I’m pretty interested to see it work, too bad the crops suck so a guy won’t really see it’s potential

Saw a pile of dust south of me 2 miles yesterday so went for a snoop. Mialta Hutterite colony was combining a half section of hailed wheat. They had 6 John Deere S780’s cutting, 2 9R620’s 4 tracs on big grain carts, another 9R620 on a vertical tillage unit for fire and 2 super Bees in the field. One leaving and one sitting there. I did a rough estimate of well over $10,000,000 in iron in the field. Incredible.
Talked to a finance guy that seemed to know alot about the Huts the other day! Said a lot of colony's are leveraged alot harder than most people think, just amortized over a lot longer time frame, they think more in terms of generations than single working lives like a lot of farmers do!

Yeah they are no better farmers than the rest of us. Must be big bucks in cukes and carrots at these farmers markets?

Is that something you have to pay if you make profit? Glad I don't have that problem.

Talk to someone from the Regina area. That’s all they grow down there. Lentils with a smattering of canola. Lentils are alright to grow. If your tolerance for weedy fields isn’t high don’t grow them. Plan on a pre harvest as well. Kill the weeds and kill the lentils. They will start growing again if you get a bunch of rain at harvest.

Rode in one last week when it was at Webb's at Vermilion, it's a monster! Header is too big for this country! Seemed strange comming home to a 50' Mac and it looked small!
All a guy needs is $1.7 mill and you too could park it in you shed for 11.5 months of the year

Dairy pork chicken & manufacturing. All labour free ( they house,feed, cloth them- but use every service available) farm tax rate for commercial enterprises
pretty hard not to make more money than competition in ag or commercial
