    Just over half done. Standing wheat and canola left. Never get more than 2 days in a row. Was talking to a neighbor a couple days ago, he made an interesting point, 5 years nobody even thought of needing a grain dryer. Today in my area the outliers don't have a grain dryer. Yields on wheat roughly 2-3 bushels per acre higher than last year. Did our first bit of canola yesterday, it was swathed which was a good decision this year, looks to be yielding better than last year. Forecast for here calls for rain and snow on Sunday hope they are wrong.

      Fixing the 830 today and putting the sprayer away.

      We’re done for the year.

      Snow slowly melting no harvest till maybe Saturday if we get some kind of melt going on.

      Then if it flows it goes.

      Guys are starting to get very worried. Nothing has changed since August heat wave when the rain started as it pushed out. Every three to four days rain and lots.

        We were actually very lucky as this bit of snow will evaporate today if we get a few degrees. It could have been much worse from what the satellite showed. The forecast lost its balmy 10 degrees but here’s hoping those swaths are dry-ish and we can suck em up. We usually are done first week of Sept and even by labour day but we’ve also seen a couple of falls like this that ended with an awesome Indian Summer. We never left a crop out and all we can do is our best not to try that on for size. Keep plugging and keep safe. Good news-the election is looking more promising every day. The poll say 70% won’t answer and I think that’s a good sign - verrrry gud! Because, if the electorate was satisfied- they’d know - agree?

          We have peas, wheat and canola all done. Still alfalfa to do. Wheat samples are with the grain buyer so he can go over them with the bright lights and magnifying glass and then check falling number.
          Next big job will be trying to fix the mess of ruts we left behind. Open for suggestions.

              Such nice soil that seems hard to farm.

              Challenges of some sort everywhere.

                      The sun came out so got started on Alfalfa harvest. Yield looks decent just need the price to improve.
