We are definitely human / by Fang, X.,author,illustrator.;
When three mysterious visitors from "Europe" crash-land in Mr. Li's field, he does what any good host would: he invites them back to his farmhouse and offers to help fix up their "car". No, there's nothing strange about these guests at all. Just like other humans, they "make business", "play sportsball" and "wear hat". As the townsfolk also come to the aid of the visitors and the gathering turns into a little party, interplanetary relations reach an all-time high.

Maya dreams of working in magazines. But as the daughter of garlic farmers, her path is set: It's off to Cow Camp instead. And when she accidentally destroys valuable property and gets kicked out of the program, she can't tell her parents--or ask for the thousands of dollars she owes. Desperate to earn enough to pay for her mistake, Maya interviews for an internship at Fierce fashion magazine--and ends up getting a full-time job offer! The only problem? They think she's 26. Maya is so close to making her dreams come true, even if the glam life at Fierce isn't quite as shiny and fun as she hoped. But when she suggests the perfect candidate for a big story--and manages to get the scoop--all eyes are on her. How long can she keep her real age from her boss--and her real life from her parents?LSC

True confessions from the ninth concession / by Needles, Dan,author.;
"In 1988, Needles and his wife left the city to start a family in a country community located two hours north of Toronto. Together they stocked their farm with sheep, cattle, chickens, pigs and, eventually, four children. Needles' charming chronicle unfolds in essays dated from 1997 to 2016, offering homespun advice for successful country living--like whether to wave from the elbow or to merely raise one finger from the steering wheel when passing a neighbour in the car. He cautions on rural superstitions, such as when his neighbour hesitated before selling him weaner pigs because every time he does the wife of the farmer who's buying them becomes pregnant--which turned out to be true. Here too is the tale of an unlikely friendship between a "borderline" collie ("he's never bitten anything in his life and the sheep are catching on") and an odd duck named Ferdinand, as well as other hilarious stories involving an assortment of farm animals, including the weapon of choice to properly dispatch a rooster-gone-bad; the risks of giving a name to a potential Sunday dinner entrée; and how to outsmart a free-range pig. With his witty insight, Needles shares the art of neighbouring in the country--a place made for visits, and "where a figure walking across your field is more of a reason to put the kettle on than to call the police." True Confessions from the Ninth Concession is a sesquicentennial crop of antics and aphorisms by Canada's funniest farmer--one that presents a wonderful escape for world-weary city dwellers, and affirmative reading for anyone who is from, or has moved to, rural Canada."--

Deep rooted [videorecording] : exploring the mental health crisis in Canadian agriculture / by Cronk, Lynn,on-screen participant.; Norman, Kole,on-screen participant.; Raymond, Chantal,on-screen participant.; Boersma, Darryl,on-screen participant.; Wickiam, Van,film producer.; McDonnell, Kyle,film director.; McIntyre Media,film distributor.;
Featuring: Lynn Cronk, Kole Norman, Chantal Raymond, Darryl Boersma.The film follows four agriculture producers in discussing their mental health and how it relates to farming. There are an immeasurable number of stressors facing farmers and ranchers across the country, from weather and climate change, through to succession planning and farming legacy. Through these four agriculture producers, we get a glimpse into how and why this crisis persists in the farming community. With the help of experts and researchers, Deep Rooted also explores farm culture and its relationship to mental health. Stigmatization around mental health; depression, anxiety, stress and even suicide, continues to be perpetuated in the agricultural community, only deepening the taboo nature of seeking mental health care. The harsh reality is that those working in the agriculture industry continue to be one of the most vulnerable and underserved populations in relation to their mental health. Deep Rooted seeks to connect with farmers and agriculture workers; to give them a voice and humanize their struggle to bring attention to a problem that continues to worsen.E.DVD.
