A break from #cropmap26 data preparation. Today’s our annual welcome back BBQ. It’s a chance for everyone to chat and tell stories of their summer adventures.

As a Canadian, I assume they are converting it to 5-pin bowling lanes.

Snap shot of a red 5-pin bowling ball knocking down all the pins. The ball and pins are smaller than the inferior 10-pin version 🤭

At the Chippewas of Rama First Nation Powwow today near Orillia, Ontario. Home to world’s largest dreamcatcher, I snapped this pic of some of the dancers gathering for the Grand Entry

So long Whitehorse, until next time!

Let’s end the day like we started it, with a grassy forage amongst the pines, down a long and winding dirt road. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

A chicken & a pig adorn the entryway posts to this meat producer south of Whitehorse. I tried to snap a pic of his multiple barns through the trees, but I wasn’t overly successful #DontQuitYourDayJob 😂 #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Near the northwest shore of Little Atlin Lake some of the larger forage operators work the land here. In amongst the bails, cereals like oats & barley are also grown. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

A single cloud dropped by to check out this forage field located in the meadows near Lewes Lake. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Driving the back roads south of Whitehorse today to find pockets of pastures and forages like this one near Cowley. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Wheat to the west, barley to the east, we end the day with Yukon Grain Farms. Not only a grain grower, they crush their own canola & use the oil in livestock feed they sell. They also have multiple veggie fields incl: potato, cabbage, beet & carrot. All for the local market. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

A large field of oats south of Lake Laberge. Still green, a colder than recent averages winter combined with a cool wet spring has left crops behind this season. A warm drier July & early August has helped pull things closer to normal. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Like peanut butter to jam, so goes sod to urban centres. Here is Whitehorse’s peanut butter…or is it jam??…my analogies are bad 😂 #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

A dirty field of oats near Fox Creek. The flowering fireweed does look pretty though. 🥰 #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

A field of barley & their accompanying storage bins. This farmer takes some of his grains to produced food products for the local market. I’ve picked up a bag of cereal & biscuit mix to bring home with me. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Stopped at the Yukon Government Research Farm. Today’s guide Randy showed off some of their current work •Dry vs irrigated cereals research •Testing NS lowbush blueberry & cranberry plants in this environment •Hascap varietal work •Broad bean trials Just to name a few!🥵 #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Oats to feed to some pigs off camera to the left. Off camera to the right? A cross fox sniffing around the field edge.🦊 👀 #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

This Massey-Ferguson 510 was built in Brantford, Ontario in the late 1960s. Still going strong today it awaits harvest time at one of the few cereal growers up here. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon #CanadianManufacturing

Along the edge of the Takhini River this field of forage will occasionally rotate Bison in to feed. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Thanks! I find if I stay out of the photos people seem to like them better. Even my wife! 😂

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Irrigated forages outperform dry land forages. According to my local guide, you get at least 3x the yield…of course irrigation doesn’t happen for free💰. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

The one tractor dealer in the Yukon is Kubota. If you are going to see a newer tractor, odds are they are it. Here this MX-series is working forage land near Haines Junction. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Clearing some land west of Haines Junction. The chipped wood will take a long time to decompose in this environment. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

4 years ago I passed this newly cleared field east of Haines Junction & it was full of oats. Today it has been abandoned and weeds have taken over. ☹️ #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Some of the tools of the trade that keep this hay field active in the Ibex Valley. Without a large scale industry to support it, you are unlikely to find a lot of newer tractors or implements up here. Simplier is better (& easier to repair). #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

The territorial Ag land process is a development-based program managed by the Yukon’s Agriculture Branch (who I’m working with this week). Instead of buying the land, you "pay" for the land by investing money, labour, & infrastructure to develop it into a working farm.

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Looking to get in to farming? This plot of land will be up for purchase this fall after the previous owners could not follow through with the territorial land development process. #cropmap26 #CdnAg #Yukon

In Whitehorse this week for a quick 3 day #cropmap26 data collection of agriculture in the Yukon. Today I’ll head west to Haines Junction.

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Back in Ottawa but thinking of this group who I spotted last year in BC, at a location where wildfires are currently. Hope they are safe.

As we prepare to fly home here’s a shoutout to Julie! My trying to stay cool #cropmap26 partner this week. With an Undergrad from Lethbridge & a Masters from Waterloo (Data Science & AI) Julie works at AAFC to develop & program new modules for the Earth Observation team.

A berry harvester on the move. They are a fascinating piece of engineering. #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg I dug out this manufacturer video that shows what they do. youtu.be/3iXJFDoKEvI?...

Look like these buttercup squash are almost ready to be harvested. If you look closely 👀 you can spot a few near the field edge #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

Gotta keep those shelves stocked with sweet corn. Here’s a nice look at the differing stages of growth over a single field. #timing #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

Rows upon rows of kale. I think I’m in a brassica nightmare surrounded by this cultivar monstrosity. 😂 #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

You supply the vodka & Clamato juice, I’ll bring the celery (when it grows taller). Checking out the future cocktail garnish west of Chilliwack. #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

In the Cultus Lake region checking out some blueberries but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

Thanks! I’m glad someone out there is following along 😁

After dissing them yesterday we ironically started the day with green brussel sprouts. 🌈 #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

Day 5 for #cropmap26 in BC has us travel along the southern portions of the Fraser Valley eventually ending in Richmond.

Leander Campbell @leandercampbell.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

At the end of the day we spotted a new one for me; purple brussel sprouts. Now your kids can refuse to eat them in TWO colours! 😂 #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

On Sqʼéwqel First Nation land we spotted large rows of raspberries soaking in some late day sunshine #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

An infinite number of cedar trees that will be shipped to an infinite number of nurseries and box stores across Canada. Travel the back roads around Chilliwack to grasp how many there truly are. 🤯 #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg

This was the third hazelnut orchard we drove past today. Now we need to crossbreed these with cacao plants and make Nutella trees. #science 😁 #cropmap26 #BCag #CdnAg
