The drying trend is continuing in more ways than one. Windy every day and temps in the teens made me put on leather boots for the first time this year. Also got the new “to us” dryer delivered too. Picking it in the wind was quite fun but went smoothly. The crane only needed a boost after sitting for a year.



Calving is rolling along and we hit 25% today. It’s going so-so but at least the weather is on the nicer side and mud disappearing is helping too.
The catcher has helped out a lot and probably cuts our time in half for tagging and moving them. It took a two person chore and turned it into a one person enjoyable experience.

The fall rye is coming back to life although way later than normal as lots of years it would be ready to start grazing shortly.
No combining here yet and I’m very thankful we got it off last fall. Our little old dryer worked it’s heart out last year and I’m looking forward to setting up this one and getting gas to it which will be nicer than seeing the propane truck wayyyy too often.

Good luck everyone. The wind is straight outta the west here so I hope it helps everyone else get closer to rolling. 🍀

Amazing and glad for you how the sample held up. Wow.

A suggestion if I may for those planning a bigger garden. I think you would do far better to feed a calf? Or maybe a bigger garden AND feed a calf up? Between the density of actual meat, and the fact that it may become very pricey, maybe it is time to bring back a critter to the farm? Put in for the moose and elk draw and hope? Lol

I guess it depends on what you will grow in the garden with the idea to preserve it, which is a pile of work...

If anyone needs a freezer calf I would gladly provide some this fall with the way prices are slip sliding away for cattle on the hoof. I’ve got ammo and a sawzall for cutting 😉

Hopefully it rebounds soon”ish” ..............

It’s federal land and I can’t push bush. No cat deal.


Oh just had combine one go south and it’s sinking a bit.

Fun times pulling them out a few times today.

Still on wheat as last 100 acres might be interesting.

Tomorrow.


Then 9 quarters of canola and she is all done for 2019.

Interesting to see how your canola handled the winter. I have heard of some real horror stories from previous harvests from hell. Hopefully it turns out for you,grade and yield!

Seen some combines going in the vicinity of the Ghetto
Seen first set of harrows as well.
Little further away someone tried harrowing combined flax swaths from last fall, too wet and making a mess, surrendered and baled it, much much cleaner job 👍.
We're pumping afew strategic pot holes....when winds permit.
Someone is breaking up some old hayland on light land, probably drier than my humour.
We've been aerating down marginally tough #1 wheat, terminals don't have much blending power this year, have to do what you have to do.
Almost all of our July/Aug delivery(picked-up) canola is already gone....good experience! May not happen next year like that.
Worked on ignorant electronic issues on seeding outfit, one Raven monitor needed "service", I guess taking it into the house over winter for the last 8 years wasn't good enough!
I learned just how sensitive CANbus communication is, wiring harness protecting loom on the hitch of the drill was deteriorating, so Dr. Do Good thought it would be a good idea to replace it but put the CAN harness in the same loom as the harness that controls the Bourg opener electric controls....not a good idea, scrambled the CAN signal, separated them and SURPRISE....Everything works fine again.....but looked for a cause a long time!
Sold some green peas for $12.50. Yellow Mustard left to price but might end up singing Happy Birthday to it for 1 to 3 years....60 cents isn't in the cards...last two times I grew that I got 60 cents....kinda sets the price bar too high, quality isn't the best.

Silly season is right around the coroner!

[SASKFARMER]

Pea prices for fall are increasing.

Ukraine has issues this spring.

Canada has frozen ground.

Its a good thing so far but for how many more days. If it rains next week the ground will thaw and firm and maybe harvest and the seed will happen on remaining.

Will see after today.

yesterday was slip slide and away at the end.

[Hopalong]

Been heavy harrowing last couple of days, mostly canola stubble.
Got into some winter wheat stubble but had to quit, too much rutting.
Think canola took more moisture out later in year.
Going back to canola stubble unless rained out.

[Sheepwheat]

Snow about two thirds gone. Good runoff, peaked last night. Lambs popping, water running, temperature hit double digits, birdlife is incredible, might try combine in a few weeks, life is grand!

[farmaholic]

Farma you throw those mid row banders off yet ??

No, we added another rank of them in front of the others, now there's fertilizer between every row instead of every second row.

Can always makes things BETTER with a minor modification

[makar]

Still can't quad anywhere, and agro techs don't get inputs wont make a sk3 clone.

[SASKFARMER]

Rained out on some toda.

CANOLA WAS GOING GREAT.

How much loss do you figure those swathes had overwinter? I know we need to screen any spring thrash here for deer turds. Heck we end up with deer turds in straight cut canola though.

Good work on getting it beat👍

[SASKFARMER]

So far for our area, the Swath Canola vs the Standing has faired better. Now one farm near a Huge wildlife pasture/crowm land will get wildlife damage of some kind it looks like hail has hit it. All we have left is Liberty Pod shatter and it was all swath late last fall.
