Harvest Time!!!!

[AllisWD45]

Don't know about other areas but around here hay and sometimes straw in short supply. Most cattlemen can make enough on their own land. Pretty rare for a big grain farmer to have a conventional combine where you can bale straw.
Actually two things around here are getting few and far between. Hay fields for rent they have all been taken out to grow Canolaaaa and and people who actually keep cattle.

A harvest recollection from earlier days is the wheat board unit quotas which were 300 bushels wheat, 500 barley or 800 oats for each permit book holder.
Remember my father sharing a combine with two uncles and a cousin.
They were good wheat pool and wheat board supporters but when the first one had his quota full, other ones used to allow deliveries under their quotas before elevator got full. Later, they would even things out.
RIP wheat board monopoly.
