Seeding progress 2013!

[newguy]

Thought we would be the 20th but things
have jumped so we will be going next
monday. Weeds are just starting now. Still
a bit of snow around but 26 with a wind
will fix that tonight. If we do not get a
May long weekend rain even we should get
the crop seeded in good time.

Started Friday. Still some snow banks to seed
around and working from drier land to wetter stuff
as I go. 1800 in thus far it is perfect seeding
conditions but the SW will need water in June or
will be a bust as moisture is not deep. 16-24" on
average

Some seeding started around hills at Jackfish Lake. Water still runnin in main water runs. Some of our land still filling up, but stand alone potholes drying up fast. Backroads still plugged with big snow banks. Hopefully within 5 days for us.

Jd you pulling a new seed master with the seed master tank?
Just wondering how its staying together if they finally have the frame problems of the past fixed. Does the tank work really good.

Furrow you sound like us, Snow on back roads deep and not melting fast. Snow along tree lines and water running every where. Some potholes dried up some sloughs getting bigger by the day. Light land to east of me maybe Friday. Heavy dirt next week middle maybe. Lots of long days ahead. Wait and make water run. Frank how is that V ditcher working with your cat. Looks like fun yesterday on the drive back.

Snow 99% gone, now to dry up the water and get the frost out. No sign of anything growing. Bring on the HEAT and WIND, at least in the NE!

Yes sf3 70' master with a nova 560 cart. The cart
is awesome. Scary accurate with rates with the
individual tanks, u can watch your weights in cab
and adjust cal numbers on the fly.. Couple of
minor glitches so far but nothing serious. The
sectional control works exactly like it does in your
sprayer and is fantastic. Very low airflow
requirements. Pushing 240 Ibs fert over 70
openers with 3500 rpm with no plugging. Easy
easy cleanout. Switched seed and reloaded cart
in 1/2 hr today. NO BS !! The manifolds are
excellent. Been running high k blends and peat
based inoculants etc and they are as clean as
new. The raven monitor system is really nice, but
as I run a patriot I'm familiar with raven
equipment. Only one thing wrong with it, I
shoulda bought bigger

Our seed master needs to be replaced by 2014 so
good to know thanks!
