Thanks Giving!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well I guess we can be thankful their is a nice crop out their ( Still in the field). Thankful it didn't snow a foot. Thankful for all the moisture for next years crop. Trying to send it to the SW. Also thankful we live in a country your not persecuted for speaking your mind.
Happy thanks Giving! I always say the Canadian is way to early we celebrate the US holiday, but to all a safe holiday weekend. (Even Dave and Snapper) Oh the bell rang I have to go to class snapper. HA HA HA HA.

We are thankful it did not freeze in early Aug. There would have been zero to harvest. We would all be done, but waiting for swamped insurance adjusters, and buying out of deferred contracts.

Need to invent a heater to melt snow on swath before combining. Have no contracts till Jan so should have something off. Yea if it would have froze in august it would have been a real easy harvest. Would have had the Crop insurance check already and machines all put in shed for winter. Oh well lets hope week of 18Th has some sun.

Heating up the swaths? The environmentalists should be after you for warming the planet, hehe.

A BTO in the area used a grain vac to blow snow off swaths in front of combine in 2001 when a lot was done after some snow!

When doing snow harvesting we were able in 2002 to do thousands of acres of Canola with inches of snow on swaths.

Start after midnight when temp is lower than minus 12 degrees C and the snow pretty well stays suspended. Larger Ice crystals go in hopper with Canola.
