son Sam is stepping up to keep the business healthy, vibrant and sustainable.

Saturday Seeding 🌱

What do you have on the go on this beautiful day? ☀️

What looks like a routine drive behind farm equipment is something very different in practice.

What you see: a tractor with a slow-moving vehicle sign.
What it means: a vehicle travelling under 40 km/h.

This is your reminder to slow down early, stay patient, and avoid tailgating or following too closely. Operators often cannot see vehicles directly behind them, and unsafe passing decisions create serious risk for everyone on the road.

At 40 km/h, following a slow-moving vehicle for 4 km is only about 6 minutes of your time — a small delay that can make a big difference in keeping everyone safe.

Safety is a two-way street.
