I respect. Often I bounce my ideas to this small circle because they are exceptional managers. I am fortunate to have a good network of neighbours and friends in our community who act as a sounding board. Their responses are always thoughtful and at a high level. Also, Dan Caron, the Business Development Specialist from MAFRI in my area, I believe is one of the best. Often, you will find managers in his office and we all have great conversations. Question 3: Who do you see as your partners in Agriculture? As I think about my career in agriculture, I have to say that my best partners have been women: my wife, my mother and my mother-in-law. If it wasn't for their significant contributions to the farming operation, we wouldn't be where we are today. If it wasn't for the prairie women there would be no prairie agriculture. That is a fact. Question 4: : Is there a special moment in your farm career that stands out in your memory? Yes, two occasions come to mind. The first was the day I woke up and said to myself  "I'm going to make it in this business". That was back in 2008 after a particularly rough string of losses. The second was winning my first MCGA election. That changed me as a person significantly. These are small moments but to large extent, very significant for me. Question 5: What are you passionate about? That's easy -- I have  two great hobbies.
