CWB decides not to offer B and C this year.

in manitoba the feed mills are paying as more for feed wheat as the board is for #1

[Hopperbin]

Well we are fortunate to have strong local feed prices in fact all of mine is going to the feed mill. That is not the point. We currently have a monopoly seller of our grain that we are forced to deal with that is pulling out of taking offer of our grain.

I agree Hopperbin. I sent an email to the Ritz and Anderson asking for the opportunity to sell into the open market as soon as the Bill passes. I don't think it will happen, but I had to ask.

Will do, Hopperbin!


It's shaping up to be a busy year here in
the 'patch... if ya'll know anyone who
wants to make ~3,000 a week, send them to
Savanna Energy

[Hopperbin]

**** I hate you guys paying these big bucks when I want to take holidays. My mid life thingy.

[checking]

I'm disappointed. I thought there at least would be a reflection of a knife next to the rig in the spill pond!!!! Big (SIGH)

Hi Klause, is that a top drive conventional or a coil rig?
It looks like some kind of hybrid from a distance.
Doesn't look big enough to handle 4000 meters of
stem or casing. Is it quiet and clean?

These rigs are top drive conventionals. No coil injectors. The company has been slowly retrofitting and refurbishing their doing nothing coil fleet, to these units. They are split 3 ways from the substructure, drawworks, and derrick for weight restrictions as necessary. Fully automated with iron roughnecks, hydraulic catwalks etc. They are AC electric driven. Small fast moving rigs capable of big pulling. Ideally suited to shallow horizontal work in environmentally sensitive areas. Have a great winter Klause!

This is actually an upgraded version of all the
buildings from Trailblazer's hybrid coil rigs.... The
carrier/rig itself is all-new....

The rig is a FDS Topdrive rig.... Super Single.


450HP Detroit 60 series floor motor, 400HP Detroit
60 series light plant, 2x 750HP DetroitMTU engines
run two 1000 series pumps.

There are no tongs, no manual slips, and no manual
elevators on it... everything is hydraulic, you
basically stand there and flip levers, no manual
labour while drilling.


I got a few days off now. The rig is ready to rock
and roll on Monday
