Floater Truck Canola

[Partners]

The neighbor seed his canola with a floater truck, then harrowed it..It looks just fine...Its the same or maybe even better than mine...It was seeded at the end of may...So it works, if anyone is interested...

We did close to 2 quarters on pigshit and added Sulfer with seed. Did seed heavier to speed up crop later on. Looks really good.

SF3. thought everything was under water or turning purple? or is it relatively looking really good now?

Floater trucks have not moved much here. Dead in the water.

SF3. whats the problem. I am just a little confused as to how bad it is where you farm. It seems like it changes each day, just looking for clarification.

There is the trick, You have to be able to keep the floater truck from sinking. I dont even know how you could possibly harrow in these conditions. Water everwhere, roads washed out, 15 inches of rain since snow melt here. Yes floating will work if the conditions are right, but in some places they arn't great.

Vwalk I give report from Kamsack to Regina. Look on map that's the area either I am up their on weekend or back every night to city. That's the area I drive farm in middle so. If you cover an area like that daily tell us what you see. I'm confused.

[SASKFARMER3]

The word floater truck really doesn't mean it will float. Once loaded even half give er strait then have to just about come to complete stop on corner you sink. It its 4x4 little better but chewing it up. Its a hit and miss but if have ground fertilized its an option. Field by Lorlie that's harrowed really interesting what will happen their.

The good looking emergence was done two weeks ago. If it turns out, why are we using $1/4 million air drills at 4.5mph?

fjlip, what I see on AV posts, is that zero till for the land is important. Others would suggest efficiency in one pass. I really had this decision to make about 5 years ago. If you spend $200,000 on a new air drill, and $125,000 on a good HC sprayer, then you can start saving!! I chose to spend that value on land, and keep using the stone age technology. does not look that good of an operation, but paying for land compared to renting it for decades.

I zero till,but if I were to sell my whole seeding unit(tractor,liquid buggy,old cultidrill ,and aircart)I would be lucky to get$120000.Sprayer maybe 40000.I also hate spending money on iron.
