Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

And how big of a crew is required to calve out 600 cows, and seed, and fence, and clear bush, and etc. etc?

[sawfly1]

Well we got virtually nothing
For moisture out of any of this so
Far.
Had to fight railroad fires .
2 in a row. Of course CN crew working on windy days.2nd not sure
The cause . First was pretty much held to the right of way.
2nd was headed across my land and on to neighbors.

Everything seems to be headed to shit. Market wise.
But the solution will be the same
As it always is.
Eventually somebody will need what we have to sell.

Yes TRUDEAU is turning out to be a dick too. On a lot of fronts.

And we love to blame someone.
But the canola ,peas ,lentils,
Pork thing . Would all be the same
With Harper or scheer .
There is no way those two would not grab Meng to please Donald Trump. Tell me otherwise.

Blame Trump if you want someone
To blame.
her charges were simply
A US business move against China.

Well Look out Donald Trump.
If lieng on an application such a bad down there.


And why did they not go after the US banks that did not check the facts on Billions in loans.
US business politics.
And we pay the price
For taking sides

We bit the dragon in the tail
For the US.
And got punted.

And Donald could give a rat's
Ass about any loyalty from us anyway.
Lesson learned the hard way.

My folks are still here most of the time but do disappear for a few well deserved months throughout the year. My brother is here full time as well as my Dad’s cousin who started working here in the winter. My wife helps out too when the kids aren’t occupying her time. Generally we like to do everything “in house” although we just sent out the wheel loader to get the hydraulic pumps rebuilt since fix-it projects are backing up in our shop.

I love what I do and who I get to do it with 95% of the time. Even checking cows at midnight (could do without the snow though).



My folks at their surprise 40th anniversary party we threw for them from February. I’m grateful they gave us the opportunity and knowledge to do the things we do. Who could ask for more?😎

[woodland]

If our paths ever cross I’m buying the beer🍻

Agree that Trump could give a rats ass about Canada . But one needs to ask why ??
The very first time Freeland pranced down there to Washington thinking she was such a smart ass was a very dumb move. As well Trudeau himself being well ... himself.
Not defending Trump but these two leaders are on totally different planets.
Harper or Scheer would at least be able to work with Trump and not be a complete embarrassment to our country. This situation would have never got this far .

[SASKFARMER]

Congrats to your Folks that's a milestone.

Yes, you can treat without using a storm. We use this setup for peas. and barley.

For our wheat, we use the G40 seed treater. MAn, it works just as good as a 128000 machine except I get to keep the 120000. See stupid farmer that I am.

Demo again yesterday thanks, Rocky.

[farmaholic]

Demo? I have to buy the hats and beg for pens!

[SASKFARMER]

No pens for me.

See i even store it inside.

Or hide it from the truckers or the JD Salespeople.

[furrowtickler]

I like the case sprayer but I wish they would put the rad on top like a Massey or Lexion combine . Would be much better
And yes they need a 1600 or 2000 gal tank on that .

I don't think that's a fair analysis. Whoever was sent to Washington to renegotiate NAFTA was in an almost impossible situation with the Trump regime. You either rolled over and let the Americans walk all over you or you fought for Canada's interests. Freeland did the latter and I think she did it well in the circumstances. I think she has been the only stand out high caliber minister of this Trudeau government. I think the notion that had a Conservative minister been sent to Washington and sucked up to everything they wanted that we would have got a better deal is flawed - they'd have walked all over us and we'd have finished up with a much worse deal than we got.

Finally all bugs worked out on drill 2were going on peas drill one tomorrow on wheat.

And it rains!

I can’t justify spending seed treatment on peas worth 11-12 ac, when peas are what 6.25, I thought you and BASF weren’t best of buds anymore? Looks like you’ve kissed and made as your flags wave proudly in the wind. Lol

I see you have finally come to your senses and took “AIM” no pun and are seriously looking at something red on your farm. To me there is only one sprayer and it looks real good amongst all the green. Lol

They have hats and pens?

They don't even let me get a coffee when I go in there.

Grass its hard for me to start my day when I see your messed up posts first thing.

You clearly have a poor grasp of economics and our relationship with the US and what Canada really is.

Vitaflo is cheap and still works near as good as the $12 stuff .
New seed treatments are severely over priced for the value they provide .

The Hate for BASF is in full force. I took the flags from our summer student two years ago.
