So did you buy yours?

No one says you have to spend. Remember separate your needs from your wants. Just because the neighbour bought ....

Someone needs to buy new if the rest of us want to buy used stuff

Booked Fertilizers and Chemicals in August, always been the same, best buy is when demand is low. N & S are in the DRY soil, Phos is home, frozen in bin. Looks like the Fertilizer/Chem/Seed price increases since then more than make up for diff in earlier canola pricing....as wife says it's all about averages. Needs, insignificant, wants...as can be afforded. Have to enjoy SOMETHING you don't need! Like an older fellow once said, "I didn't see a new tractor in the swaths". Unfortunately iron wears out and is advancing technologically, very desirable, it's like a DRUG, we NEED it.

Red guys have 1 quad trax coming in mid May. Only 1 not sold.
Farmers gone wild..
Pattison Ag Humboldt. Sold 23 new combines..record for them.
Darn 14 buck canola..everyone wants it..

Pattison here has that amount sold and then some. Threw big money at their current customers for once.

Yellow dealership has 25 sold. Imagine they have some big discounts too, cause if the X9 pans out, alot will be back green.

The only combine to buy, imagine its been sold out for months anyways. All $16 canola woulda done is made them buy 2....

In the end the dealers will sit on overpriced used stock. Farmer Joe will buy at ritchies this fall for $80k less....

These were the prices this fall eastern Manitoba delivered.
11-52-0 : $609 per tonne
0-0-60 : $462 per tonne

New Spring delivered and paid before the New Year prices.
46-0-0 : $467 per tonne




This is what we settled on. I've always said it's better to be lucky then smart!

Fert is in the bins here. Seed and chem is booked and paid for. Iron ............. we’ll bubble gum everything for another year. Although a bigger used disk would be nice for the corn ground............. if a deal comes along😉

Just need some replacement bulls and fuel for this year.

No different than most other years. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it🍀

Or in my case it aint really broke so we will keep doing repairs until it needs fixing...
