Farmer talk

This is off topic a bit, but anyone on here have any feed wheat to sell?

Maybe give some more information. Like how many bushels or tons you want.

Looking for a 150-200 tonne. Will pick up any amount as long as I can fill my trailer close to full (32 tonnes) prefer within 100 kms of Edmonton, but will consider farther.

The big white combine from the sky (hail) was out taking samples on Sunday.

Got it!

Ours isnt looking too bad. We got a shot of rain last week fields got anywhere from half inch to 3.5 inches. Some of the sandy spots are dying but with how dry we were last year and as little snow we got over winter i am pleased. Still better off then our neighbors to the south and east (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, central and southern Iowa)

Moisture is non-existant here, 4/10ths last week. Good thing we have 97% humidity every morning, only thing holding the crops. Down side, disease. Hard to spray fungi when the crop is burning.....

Well, just doubled my moisture for the month. Went from just under half inch to 1 1/2 inches over night. The best part no damaging hail.

Fingers crossed. Made instead of expensive fungi's, I should of doubled up on hail insurance!

Hole in a pipe on the leg. grain setups are nice when they are new but a nightmare once stuff starts wearing out.

Well dont get me wrong, they are still nice but just not as nice as when they were new.

Its on a pipe that comes from the leg to the over head. Most of the time when it gets a hole in it the pipe just gets replaced. I should have cleared it up that its NOT the trunking on the leg.

Labor intensive job?

 

[zeebs]

Can be. We usually hire it out since we dont have a crane. Plus when they built it they werent that flush with working platforms. Im not very fond of crawling out between the trunking, standing on a couple angle irons 100' off the ground with a life line attached to my ass.
