Crappy….

What’s your irrigation district there?

We are Lethbridge northern irrigation district. About 60% done seeding now but might have to switch to spraying soon. Weeds are coming up fast now that it’s 25 degrees.

Ideally when do you start irrigation?

Alright you smart Farmer people! We have installed a Hinson cab on a JD 3130. It came with a heater and we have plumbed it in. My question is, how do you get the coolant from the rad up to the heater (roof)? We do have the hoses hooked up from the block, to the heater and back to the block. I warmed up the tractor to operating temp, felt the rad hose and I can feel the pump doing its job. But when I touch the hoses going to the heater, nothing. I know usually you have to crack open the highest point to get the air out, but that's in the cab. Is there a secret way without getting coolant all over the place?

I'm in need of some wheel weights and the front weight for a CaseIH 600 (Steiger) tractor. The front weight P/N is 84185284 and weighs 1484lbs. Anybody have any ideas where I could find some weights? I've checked most of the wreckers already. Thanks in advance.

I’d first check to make sure 1 of the hoses comes from the discharge side of the water pump, before the rad. If both hoses go back to the block there won’t be a pressure differential to create flow.

Usually the pump will be enough alone to push out the air. It’ll take some time and a few heat/cool cycles, but it should flood itself.

I would have started last weekend if it was possible.

It’s crazy dry, considering we even had a winter with mostly snow cover all season, although there wasn’t much moisture in the crust snow we had. It was super dry last fall.

The last significant rain we had was in June 2022…

You guys had way better snow up your way than we did. It’s not looking great for germination down our way unless something changes.

Once warm run it at pto RPM for a while. Need to get the coolant pump up to full RPM/flow to get enough pressure differential to circulate the air out.

Thanks Guys. I’ll try that out next time I’m out.

They're saying water should be on around the middle of may. Barley is up now too...

I got 13 acres of white millet to seed tomorrow and I'm done.

my parents have a garden on there 40 plus acre acreage. There garden is 1500 sq/ft. They have a potatoe beetle problem and we tried many store bought chemicals. Need some real inceticide what do we need or can someone help us out.

Have you tried sprinkling diatomaceous Earth on it? As soon as stuff starts coming up sprinkle it over the whole garden. The potato bugs eat it and it shreds their insides

They walked around totally white. Didn't do absolutely anything . Need what the farmers use. Will check with UFA tomorrow
