    Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, till you get there and find it's harder to mow...

    Maybe farming should have been like conscription, sometimes feels like a "service" for your country anyway, it's risky if you're called to active duty and it would give you a sense of appreciation for those who do it.

      Braveheart for the sake of Agriville I hope you get more rain. It's a breath of fresh air when you post. I hope to me some day.

      For the sake of all our farms let's hope for another month of last week in Davidson's weather

      Crop is full of fusarium but it won't get better so at least lets hope it drys up so we can prepare for next year.

        I have Quigleys rifle. Does me no good without his eyes!
        You see more high speed discs here but crap are they expensive! Mounted Valmars making a comeback. You will never again see tillage for tillages sake. Trash management is a different matter. Mind you a drought fixes that too.

          Lots of brand new deep tillers in southern mb. Guys are mostly caught up with field work, so going for a second pass just for fun.

            And then the vertical tillage units come out after cultivating, followed by two passes with the heavy and mid harrows. Esso dealer has a smile on his face.

              All the iron dealers and tillage tool guys party with the fuel dealers/refiners!
              Good going guys, we call it recreational tillage because like organic farms it accomplishes very little! Just feels good.

                Braveheart

                From your posts,sounds like you got farming all figured out as compared to your neighbors. Not to mention all world situations. As for dairy,sounds like you're obviously envious of their success!As you stated" They eliminate the competition from anywhere" Braveheart have you not witnessed what's been going on with regard to big business around the world. That's the whole idea eliminate competition. You yourself said your waiting to buy out your neighbors once they fail!! I guess it's ok when it suits you. What's happened to the Ag industry alone? Competition being eliminate everyday.

                Dairy farmers are busting their asses 24/7. Good for them. I have no problem with hard working people being rewarded. Braveheart you shouldn't either as things like that tend to eat away at a person.

                Breath of fresh air, hardly.

                  I have milked cows. We shipped cream when I was a kid. I know what it takes.

                  Do I have it figured out? Not hardly. I hope I never do as that would take some of the fun out of it.

                  The more I learn, the less I know.

                  As far as the neighbours, I hardly know what they're doing. I am focused on what we have to do and it's fine. I watch my closest neighbour when I drive by in case he's in a bind, hurt, needing help, or has the open sign on, and cold beer in the fridge.

                  I love hard working people. I dislike attitudes that are envious, irresponsible, narcissistic, blame everyone and everything else attitudes.

                    A self styled "libertarian" who supports the dairy marketing monopoly. Surprise, surprise more like a Lieberal.

                      Haha. Surely you guys can do better. Nettie Wiebe used to have a lot more creative names for me than that.
