Jason Wiebe Dairy

Christmas greetings from Jason Wiebe Dairy. We are very happy to have electricity after being out of it for 6 days after the ice storm on Dec 11.

We lost electricity at about 7:00 am Tuesday, but we were ready with our backup generator on our tractor so we used that to keep milking cows. On Sunday our generator needed some repairs so I contacted our local equipment dealer for some parts and he opened his store twice for me on Sunday to get repair parts for the generator, which I fixed after we had a church service in our school building (our school building was powered by a Honda generator which was loaned to us to use).

Then on Monday morning our generator gave out and I called around to find a place to fix it, but no luck, all repair places around were completely booked for weeks fixing generators. Then I heard our local electric company truck was in the area and so I tracked him down and talked to him. He thought we had power already so he said he would soon come and talk to me at our place. I went home and in about 20 minutes our power came on (Monday 1:07 pm). He had found a blown fuse on the line which couldn’t easily be seen and fixed it.

Now I am taking our generator in to get fixed so next time we lose power we are ready.

This is where Jason and Sheri will enter journal/blog entries about their dairy farm or cheese business, or personal interests!  It could be anything that they think relates to the story of their endeavors.

 I’m sure Jason and Sheri will have many good ideas to share with the web world.
