Bare seed is in ur bin. Need I say more?

yes but I still want the best genetics...lol.....the seed treatment seems to be worthless when everyone sprays after the fact....and slows the germination and pop up ...

We have been trying to seed canola into wheat stubble for the extra winter moisture and some protection against winds and beatles.

Now my dad tells me the tiny rains cant get through the straw and we should start seeding on last yrs lentil fields which were dry as a bone in the top inch.

F who knows anymore.

We were a little short of both drill power and money this Spring, and as much as I hated to we bought a cheap borgault cultivator and a 6450 tank. I had drank the PHD koolaid long ago and was sure we wouldn’t have as nice of crops on the fields we seeded with the cultivator. Well here we are in late June our crops are in general nice (we are Yorkton area) and I can’t tell the difference between which drill seeded which field. Years of flooding, ruts, difficult trash management, flea beetle pressure because seed treatments don’t work, and it turns out that having a half inch of variance in your seeding depth isn’t the factor that is yield limiting. Especially when eliminating that little variance is a half million (or more).

The math on 500k plus seeding rig plus the tractor.....more must be doing the math...

Father in law seeded for alot of years with a 8810 and mounted poly packers. That damned thing always seemed to work.

We run an 8910 for all our cereals and canola or peas if we have too .
Just set up with on row Valley packers.
Always works just fine for us .
Not the greatest for canola but it works when needed .
Bought a used 5350 and LFC 3000 at the same time . Has worked very well from day one .



Best thing is ... zero payments .
Like many of us older guys here , may be past our prime but still work day in and day out when needed and are not worth much lol .
