Exactly Case IH , E . Coli , seriously guys come on .

............still waiting.

.....as little rain that is likely falling, it is getting real old watching all this rain/drizzle slide past us. All I need is a wee bit to stop fire from creeping in last years stubble when I burn this year's flax straw piles. We are ready to go

Is there a fire ban in the whole southwest and about half of south central and west central Sask?

Drizzly wet day, perfect to run the fans and pump moisture back in that super dry canola.

Take a gander at Accuweather American radar and satellite. Rain can't get across the border.

Remember the Walkerton water crisis? E. coli in water there. Can anyone imagine the damage to the canola market should E. coli contaminate oil or the meal? Consumer confidence would be gone. It would be like BSE but for canola.

How did ecoli get into flour mills across Canada this summer? Pretty quit on origin of that.

It must have been quiet, I didn't hear of it.

But, re water in canola, it's not illegal to do, but beware your water source. There are abandoned farmyards with unsealed wells all over the prairies. Grassfarmer can talk intestines, and I don't care if it's intestines, mouse droppings, or unclean arseholes, E. Coli happens (t shirt idea). Contamination can occur anytime. If you want to moisten canola run your fans in rain or fog. Well water can't be trusted.

Grain cos run their HAACP protocols and food safety (samples) programs. The liability if something goes wrong traces back to the origin. Avoid it being you.

Meanwhile like Klause said the pigeons can keep shitting in the elevator driveway....

Agree but there is no way to prove it was your grain. The sampler equipment or container was not disinfected or even cleaned between loads.
I've seen thousands of samples and not one could be traced beyond reasonable doubt. Never stand up in court. Elevators don't even keep samples in prescribed manor as required in the act.

But yes don't put anything in your grain that you wouldn't put in your mouth. Grain is food.

Wasn't that quiet you must just have missed it.

Yet the "Farm Assurance" regulations we had to comply with in Scotland in the 1990's meant we had to prevent birds and rodents from crapping in piles of feed grain that was to be fed to cattle in an effort to reduce ecoli levels in the guts of slaughter cattle. A result of the 1996 Wishaw ecoli outbreak that killed 21 people - due to a butcher's shoddy practices.

Maybe this time we will get some much needed rain and won't miss it again ..

Will be on Soybeans by Sunday if they are ready

Soybeans won't take no harm sitting thru a rain even if they are not ready...will they?


Last year they stood thru the October snow and combined well on November. ...from what I seen. ...it would be nice to be done....
