Sorry didnt see that in the previous post. Thats a good price. Up here they are easily $10,000 more than that.

Neighbor just got a unverferth cart, nice carts they are to!!!! Now I want one lol

They are nice, But I like the spout that they have on the brandt carts. The head swivels back and forth for easy control of grain flow.

The neighborhood smells like endigo and lorsban insecticide......... the planes have been flying within 4 miles of my house all day. (friggin aphids)

thats a pretty stiff combo, ive done a lot of lorsban, not a plesent chemical to work with at all,

They werent mixing it together but I suppose certain producers wanted certain products. Yeah Lorsban is some bad stuff but what insecticide isnt?

I do about 200 acres and I have 160 that was ready to bale yesterday but a inch of rain in the morning shut that down!!About 4 bale an acre crop should take a while to dry!!Water sitting in the low spots again!!!!

friggin rain can screw off

 

[zeebs]

hay is over-rated...... Corn and Soybeans only for this operation

It's to the point where combining is going to suck balls!!I was going to silage some barley but I can't even get a quad in the field let alone a swather to knock it down!!!!

 

[imdoo'n]

Was in north central albert this past weekend - crops ok but didnt get the moisture when needed - seem a little patchy. Drove back to calgary cross country - the settler / carbon area has very good crops - what I would call above average ! New sled underdog!!

Yes they certainly are quite nice. Got my new sled already, now hoping that I can get a truck, some land, and a house to put on the land this year.

I dont have high expectations at all!

By the way things are going it won't be to bad for harvest, but with our luck it will be soaking wet when it's time to start combining, would be inderesting having pull type trucks and push type combines lol

Might be a good year to have a grain cart in the field. well, any year is I guess.

So I'm watching a story on CTV news over lunch and they are talking about all the grizzlies getting killed eating spilled grain on the railway tracks through Banff National Park. My question is ......what the hell is grain doing on the tracks to begin with???? Can't CP Rail build a rail car that doesn't leak grain all the way to the coast? Sheeeesh!

 

[Snohog]

Long as we get paid for what leaves the farm I'm not to worried about it, after all, it's their loss. But that still begs the question HTF did that grain get spilt?!?!
