Bearing from Regina supplier is 70 plus race at 50 120 total.

Bearing at local Deere dealer is 280.

so now farmers have to become dealers and have a parts supply on hand. We now stock 4 of the above bearings.

Gouging is happening and it's all legal.

It's a joke.

Wait shortage of Round up coming again for fall.

Ah most didn't use as much as normal this spring I have enough bought for spring-summer and now next spring because I didn't use as much.

Some shortage.

We have everything seeded except a small field we calve our cows in.

Wheat is up, peas are up and canola is just poking through. Barley a day or two away. First canola was seeded May 12 so appears to have missed the frost, just watching for flea Beatles now on the canola.

Certainly looks like some herbicides will be in short supply, blame is being placed on shortage of plastic for containers, I call BS.

Dealer price gouge of the day for me. There are 3 viton o’rings on a aim command solenoid on my sprayer. From dealer over $10 for the 3 o’rings. From my local bearing supplier, same viton o’rings $1.55!!

Last push to finish canola here before yet more rain tomorrow. Have the mud holes to do after 2.5 inches of rain in the past 10 days. Did some oats on field that got less rain this past Monday yesterday. Seeded most of it. First canola seeded May 10 is up and looking good. Did not lose much from frost. Area is about 85% done but not much progress since the 17 th when 2 in rain showed up. Saw a quad track and large seedmaster planted in a mud hole last night. What is the yield potential of that? New guy picked up some land and is getting a lesson on farming the anus of creation.

Hopefully things turn around AJL
Things not good in other areas as well ...

Sorry to offend anyone who sells rope.

A friend manages the local industrial supply store.
He describes his job as selling rope, soap, and dope.
In recent years, he clarifies as pipe dope to differentiate from all the other storess now selling dope.

Cool day today plants yellow from hot cold wet dry wind etc.

Good day to start seeding again. Wet spots.

Is your 7550 an improvement over 6550?

[SASKFARMER]

Drill one has the 7550 and it has a few features we like.

Should finish seeding early tomorrow.

No reseeding yet here.

Warming up next week

What are the pros and cons, tracks vs tires, single track vs quad, smoothness of ride,
and the difference in slippage on your soil.

The T we like for the grain cart and the big wide spacing four-wheel drive we like on the drill. When the T is done and paid for we are getting a 4 track to add to this drill.

I like the T on the Grain cart easy to get into and easy to run beside combines and easy to see out of.

They give you nothing for trades so cash out a Tractor and keep what you have seems to work. you always need tractors.

[SASKFARMER]

Driving a two-track is different than a tractor or 4 track. Straight away no problem pulls through most things. Turning is an issue. But with tow between carts, you are further ahead of the mud and can usually get around anything your seeding. No they arent as smooth because when you drive over a rock you shit your pants vs a wheeled. But you can mark on your GPS and go dig it in the fall.

prefect here, not a good thing, need to suffer somewhere .
