What is that bright ball in the sky??? Sky is blue too, rather than grey! We're out inverting the swaths. Hay actually seems pretty dry. Would be nice if we could recover some of it.

I know it's like there is some sort of huge ball of burning gas in the sky!! Like a nucular furnace 93 million away in the sky. We desicated and are swathing right in front of the combines so the swather finds the wet spots first

Sometimes I forget why I do this but today It would take a table saw to get the smile off my face

Did everyone get the frost we got last night??? Down to -8 at the farm, east of lacombe.... Pretty much toast for this year

I think the lowest it got down to was 16.8, i think we are just going to keep going dry or not.Iam isolating all the headlands as the ergot gets less out in the open, still bad enough though.

Thanks for just pissing me off already this morning.LOL
FYI. The CWB " canadian wheat board" is a government run organization mandated BY LAW to market wheat from western canada only. We are forced,by law to market our grain though them and yet they have almost no accountabilty to the producers. Producers in eastern canadian provinces are free to move their own products to markets of their choice, Whereas western producers have actually gone to prison for this act.

yep ....this should be another post topic without a doubt! Remember when I was a kid my Dad and uncles talkin about it when I was a kid. Its phugging Canadian Gov Mafia!
A carpenter can build tables, hutches, chairs and market them all over the world, welders can make signs, racks and just about anything and market and sell to whoever they want, seamstresses etc. but tell me why our farmers need a phugging permit book and are put on a quota based sell but more importantly has to sell through our governement? I used to truck a lot of grain and there were a few farmers who actually loaded their trucks and went south and sold openly to US buyer....they got locked up...jailed).isn't it great to live in a free trade country like Canada? PHUUUUG!!!!!!!!.....there....fell better....sorry for the rant! Here's to supporting our Canadian farmers

just spent 2 days taking off 300 ac of red wheat came off at 18.

Well finished off the green peas yesterday...testing 14.9 ....what's with all the mole hills? Few times I was picking up more dirt then pea's. The pea's were waist high till they fell over FLAT on the ground. There was some banging around in the twin rotors as I was making gravel on a few occasions. Gonna service the combine and clean her out and try the yellow peas today..hope they are dry but I think there gonna be tough...they are at the hard chew stage when I checked them yesterday.
