This little 5500 acre field will produce a lot of bread this fall. Off to a very good start.

Sometimes life throws an opportunity your way & u have to close your eyes & jump in. We are excited to announce that we have taken over AgraTactics Agronomy. Thx to Al & Wendy for trusting us to take over the business they worked so hard to build & hope to build upon your legacy.

We have to start charging money for raising such nice elk. They eat enough peas and canola. It’s a beauty

This is only our 2nd year working with SR seedmaster drills. I have to say mortality is almost nil and germination on seed is 100% this year. I think seeding rates will go👇next year as we get more comfortable with this drill.

Branded 30 heifers with my brothers this evening and then went and looked at some crop. This has caught a few timely rains, this is our L233p seeded into sod. Nice way to end the day, heading back to yorkton.

My sandy ridge that has got good rain, so far. We seeded oats here early to help build up some residue. When the rains came we topdressed it with some extra fertilizer. Seeded on a very poor pea stubble crop last year. Seems to be doing pretty good.

My first ever block, I figured it would come but from a vegan or some other wing nut. I guess he is self isolating from anything other than Cory’s ideas. Isolation is getting the better of people I think. Wow!

For me telling growers that there crops aren’t fungicide worthy is tough for me. It’s like telling them they have an ugly kid or like Elaine on Seinfeld debating if the guy she is dating is sponge worthy or not.

Kaden learning how to drive tractor. His first tractor was a lot bigger than the 806 international I learnt on. I also didn’t have gps assistance, just saying. He also hasn’t taken out any fence posts either like I did with the diamond harrows.

Two farms we work with, both diligently watched there seeding depth this year. Two different drill manufacturers and both set at 1 inch depth due to dry spring and both not seedhawk/seedmaster. I’m like a proud dad. Great job!

I’ve been giving my wife grief lately over giving too much of our money to Jeff Bezos. She was going to order a couple books on Amazon for our kids for Christmas. I told her to support local. Turns out the local book store sells them for the exact same price. Go figure!

So a guy just said to me “ you kinda know stuff about soil, should we be working our land to stop disease? The guys in Manitoba work the shit out of there fields and have great crops.” Me: “if you want your soil to end up in Manitoba then work it, we need to conserve moisture”

Came home to the farm & got the call that there was a grass fire west of Arcola. Actions of the Arcola/Kisbey volunteer firefighters/farmers/oilfield workers made quick work of putting it out before it could get rolling.

Hear lots of negativity towards agronomists on twitter sometimes and u wonder why u do it. Days like today are the reason I love doing what I’m doing. 1st grower “let’s do the rest of the farm”, 2nd grower “I don’t know where it’s all f-ing come from”

This is scary when leaders start talking like this. Certain dictators in history manipulated the media and squashed the voice of the people.

It’s amazing who you will run into north of Insinger while scouting fields. I’m surprised Boyd got off the boat or away from his mirror.

Queue the dwarf/hobbit jokes. This L350 is tall, too tall for my liking. Hate to see if it actually rained. First 2 pics east of a bluff of trees(sheltered), last pic is in the middle of field with no trees around.

Where did CTV find the farmer from Hanley that says there is climate change because his crop is still out in the field. And now there are moose and elk in his area. Maybe people quit hunting and they are finally coming back.

I remembered today why I don’t like midrow banders on a drill. I was actually contemplating my next drill with midrow shanks, scrap that. They should be called midrow weedfeeders.

First time I stepped on this field in 2001 it was solid wild oats, dandelions, cleavers and chickweed. This field has come a long way and I have been lucky enough to go with the land. This wheat has some potential.

Read an article in
@westernproducer
that
@GeneralMills
is trying to drive producers away from using pesticides. They said the have found glyphosate in parts per billion in oats. To put that in perspective thats like 1 second in 30 years. Farmers aren’t drenching crops in chemical

Folded this old girl up for the last time today. Think I have owned it for 12 years, has never let us down. I hope the crops behind the 2005 seedmaster can stay on par with this 1994 seedhawk.

“Field ready” is very overrated term. Changing oil and putting fuel in doesn’t make it ready.

5-6 years ago had a meeting with a producer. At the time we couldn’t work with him. But made one suggestion to remove the phos from his seedrow on his seedhawk. His crops have greatly improved since the conversation.
