Almost done cleaning wheat then barley for this year if it gets late or 2023.

Last night was the first night in a long time it never froze, oh it's almost May 1st.

Was nice to see our main Burrow pit fill to the brim and actually use the spillway like it was designed for. This is the first time since we added onto it that it filled over without pumping any water at all.

I do like Drews's forecast for our area Wet in June moves from Manitoba to our area. Could be very interesting if too much water comes but that's normal.

Heading out have seed deliveries today and then the Chemical starts arriving next week along with oil and DEF.

Spring is in the air.

We got to plus ten here. First double digit temp of the year on April 28th! Lambing going hard and fun.

How did you get the lottery#'s? Gee we must be in purgatory.

Prairie North Coop Archerwill delivered ALL our seed/chem yesterday. Fuel filled, just waiting for drying up.

Busy playing with calves here. Looks like spring weather may be returning next week after winter took back most of April here.


Burned up more straw the last three weeks than all winter but the newborns are handling it better than I expected. Got a few scours showing up now but that’s normal for us.

Had to buy an old pull type sprayer as backup for our nice spray coupe that agco doesn’t really support anymore. I guess 14 years old is too old. Perkins only has timing gears in England and a rush order means they “might” get here in two weeks instead of two months. They failed (along with the injection pump) at 1700 hrs and apparently it’s very common. Ready to dump it and go green since I have better luck getting parts for my 3020. I long for the good ole days of overnight parts and dealers with inventory………… Any suggestions for a good green sprayer for under $100k??

Trying to get some of our shrapnel ready for playing in the dirt but the cows seem to be hogging all the time here. Maybe next week 🍀

Decided to sell our yearling steers last week instead of grassing them. Just found out we’re losing a bunch of rental ground this fall and with how dry it is we needed to shake things up. That is the most enjoyable part of having cows is watching them graze and just keeping the fences up and water flowing. I guess someone else gets that pleasure this summer. We’ve learned after the last couple droughts fighting Ma Nature is far too stressful. Much easier to press the “easy” button and sometimes even more profitable.

Fun times in the neighbourhood waiting on spring 🍀

We are getting close to being ready. Maybe have everything hooked up and tested by Tuesday. Most rigs will be rolling here next week. NE Edmonton. I don't know about anybody else but I've sure spent a pile of loot the last six months. I was a little taken aback by the decline in the markets today (except diesel) but am comforted by the knowledge that has been shared here that grain/oilseeds have only one way to go -UP!! Have a great weekend. Chill abit, it's about to get hectic.

15” of extremely wet heavy snow here, game changer. Ground was extremely dry and thawed out prior, should just slurp it up. Forecast for 16-18C next week.
Maybe two weeks ready to go if dry enough.
