It was! Have done so much dirt work wore out blade on sc****r! Time to park it for the year. This weather is awesome. But I would like some rain.

Get the cattles home😂

It’s been nice out west too. Been busy picking bales, cultivating, and sc****r work too. After the cold and snow two weeks ago I thought that was it for the year. Is this what a “normal” fall is like where you aren’t combining snowed on crop? Been toooooooo long to remember that here. 😉


My new sidekick likes going for rides too. The sunsets and sunrises have been very nice too on the days it’s not raining. Currently raining and the backroads are all mud. Poor truck is getting caked in it.

In some neighborhoods it is. Depends who owns it and what they're doing with it.

Looks like we are going to pay for it though. Pretty nasty blizzard coming through

Lots of fields with DEEP black grooves in them here. A perfect fall and soil conditions to "landscape". From a veteran s c r a p e r guy, Since 1978, dry works way better than MUD! And so would pull dozers.
Hope the neighbors are agreeable to the water coming, no other way to drain/landscape. Law suits and closing drainage not cheap. We have C&D adequate outlets and the only 2 permits in this RM.

Ground might be warm enough to melt some of it. Soak into some of those gaping cracks. Broadcast some P & K onto the Enbridge ROW, new construction and the old ROW too, harrowed it after....like concrete in some places.

Beautiful past four days, applying fertilizer and working on equipment. Makes up for the last two weeks of October.

Got a 2" dump of snow here last weekend and now we have Indian summer, I guess.

Had a beautiful sunny week with up to 17C. Finished the corn yesterday, my crops are all off now. May be record early.

The whole year was a complete opposite of the past couple - no disease issues like 2 years ago and good finishes for all the crops. Last year everything was late and wet.

Corn and bean crops were phenomenal overall, in this part of the province. lots of 60 bushel beans and corn yields were commonly 220 bu and came off at 20 - 22% moisture.

Ours was just under the 200 - a huge record for us - likely lower than average for the area because the manure we applied was over-rated for available nutrients. A distinct rise on the yield monitor when we hit the full fertilizer application rate. An expensive lesson - tests pay dividends.

But the best news of all - last night our oldest son and his wife welcomed their first child into their home - a sixth grandchild for us. Our only granddaughter - THE Princess - should be well cared for by her brothers and cousins!

A great way to cap off a good season.

If that was for me, no.

Frustrating, I'm 55 and.....

Congrats Burnt!
No better way to cap off a successful harvest than an expansion in the “herd”😉
