24 crops and the weather won.

[Braveheart]

Freewheat, driers and air and all that work if you can actually harvest the crop.

First thing, talk to your creditors re the situation. Don't wait till it's late in and you need help. Explain how you continue to be an "overcomer". You're an innovator. You're frugal. You have a passion for what you do. Show them your financial affairs and talk contingencies. Being proactive with anyone you do business with will stand you in good stead.

Good luck. Hope you get it though.

One thing is for sure. I am rooting for you to get done.

You are certainly a resilient fellow.

[cottonpicken]

Dont worry to much in less then 24 months you will be the richest guy you know.

I have a 400 Moridge dryer.... Works well. Sask farmers old unit. Do you wanna use it? Good tires if you want it just come and I'll help you hook on

[sumdumguy]

Propane is cheap to run Klause's dryer, a good week ahead and hopefully no more rain in your neck of the woods. Here's hoping the stars line up for you. You have a lot of people rooting for you.

I am hoping you get the crop. After being squeezed out myself due to some of the same problems I can tell you that most ways of making a living outside government are also fickle. Unless you are well connected, job hunting right now will be various shades of suck. There are far fewer opportunities than it appears and fewer than the silver spooners think there are. If you have outlying quarters consider a sale and rent back but preserve the home base at all costs. (Central bank money printing can't last forever can it) Agristability and crop insurance are your enemies not your friends right now. Agri invest I hope will help.

Very kind of Klause to offer his portable grain dryer.
(Propane was about 33 cents/litre a few weeks back.)

Well, thanks for the wishes and input guys. Just what I expect from y'all. And to Klause, an extra thank you yet again!

I have at least two guys who will dry for me, so that is covered.

But soaking swaths under snow is more my concern right now. Not sure if it will get good enough to run through or not. Before the rain and snow, it was pretty slow and juicy!!!

I am more concerned actually having combine-able crop, than I am with getting it dried after the fact.

Not much snow on the beans, they should be ok after it melts off. They were ready only three days after the last rain with pretty cool days.

I hate to be blunt but, you have got to get aeration or a dryer on that farm if you intend to succeed as a farmer in the future. The weather is going to sink you if not this year the next one. You've been pushing your luck for far to many years.

I sincerly hope you are able to get your crop off and make a go of it.

Why are you not taking Klaus upon his offer, it makes good sense to me, this way you got it at hand right away, and you could use the neighbors as well?


Riders

All the best to you as well, and I hope the weather smartens up for you as well!!!

[freewheat]

Forage, bluntness is fine and dandy. I know what I need, and I need a lot of money to do it, and I simply have not had good fortune.

If you knew something of my farm history, what I started with, or should I say without, what I have already overcome, and my effort to build a basic farm machinery package, you would "get it" better.

Klause is about 80 miles from here, and I have drying lined up within a mile of the field, at two dryers, so I politely declined.

Finally, I am not concerned about the grain once I combine. That is covered well. I am nervous whether I will get the grain in the first place. Dealing with it after is no big deal at all.

It is hard to judge a situation unless you know the ins and outs of the situation.

Thanks, I am ok with blunt comments.
