The outside rounds done with a Horsch planter at 32,000 seeds per ac on 15 in spacing , the 6 different variety plots were done with the old JD 7000 8 row planter on 30 in rows at same 32,000 seed rate .
Will be interesting to see tonnage from each plot and differences in varieties.
The fert was spread with a floater , 110 N , 25 S and 15 K
Then worked in with a case Turbo till , then planted .
The Horsch is able to deliver an additional 4 gal / ac Alpine in the seed row with individual row shut off .
The varieties range from 2150 CHU to 1900
Will get tonnage and feed test results from each plot .

How’s that for a picture book

[furrowtickler]

My picture book is full of agronomy lessons for you ... real world in field results
Would make your head spin

[furrowtickler]

The sound of silence.... LOL

[furrowtickler]

Maybe bring up something meaningless to an ag marketing forum again .. that’s all you’ve done for 15 years

Looks like the "arm chair experts" on the electrical grids around the world and their various experiences with integrating renewable sources of electricity have either given up or decided to change the subject! LOL

A5 is back to his laughable opinion that "everywhere" renewables have been installed that the only reason electricity prices are higher is because of the renewables! Just how he knows this from the all hundreds of possible countries and electrical grids remains a mystery! LOL

The "everywhere man" is prone to sweeping generalizations and statements without providing any evidence, but this whopper is remarkable. Perhaps this explains why he is farming and not working as an engineer? Don't engineers have to actually verify and backup their plans with evidence? That certainly isn't A5's strength! Maybe he got his engineering "certificate" when he wrote into the address on the back pages of the Popular Mechanics?

Thanks to Tweety's post below A5 seems to have pulled in his horns and has returned to mudslinging!

" In April 2020, Bloomberg New Energy Finance found "Solar PV and onshore wind are now the cheapest sources of new-build generation for at least two-thirds of the global population. Those two-thirds live in locations that comprise 71% of gross domestic product and 85% of energy generation. Battery storage is now the cheapest new-build technology for peaking purposes (up to two-hours of discharge duration) in gas-importing regions, like Europe, China or Japan."

Those folks at Bloomberg are all Marxists, right! hahahaahah

So a battery storage for peaking purposes will last 2 hours. I believe Mallee pointed this out earlier. So please explain Chuck2 and Tweety how this will work in Alberta in the winter. As I pointed out last winter during a week long period of -30 the windmills were generating at less than 3% of there capacity. Solar in February in Alberta only produces for a few hours everyday so how does this battery that only lasts for 2 hours ever get charged during these proven periods of a cold still air mass. So of course you must then have some sort of dependable available generation like natural gas or coal. So the environmental phucknuts would have us believe the building solar backed up by wind backed up by battery storage backed up by natural gas(building 4 generation systems) to produce the same kilowatt of energy is better for the environment!!! Think of how much more land is wasted, how many more power lines are required. I’m not a denier, I am a believer in common phucking sense!!!!

BLOOMBERG? They print photos that are photoshopped and can't be verified or PEER REVIEWED!

CC you should upgrade from dial-up. You could check out this stuff for yourself....

[chuckChuck]

As I have said many times before we will need hydro, natural gas to backup for the forseeable future. Yes there are people who think we can go all renewables. We are not their yet. Storage will develop. Other renewable sources will develop. Hydrogen will also be developed. But many posters believe all renewables are crap, which is a load of crap! Bloomberg tells the story. Its not either or. Its all of the above.

But in your fake news article from Bloomberg, with all the photoshopped pictures of blades, they also falsely claim that the blades lasted for an entire decade before needing to be landfilled:

Warren Buffett’s utility has been replacing the original blades and turbines with larger, more powerful models after a decade of operation.

and

It’s going to get worse: Most were built more than a decade ago, when installations were less than a fifth of what they are now.

I think Chuck should stick with verified news sources such as Facebook or Twitter.

Of course, that in itself shouldn't be reason not to pursue alternative energy. Nuclear was issues with waste, oil and gas have components with short lifespans due to corrosion and wear. But the difference being that during their lifespan, they produced something useful, reliable and economical that powered modern civilization, all by themselves.
