We had some land that we always seemed to have problems with when it came to schlerotina - regardless of 3,4,5 years rotations. We got some soil testing done in those specific areas and it was recommended to add some different fertilizer/nutrients especially to those areas. Now every year we hit...

We always cut ours late in the fall - after it freezes but before it snows preferably. Only cut dry wood. This way when we bring it home any bugs that may be in the bark or wood will be frozen or dormant and won't start getting into other wood or buildings (or the house!). We usually take one...

Will start cutting some canola this weekend or early next week most likely. Looks good so far, but we'll see. I'm thinking there should be plenty of "stuck" pictures this year for at least a few of us!

Company websites are definitely #1 like others have said. Job boards and head hunters for oil and gas: info oil, workopolis, lake else consulting, total enerflex, swift resources, purestaffing, cbm projects, sancon, mmr, hbk resources, rig zone.... There's lots out there. For power...

We've been trapping those things for years. Rat traps (large mouse traps) from peavymart or ufa, find the hole with a narrow stick like others have said, cover with a board (small cable reel ends works well - round), and tie the trap to a stick with some wire so another animal can't carry it...

If I remember correctly it had to do with how they define an 'act of god'. Something like a one in a hundred year 'storm' can be planned and designed for, but a tornado can't. At the time they basically said if its declared a tornado, their investigation stops, as far as the cause goes anyway...

On the technicality of the tornado wording - I'm not entirely sure if this would have anything to do with it or not maybe, but I was in the pine lake tornado about 10 years ago and when it came time for the insurance to pay anything out, it would have been a big difference if the storm wasn't...

It's likely hay. Depending on the year, location, and the type of hay/grass you can get 2 or 3 cuttings per season around here. Did you notice him "raking" the swaths at all before he bailed it? This would turn the hay over to help it dry, as well as combining 2 swaths into 1 usually.

Did you notice if both types claimed to be intended for bearings? It seems to be getting harder and harder to find tubes that actually claim to be for bearings on the side of the tube. We usually run 2 different greases - one for bearings and another for pins and bushings type thing. The one...

Still wouldn't go away from the top load with the agitator. I haven't seen anything wash as good as them yet. And I'm not a big fan of how the front load machines seem to hold so much water around the rubber seals by the door. They're always 'musty' sorta.

It's not like Redford really makes her own decisions - just goes by the group consensus of all her little "committees". Maybe all we need is more committees to validate what the original committees findings were. And if there's conflicting views we should have a final committee to decide what...

Seen on the news Taber had a confirmed tornado touch down in a field around 8:30. What's with the weird weather so early in the year? It's technically not even summer yet!

I've been looking at picking up some more land the last few years, but like you say it just doesn't add up at these prices. It's very tough to justify - especially if a guy stretches out canola to every 3 or 4 years to give the land a bit of a rest. The big guys may have the half million for a...

Up here I know the county or MD will trap them if they are causing problems for you. And if the dams get too big they use explosives to get rid of everything!

Yes, as szprod mentioned, keyloggers can track and record everything. I personally like to keep my computer relatively clean with a minimal amount of programs and processes/services running all the time. I monitor this quite closely on both my windows and mac platforms on a regular basis. At a...

Can't imagine that being much fun at all. A good tip also is to ensure your passwords are 'strong', changed often, and not written down or stored electronically in plain text anywhere. And make sure your browsers aren't storing passwords or auto-logging in for you. The convenience just isn't...

I'm no expert on this topic either but I've worked with lots of consultants and contractors out there and dividends is the way to go. Not showing actual personal income will affect being able to get loans and mortgages and stuff, but if you already have that setup you should be okay. Either way...

A good chiropractor and massage therapy. It's all that helps me.

We used plywood painted over for the interior of the garage. Can't beat it IMO. No issues with insurance - don't know if OSB would be treated differently though.
