All hands on deck to get all the hay baled, stacked
and covered.
Top effort from all the team this week.

Post #1000
When I
started this blog it was only going to be a yearlong challenge
- to photograph
every day on our farm for a year.
I never dreamt that I would still be doing
that 3 years later...
1000 posts... 1000 days... 1000 photos.
What a milestone to reach.
The above photo is a sampler of some of those 1000 photos posted on [Farm-ily].
Thank you all for your continued encouragement,
comments, emails and messages.
I really treasure the friendships that have grown
over this time.
So what now?
I guess I just keep going…

Guest Post - #3LittleThings
I have a
treat for you today - something a little different from my usual one photo per
day.
I would like to introduce you to our daughter Aimee. She is the
brains & creator of The Lego Farmer. The Lego Farmer has received
much attention since his creation here on the farm Sept 6, 2014. He
is a hit on social media, been featured in newspapers & magazines around
the world, had personal meetings with politicians, exhibitions at shows and
Lego conventions… even speaking engagements. But ultimately what Aimee and The
Lego Farmer are about is sharing her love of agriculture and getting people,
young and old, to think about where their food comes from. And yes, that was
her being filmed yesterday.
Today, I invite Aimee to share #3LittleThings that we can
all do to help “Feed a Hungry Planet”.
So over to Aimee:
At the end of August I was very fortunate to be an
Australian delegate to the Youth Ag-Summit held in Canberra. The theme of the summit was
"Feeding a Hungry Planet". We discussed ideas and issues, and
together made a declaration to be taken to the United Nations this week.
This
is great, and BIG stuff, but in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, we also
need to each do little things. There are a number of things we can each do -
and one way is through #3LittleThings.
#3LittleThings started at the 2013 Youth Ag-Summit in Canada, following the Mayor of Calgary encouraging the citizens of his city to each do #3LittleThings for their community.
I want to encourage YOU to do #3LittleThings. Ideas include
reducing food waste in the home, starting a vegetable garden, composting,
eating local and regional food, enjoying seasonal fruit and vegetables,
shopping at Farmer’s Markets, and many more!
Finishing with some of my favourite Lego Farmer photos:

A contrast to yesterdays irrigated crop -
this
one is dryland, very moisture stressed and dying in the heat.

With limited water allocation
& no rain tough decisions being made
about what gets watered, and what
doesn’t.
