Harvesting dilemma

[bucket]

This spring an older guy said we would just be going through the motions. ...next time I hear that.....the sprayer is making 2 passes and I am going to the lake....

No one gets paid properly to do this shit. ...

Can't buy anything over 14.5 ....well maybe they should invest in dryers instead of individual farmers....

If you have 200000 bushels to dry it's not a small investment...

Dad calls me on the cell yesterday as I was running a test. Says because of climate change we are going to have to gear up different, get more aeration etc. Just about choked on my sandwhich.

I am surprised by the number of ordinary people who probably vote Conservative and don't like Trudeau who admit human caused climate change is real.

And your father is right. Farmers will have to adapt to more erratic weather, longer droughts, longer wet spells and longer heat waves, and bigger precipitation events.

Prairie weather is always erratic but the intensity and frequency of events is increasing.

Not if you’ve been here for 140 years.

This harvest reminds me of an old drunk pissed to the gills stumbling around...

One step forward. Two backward. Five sideways. One more back. Three forward. Fall over and struggled to get back up only to do it all over again.

He got demoted right after saying that.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG, 1930's disaster decade, 1950's a decade from WET HELL, 1970's frost wet cold, 1980's drought decade, 2000 HOT HOT, 2010 flood, 30% seeded rest fallow. And this COLDEST year ever on prairies, NO forest fires, even WET in BC, what a shame it's not burning to scare our kids! F ck off your Climate BS!

Climate change is just a big hoax to scare people into allowing the Government to confiscate more of your hard fought for money.

The carbon tax will do nothing to improve the weather....but it will make you poorer! It’s really sick how these climatards are scaring the kids. Geez.

The weather has been in flux forever, dozens of shitty falls I have seen; grain left out, piles to dry all winter, nothing new, the struggle is always real.

It just seems worse because our farms have grown
....so lots of work in front and the cost of doing business has sky rocketed making the stress level higher.

But as an old guy that worked for me said...” if it was easy everyone would be doing it”

Good lord it's like a bunch of guys having drinks sitting around the kitchen table discussing challenges in their lives, and that one guy in the corner who hasn't chimed in yet just cant help himself...

He leans ahead, and matter of factly proclaims, "clearly, what all you devil worshipping sinners need is JESUS!"

He whips out his tattered King James and proceeds to read revelations, followed by all the verses he has bookmarked with wore out sticky notes, highlighting the terribleness of eternal damnation.

Everyone's eyes glass over...
Some laugh, some act like he isn't there, one turns his hearing aid off.
But everyone wonders, "who invited this guy?"

Well helmsdale;,
laugh, scoff, ridicule, judge... and was the point made; to 'blame' Jesus for all our problems?

Climate Change, Evolution, evil, despair, fear...all a part of free will decisions... of human consciousness,

No 'bed of roses'...many thorns waiting [like your judgements] for those who trust in Jesus... we know 'in this world there will be trouble'... yet faith that all can work towards a good outcome... what is so wrong with the special gift of the carpenter from Nazareth who lived a loving positive life and afterlife attitude?

When did Jesus himself ever deceive you.... that you now are justified to blame the crucified gift of unconditional love to humanity... for simply existing and sacrificing his life for me [and anyone else whom chooses the 'Way']? God bless you... I hope and pray good harvest days are ahead... if not... like in 2016 for us... there is always the spring of 2020 to finish the 2019 harvest!!! Cheers
