Growing Up on the Farm, a look into local agriculture, presented by Smiths Farm Equipment, also fueled by KUBOTA.
Allan Nanne’s family has been farming at Nandale Farms dairy farm near Pakenham for decades.
He says it’s got a rich history, that started when his grandparent arrived as new Canadians.
He’ also seen the milking process grow over the years too.
What that means, is its now the cow that determines when she’ll be milked. Good care of the animals also plays a big part in a successful operation.
As for the future, Nanne says production costs are a challenge, and the ongoing trade war do add some pressure.
As for a fourth generation working the farm, Nanne says that has yet to be decided, mentioning that his oldest daughter is 4 years-old.
That said, he also doesn’t want his children to feel the pressure of being forced into farming. He welcomes any choices they make.
