We should get to 90% by tonight. Yesterday we had a great day and most in our area are done the harvesting. Lots finished and texted yesterday was a wonderful day. A Couple of us are still left.
Fall work all others are doing. From Ripping sloughs to profile to harrowing. Great fall to catch up wish I was getting at that stuff but the harvest is going well.
Looks like the weather is going to change again and not in a good way. I need 4 good days and sat is a questionable day.
We had 4 to 5 machines working this week but others now have other stuff to do.
If we finish we have two custom jobs to go to but starting to wonder if mother nature will win again. The finish line is just around the bend but might stumble and fall and not cross it this year.
F#$K I love farming.
The Parasites (Seed, Fert, Chem, Equipment, PRebuy) have been staying away till after we are done and ill thank them tomorrow.
I did do the math and if this is the last crop report of the year the Canola left in the field is worthless since were way over the crop insurance guarantee. Great program.
The above combine is the new next year 8250 Case. it will be at a few farms shows this winter only two built so far. Yea I'm a Deere guy but this thing was interesting to see. Still, haven't made up our mind but I can see one thing for sure Deere dealers are turning to much corporate bullshit and forgetting about the buyer the farmer. They need us but Bureaucracy and rules are way more important.
So still not sure how far we will get this year but the wet snow event for our area really nailed guys north of town. 30 miles north missed and great south 10 missed and great. We got moisture like always and boom right between the eyes. Oh well, I guess we had a good run this year but the extra yield we had will now balance out the same as others with lower yields. Basically might have the equivalent of my fertilizer bill out all winter.
But maybe two more days look good so we're going to keep giving it our all.
Now for politics, we have a carbon tax that our idiot leader Trudeau is going to put on all Saskatchewan people because he is a god. THen Porky Pig comes on the news and says Saskatchewan people will get 90% of there own money back. Plus a top up for westerners. Brad wall hit the nail on the head this sounds like a South African Prince or Timeshare presentation.
Ralphy boy then says it won't affect farmers.
You idiot, freight to coast will go up thanks to the cost. Fertilizer will go up, freight on chem and equipment etc. will go up. Drying costs. Etc. God the liberals know how to kill a group that opposes them with kindness. Young Trudeau is worse than his father.
Farming is one tough life and if some don't agree with me you have it so good you don't even know. Weather is our greatest problem but Gov Stupidity is second.
Have a safe final push with Fall 2018 and remember the ones at home are way more important than any crop that the parasites are just waiting to get a piece of.
