10.9 on tracks with 50' Mac cutting a disappointing crop!
Do any of you Southern Alberta guys know who is the New Holland "Farm Your Field" large scale Demo customer. We are the northern customer and I'd like to know who is the other operation to be able to compare notes and experiences but NH won't tell me who it is!

Ok it wasn’t that bad,I’m hoping we average out around 40, which is pretty low for this country typically

We had the best start I had ever seen, crops looked amazing until that July heat just melted the flowers off the canola, was heart breaking to watch
Ya but really we had a much hotter summer last year on 1/3 the rain so not sure why the canola took it so rough only thing we habe seen is roots didnt establish very well so dried out quick, we have some later liberty that flowrred for what seems like half the summer sorayed 3 weeks ago and the ch!t dont wanna die so thinking that will maker to the 40s

Yup. And there is a reason they want to move to mexico. Too expensive to do buisness in the US and too much liability...

I don’t agree.
Regardless of where the product is manufactured, the price of new units is the indication of what the market can bear….
These large corporations are only interested in margin. Hence the why they would want to move.

It will be interesting to see what happens come election time.

At what point does all business pick up and leave America????

We have it up north at Turtleford today, then back to Lloyd area for a couple of days. Webb's are getting on Saturday I think. In the wheat the most we could find was 3 kernel's...so basically 0 losses. Drop pan after drop pan we couldn't find much. I haven't been out with it in canola yet.
