Got two and a half minutes? Watch my latest attempt at video editing some 2020 farming footage. I'm no J J Abrams but I do find it fun to put these together when I find the time. Let me know what you think.

3 combines rolling, another showing up today and number 5 maybe tomorrow... Lots of oats, wheat, barley and peas are very close to go. Swathers will need to be cutting canola in about a week too. It's about to get bizzeh.

I made a pre payment on land loan yesterday for the first time. Man that felt weird. I looked at other options of what to do with the $ and figured picking the highest interest loan i have and paying the max w/o penalty is the safest investment.

We don't stop for supper often during harvest, we did for this farm Thanksgiving meal. It was supposed to be a field meal but we decided to make it easier on those preparing it by coming to them. So much to be thankful for.

Here we were wrapping up some of the last straight cut canola about a week ago. We’re almost done all post harvest spraying and now it’s just a bunch of flax to do before calling harvest complete. It’s been hard to wait to get going on flax but hey, it’s still September.

Follow me for more #autonomous farm innovation. Here, we've replaced a tractor operator with a stump. It's a low cost up front investment that requires little maintenance and can work 24 hours a day. You may think that automation is complicated, but this is very user-friendly.
