Storm photos from Ontario 2009

Last week, I posted a few more photos from the big windstorm in southern Alberta in 2008. In that posting, I asked for weather photos from 2009. Liz Robertson, executive director with the Canadian Association of Farm Advisors, forwarded these photos, taken around Orangeville, Ontario during a big August 2009 storm. (She doesn't know who took them. If you know, please tell me.)

I have to thank Liz. She's has been a good source of leads over the years. Just recently, she suggested I take a second look at the Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) tax credit and what it offers for on-farm inventors. I have a short article on that topic on page 3 of the upcoming October 19 Grainews. Liz also responded to my Nuffield Scholar blog entry from this week, pointing me to Karen Daynard -- whom I featured in my other blog entry from today. If you're looking for farm advisors for any number of topics — tax, law, succession planning, etc. — start with the CAFA website. Let Liz know you got the lead from my blog.
