We have a real issue with drought. You know it is bad when 50 year old spruce start dying.

I noticed a few bluffs that died off here in august just before the rain we did manage to get here
But now back in very dry conditions again

We kept our first case for the same reason
A 1992 9270 , got over 11,000 hrs on er now and still runs very well . Those older deers and cases are irreplaceable now

The new tractors longevity will depend on the quality of the plastic around the small diameter wires in their electronics, time and replacement cost is the enemy of plastic.
It different with highway trucks, salt and miles put them out of their misery earlier than farm tractors.

Sad to hear, hopefully it's not part of the shelterbelt.

Like Galaxie, I’m also extremely blessed to have had forefathers that worked very hard, were fiscally responsible, and left a legacy of well cared for land.

Thats interesting. Today in our public school system my kids are being taught they are violent colonizers and oppressors and supported genocide and that our religion is inherently evil.

A friend near Riceton is hauling water from the municipal well for his evergreens. We need a week-long soaker.

Start the combines I found another couple thousand acres to harvest.

Were moving north.

Ok, we always go north it's ready so harvest 2021 continues.

I love combining so let's roll.

We have planted hundreds over 70 years all seem to be affected. Need 6 in rain.

Furrow your meme describes out here good. Just out cutting the last couple quarters of late emerged canola and should finish up today. The fall colours are everywhere ………… even flowering canola.

Never double swathed canola before……. there’s no shortage of firsts for this year. Having to scalp the ground to get our short barley with the flex header on a quarter we cleared and end up dumping the rock/stick trap every hopper.

Never had blue wood smoke belch out of the feederhouse when a stump gets chewed on by the cylinder but it’s now a regular occurrence. The cows even get toothpicks with their barley this winter. 😉

On a positive note the baling is all done and it’s the least amount to pick in over 30 years for us. Still lots of acres to cover in the neighbourhood so hopefully the weather holds.

Congrats to everyone that’s done. Bringing up the rear here just like herding cows🍀
