guess riding a quad, sled, bike , car truck and now farm equipment, has a zero tolerence. i see no harm in a beer, but when a dozen or so disappear by one operator in a short time, there could be a problem. i guess operating any motorized vehicle while drunk is an offence though. likely even on private property like a farm. but it's not for me to say. seen a few pieces of farm equipment in various states of crunch at the end of fields, tough to stay awake after a few hours of the up and down the fields. be safe out there winter is coming to enjoy the rewards of your labour. and as the ads say drink in moderation.

Did you guys get hailed out to? everything between rainier and bow city was basically non-existent.

Ours ranged from no damage, to 100% write off. The 100% happened on July 1st, and we still got 35 bushels an acre off of go wheat, on sandy soil.

it seems the world has gone zero tolerance for almost everything, as long as yer less than .08 % i see no problem with a beer being consumed. the .05 thing is taking it a little to far in my opinion, and all this before your proven guilty of anything. friggin nazis. just my opinion not of this station or anyone else for that matter. hehehe, i'll be gettin grief for this i'm sure.

I won't give you grief so to speak but I will say that 0.05 is just fine in my books.

If the cops did their jobs and Justice system did their jobs, we wouldn't have a problem.

Let the cops sit outside the drinking establishments and checkout all those who are driving (to hell with the I didn't doo anything wrong BS and you doo not have the right to harass me crap) and then tell the courts to lay down the law and give those over 0.08 the time, suspension, heavy fine, etc...

People would smarten up and there wouldn't be a problem.......just saying

And all you drinking drivers can flame away! I am not a tea-toter but I don't drink and drive anymore. Period!!!

What's everyone doing with their canola? We sold some off the combine and were planning on holding out until after January to see where the prices go for the rest. The price trend looks to be going downwards again though over the last 1-2 months. :rolldice.
