Yeah I heard lots of snow in the fields this year. Last year I was on my way to Revelstoke on march 11 and saw a guy seeding. Had some weird electrical glitch with the drill so didn't get much done the first couple days. Disc drill pulls pretty hard seeding deep and on a hill.

There was a bill that passed in the house that exempts farm fuel from the federal carbon tax increases. It was a Conservative motion and was voted in favor from all parties except the Liberals. Tell all your friends in case you have a liberal hiding in a haystack.

Ken I understand that natural gas costs for agricultural shops and barns are exempt from the carbon tax. Have you seen a how this is allocated if you have one meter. If you have a link or information on this I would appreciate in info you have.
Thank You

I believe the exemption is only allowed for greenhouses whereby 80% of the consumption is exempt from the carbon tax. All other farming activity pays the full carbon tax.

Crap
thanks anyways

Little shower this morning, about 1/3 done seeding. Our drill that was built last year has every single fertilizer main hose wearing out already. They only have about 1200-1400 acres on them and I'm running around with my roll of duct tape. I guess they sourced some really cheap hose and other guys are complaining too. Sounds like they're going to warranty it but now isn't the time to be replacing hoses on a nearly new drill.

Sounds like the never ending battle of hydraulic hoses leaking a blowing on the new drills in the past few years... material made by the lowest bidder.

Hose isn’t the same quality even the good stuff also fertilizer is a bit sharper as to round which really wears
I’m going to jinx myself here but our 15’ Deere still has original hoses between cart and drill - they are getting hard/ brittle but resisting changing We have spread a good jag of urea ahead of drills last few yrs so that helps wear too.

One day we will join the paralink and big tank crowd

We store the drill inside lucky enough to have enough storage hoses of everykind last so much longer now

We were supposed to get water this weekend. Apparently a blowout in the canal and no water coming for a while. One guy said 2-3 weeks and another said 1-2 months. This is really bad.
