Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[helmsdale]

Geez I am not the only guy in the country still running a 5710.

Dont worry... I'm plugging it in with an old 5000/1720. Fill every 30ac. Spray with a 4240jd with 10k hours on it and a system 62 flexi. Somehow I still manage to bin a couple bushels at the end of the year.

Since I got married years ago my wife has always worked in Regina. She had a very good paying job so why not. No one suffered at our house. It’s what ever works for each marriage. Plus I had some trees arriving down south and she can plant them. Some need 20 people to run a farm some need less than a handful.

Had no intention of disrespect Sask.

Decent drill but definitely high maintenance.

I plan on running this rig for ten years(at least), we are seeding the seventh crop with it this year.

We are a small acre farm and this thing will last longer than if was covering a pile of acres every year.

I will get my "depreciation's worth". Probably get good value when I dump it because it will be well maintained and decent shape.

p.s. just used your post to reply to, not targeting you.

But that wiseguy is funny.

Edit in: it's sixty feet and think it's still a size some farms will want to upgrade to. But I really believe the biggest will be hard to find homes for.

We just rebuilt the oldest drill over the winter and this spring. Helps having a mill rite in the family and he is fast doing bearings.

This drill will be used one more year or if I find a deal this summer. I want the mud one.


Ok here is our canola stubble.

Near zero value so cost per acre is near zero too. 21 crops, rarely needs any repairs. 3310 guys swearing daily, pouring $$ on them every year. Oh but no midrows so 70% less complicated. [ATTACH]4236[/ATTACH]

No worries fj, still using a 14 yr old maxim2 , fantastic simple light seeding tool . Cant imagine parting with it
Worth less than yours lol

Called the manure spreading good for now and got 472 loads out total. That was all the easy stuff to get and there’s still a bunch of piles in the bush and sloughs which will have to wait for next time. Must be in the second cycle of calving as they slowed up which is nice so we can get in the field.



This guy wins the cute award so far and just fell out today. The cleft palate calf we had did great but quit eating this morning and I’ll put him down tonight. There’s a spare calf from a heifer that refused to take her own so I’ll skin him out and play matchmaker tonight. Not the funnest job around.

Hope the sun sticks around for a while to get some ground ready 🍀

Momma is sure "heads up".

I seem to remember blacks as being good protective mothers. Usually "neat" udders and vigorous calves.

Kinda low maintenance, unlike the Bourgault drill!!!

Tell me about it😎
We got a 4710 (not a typo) drill in front of the shop that is getting rebuilt currently with all new sc****rs, disks, and hoses. We like the job it does though and with how much old hay-land and rocks it sees a shank machine isn’t an option.

Our cows are pretty low maintenance considering how much muskeg and bush they deal with. Only come home for two weeks at weaning and six weeks at calving. The rest of the year I only want to look at them and not touch them out in the field.


Pairs looking happy 3 miles from home last fall where we got a silage pit to burn up that’s been “aging “ for three years.

Good luck with your seeding........ I know we usually need it to get things done out here.
