Dear chemical and ag retail companies,
When purchasing chemical, can we get a pair of chemical gloves rather than the free hat?
Thanks

So… we bought some bred cows…
And I told my wife she could pick the tags.
Style, colour, whatever, as long as they all look similar to make sorting easy.
She picked pink ✅

Another 1st for McRae Land & Livestock this year. Rather than spreading raw manure in the spring, we composted it and are now spreading in the fall.
Less material to haul, less compaction in the field, and hopefully he same or better nutrients to next years crop!

Looking for an experienced air drill operator to come run our drill for 4ish days, so I can run it at night.
It’s a nice setup rig, and my wife is a great cook! Includes lodging. We are near Brandon, MB.

Today was the big sort!
Lessons learned:
1. Corrals designed for 100 head don’t work as well with 508 head in them,
2. If things aren’t going well, STOP! And re-group. Give the cows a rest for 15 min and try again
3. I have some amazing help that puts up with my crazy ideas!

Pod integrity of the Invigour variety’s is dramatically better than all others.

Finished harvesting the best field of oats I have ever grown last night!!
CDC Nasser oats. I think the yield monitor is a bit optimistic, but it was still very good!
Interesting part: in the starter phos trial, 40lbs of 11-52-0 out yielded 80lbs!

Marginal land may be unsuitable for cultivated cropland, but that doesn’t stop beef cattle from converting this land into high quality, nutritious beef protein.

Weaned heifer calves last week, off of corn grazing with their moms.
Keep them in the yard for 3-6 weeks,
Then turn them back into the corn with their moms, but supplement the calves with alfalfa hay in a creep pen.
On a scale of 1 to Barrel Racer, how crazy is this idea?

Got started seeding yesterday!
Cameras in the drill sure are nice, especially for doing trials, I was able to see exactly when the seed ran out!
Hope everyone has a great seeding season!!

PSA: pioneer hydraulic couplers can close off and restrict flow even if they have been working fine all day.
Enough to lower fan speed and plug your drill.
Also, if you need a $1600 fan motor for a NH P series air cart, I now own 2 of them.

Relay crop under oats. IRG, Crimson and red clover. Seems to be more clover here than under the canola. Also quite a bit of volonteer annual rye grass from last year. Should make for good grazing!! Looks like there will be some oats here too!
