VRT.. Echelon or Farmers Edge

Speaking of data, don't you find it a bit un-nerving that some equipment manufacturers are collecting data? To serve their clients better or to better serve themselves? Whose to say some of it doesnt get sold? There is definitely some benefits to having your equipment "connected" for trouble shooting/diagnosis and service but the rest of the information regarding your crops should be off limits.

Free wheat I agree selling canola for 5 or less is not fun. Oats under a dollar or flax with a 6 not 16!
It can and could happen. History repeats I always say. If houses in city drop by 63% wo wow the shit will hit the fan then all the Canadians who purchased homes in the USA using their home in Canada as security. Ouch this could be a ugly ugly year. Last time oil dropped the financial crash happened a few months later could that be May!

Does any one else wonder if buying anything ahead of spring seeding was wise this year?

Like claas telematics... yield moisture gps coordinates all get transmitted in real time.

Yes sf3 I'm thinking waiting till spring may have paid off, but pulled the trigger this week on fertilizer and canola seed, just didnt have the nerves of steel to wait for the input suppliers to drop the ball

With all the money getting printed ask yourself how we can still have deflation for very long.


Things are going to start happening very very quickly.

So land is cheap buy it. Buy it all. Bid more. Klause the new bto.

Still so fn busy in Grande Prairie. Test equipment going out, frac ponds going up and down daily from edson to fox creek to fort St. John

Can't wait to see the look on there faces when I tell'em I need 10 days off to go cruising.

the so-called experts have predicting higher interest rates for 2 years. anyone notice that it's not happening. the message is pay off debt, sell stocks and go to cash as much as possible. be happy if your land is paid off. just like some are doing now, waiting to fill their tanks as long as possible because tomorrow the gas and diesel price might be lower.
that's deflation, and it's scaring central bankers everywhere.

Hate to be a supplier or working for one. Pay cuts for everyone? Layoffs and million dollar houses to pay off!
How about the inventory some are carrying?
Machinery dealers lots are full. Next Ritchie will be interesting. Got an auction booked? Values are evaporating.
Lucky interest rates are SFA, maybe they will go lower? Keep floating, lock in lower rates in future? Nothing but stress.

So who owns the data? Claas, Deere, Case the software developers? Interesting... smells like a class action.

[Hopperbin]

I just ask my supplier what others soil tests are and I separate the bullshit. Jd if 1/3 of your land can benefit then why?
