That's who I've been watching. Would be awesome up here if you could do it under the radar. They even have a bunch of t40s at Richie Bros

Yeah just back from a camping trip and can’t believe how much the crops changed in 10 days. Crazy weather

We are holding in there but crops
Starting to go in reverse, im just hoping we can fill the heads went from funigicided everything to no rain here is the earliest wheat seeded crop

We caught 3-4/10ths last night which was kuch needed after that heat luckily there was no wind here during that heat

We have gotten 66mm in the last couple days about 40min west of Edmonton. About 30 or 33mm in an hour to start it off.

It only it was a couple days earlier, Jasper would be in better shape

Brother has the smaller version of those drones and has done a few thousand acres. Some around Bonneville and some solar farms southern Ab. He was saying on the weekend that to fly the bigger ones you pretty much need a pilots license or close

I know to do it commercially right now is probably a giant pain in the ass. Farmers can do it on their own land with little grief. For me to have a ground rig come and spray is about 10-11 dollars per acre. Haven’t had the airplane out in a long time but I’m sure it’s at least $15/ac.

For the heli, but fungicide prices have come
Down alot so its currentlt cheaper now to get the plane then it was 5 years ago due to fungicide dropping about 3-4 bucks a acre plane used to be 10.50

What a mess. Now what do you do with all the straw. Vertical till when it dries out I guess.

Gonna put on lifters and shave the ground haha. Gonna wish I had picked more rocks I think lol

So was that wind or hail? You would think that the plant will die quickly once it’s kinked off. Hopefully the heat doesn’t shrink the kernels.
