The "D" word...

Yeah radar is utterly stupid. Looks like it could be a fair bit. Be nice if it didn’t matter, but this is getting old. Is your dryer bored these days?

Sorry parked in shed for the yr.

Dry here as well. Most low spots are also dry. We had enough moisture for this crop and drought did not affect us at all this year. Will need rain more often next summer if we hope to grow a decent crop.
That’s the way this area is. A stretch of super wet years and then it swings and a couple dry years. Never seems to be just right!

2020 has been a Challenge Royale in the drought zone. Like Grant said, “Never say Wo in a muck hole.”
Just bone-chilling wind today.

BTOs will use the latest funding from government to build or buy trailers for their TFW to live in....

More government policy to promote the larger farmer....FFS i cant buy N95 masks that I like to use for getting in a grain bin....the good kind with the breather in the front...sent my wife everywhere in the city the other day...she brings home a shitty fitting respirator...

Bucket spend the money and get a full face cover respirator, sized proper for you. I've had one for 5yrs or so now and there is no going back to disposable masks. Keeps your eyes from getting full of dust too. It's amazing how much less tired you feel after shoveling grain. Can get different levels of filters for doing different things also. Straight dust cartridges are reasonable and last me a long time.

Hopper bins. My back reminds me how stupid I was when I was young. Worked hard emptying old wooden bins. Digging grain out of corners. Lots of shovelling in large diameter flat bottoms too. Bin sweeps should be sold with respirators. Grain Vac hoses are heavy too but at least your not stooped and twisting like shovelling.....and no dust.

.....hopper bottoms. Or grain bags?

Isn't harvest the best time to have a drought?

Correct the good old days of shoveling.
Many new giant flat bottoms going up.
Must be young fellows or employees ..
As we are older hopper bins..
Rather move the swing auger than own a shovel.
