Farmers are Hunkering Down!

One guy north of us has a sweet set up for canola.
Flexi coil cultivator on 15 in space
Techno Till openers
Valmar
Liquid cart behind
-Always has one of the best canola crops in the country year after year
Pulls with an older Case 9370 at about 1500 rpm that uses very little fuel/ ac

Anouther set up is the same cultivator on 12 in with a tow between Flexi tank with Techno Till openers and all dry fert - same results - always one of the better crops around .

I feel as little guilt in owning a Bourgault PHD as you do shame in what you have... So we're even.

[freewheat]

Well, umm. hmm, you should feel guiltier, farmaholic, so there!

Furrow, he must seed at half-rate due to spacing? Has anyone experimented with decreased seed rates and spacing?

[furrowtickler]

I think he seeds around that 3.5 lb mark depending on seed size
Also has far less disease persire than most considering his high rate of fertility. He is not overly concerned of Sclerotina except for heavy lower lying areas.

We have a guy using the tec drill on a deere 1610 floating always a nice crop!
But klaus and freewheat to farm larger Acerage with old equipment in wet Areas don't work! You loose a week due to breakdown upon breakdowns your done before you start!
Not once have I ever traded because I was ashamed! Wtf!
First flexicoil no till was for a reason two 4 wheelers one banding one seeding and the third pulling harrow packer or one tractor pulling 56 ft!
Iron is iron! Now yea my old cat is old 1974 but hey the week or two it gets used it is fun to run! Yes the tracks rollers and motor is like new! Previous owner!
Never ashamed out running it!
Now each should run what works on their farm the BTOs who think it's only a lease payment I wish you luck your one year old shit is great!
