Makin’ it black

[burnt]

What kind of paperwork do you need out therefore ? Here I am lucky that I didn’t need anything. Didn’t even get a permit for the Natural Gas or electrical since it’s a genset. I guess living in the bush past Timbuktu has its perks sometimes.

Found out that the building permit application process calls for a stamped drawing for the bin base. Complete and utter embezzlement and larceny. Identical bins and soil conditions on either side of my farm but can't use a standard drawing.

The engineer doesn't even need to see the site, but the drawing must be site specific. So he pulls up a generic bin pad drawing on his computer, types my farm location and name onto it, hits 'PRINT' and sends it to me for a mere $450.

And if I were to be building 2 identical bins side by side, the process calls for 2 individually stamped drawings.

So what's it really about?

Combining alfalfa seed. Always happens after everything else is done.
Really like it black but the ground is so hard and dry it would work up in big chunks and be really hard on equipment. If it stays dry until freeze up, moisture might be in short supply next spring so might be better with the ground covered.

Picking rocks now, snow coming Thurs and -12C by the weekend.
Fall has been good though.

Some guys in the area with the vertical tillage tools parked them this fall, some valuable lessons learned over the last three years.....there's a time and place for them, here and now is not the time and place.

Some guys opted to mow any low spots that weren't seeded and went to weeds.

I guess wide scale soil drifting, drying out and loosening the seed bed and germinating every wild oat(and every other weed in the book) where that tillage tool was passed over isn't so romantic some years.

Yup, time and a place. Not here not now.

Was not fun in the wind today here either
