[Snohog]

Hey guys I am away at work and was just wanting an up date on the haying situation back home near Thorsby? are guys cutting yet? and how wet are the fields still?

Nope. No one is making hay, still to wet

Installed Flexifingers on my combine last year. A bit pricey but made a difference.

When it comes to a tangled up mess, patience is all that works!

It's so wet, if it keeps this up well have fun in the fields with the combines and trucks, so we will have enough to worry about without the litters lol

How much rain has everyone got so far?I'm a hour and a half northwest of Edmonton and I lost track after 14 inches!I still have about 200 acres of barley to be planted(should have been in the ground in June)definately green feed or silage now!I wouldn't even bother at all if I hadn't paid the rent already!!!There is water sitting where there shouldn't be any!!Now I got to try and get my hay cut too!!

 

[Snohog]

Well let's see, we have been getting lots of rain every day, so I would damn near that too

I hear ya. We should have been baling all night last night. It was windy so it would have gone. Hindsight is 20-20.

My buddies second wife didn't have a clue either!He was going out to plug in the areation fans and she thought that he had a row of fans at the end of the field to dry the swaths!Also she thought that the grain would leak out of the holes in the side of the trailer when the truck was hauling!Just had to explain to her there was a different trailer for grain and one for hauling cattle!!!!He should have listened to me to f her and chuck her because she got half the farm money and now he lives in town doing construction work!!!Gotta love gold diggers!!

This one citiot tried telling me off when I told him the difference between a 7 bottom plow and a disk ripper, he said the disk was the plow and he didn't know what the "plow" was lol, like seriously, I'm a farmer, your a city-ot I know my chit!!!
