We boycott all the shows. The parasites at these types of events can shove the shit their peddling right up their ass!

Unfortunately tied up for aim but would like to attend for shits and giggles. Been offered by a couple companies I deal with to jump on the bus. For us northerners langham is more convenient as Regina is at the other end of the world lol. That said any of these “informative” events are mental candy and nothing more. It’s all to sell something and if you’re in the market that’s fine. I find as I get older my bs meter gets more sensitive and these sorts of events don’t interest me much. I’d sooner save my time and money and spend a few minutes here and there talking to govt agronomists on the phone. They usually have impartial data to back up what they say.

****...is Tuesday going to be hot for both AIM and the IHARF field day at Indian Head. Better think about taking an umbrella to either to keep the sun off. When are Western Canadian farmers going to smarten up and start wearing full wide brim hats? Break the old and start the new trend....there are some real stylish looking hats.

Mallee, do you wear a full brim hat or the ball cap?

How is the show?

Any air conditioned cool areas?

The plots have hail damage. Makes it sorta harder to compare different varieties etc. Obviously no ones fault just woulda been nice to know it hailed there. Doubt we would have gone if we had know that.
Otherwise the show was ok.

We opted for the Indian Head Agricultural Reasearch Foundation field day today. They only highlight some of the trials at the field day. Lots of interesting and good work being done there. It was a long hot day, but they gave out lots of cold bottled water and fed us lunch and supper. It was also their 25th anniversary this year.

There has been criticism of where our commodity check off dollars get spent....some of those check off dollars are supporting some research at IHARF.

Iharf does a great Job I can’t believe it’s 25 years.

I opted for AIM.

Great hit day and crops aren’t to hit all way north . Heat starting to really show up.

It’s a bin buster. Ha

Our worst sand "spots" are beginning to fry.
Our whole crop could use a good shot of rain....but no matter what happens between now and harvest I still think our yeilds will be ahead of last year(on our farm)
Surprisingly though, our crops on average are taller than the plot crops at the research farms. We've had nearly double their rain fall this growing season. There are some wide cracks in that heavy clay soil already.
