Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Hammer and a vice grip should get that new Henry down to five rounds in no time. What caliber is it?

[shtferbrains]

What about old 1894's with the fueding tube?

Load it on Sunday and shoot all week.

All you guys posting pictures of pretty square flat fields now know where the hills ended up out west😉

I second that. But I think I'd still rather have hills than swamps with occasional areas high enough to farm. At least the hills drain.

I'm still trying to figure out where the big square fields are. I've travelled a lot of the prairies, and look all over on google earth, and it seems to me that the big square uninterupted fields are very few and far between.

My goal is big fields, but square will never happen, diamonds and triangles at best, the glaciers left all the swamps running at an angle to the tidy square property lines and roads around here. And the few quarters that could be complete all have nasty well sites or acreages out of them.

They’re all square here

357 or 38 special.

I was thinking of getting one those till ammo went retarded. My dream is to get a Henry lone ranger in .223. When I get time the new toy is a late uncles 1940 win 94 in .32 special.

Thats why I taught my boys to understand miles. They know we are surveyed in miles, farm directions in kliks are meaningless.

Joys of having thieves constantly in the neighbourhood……….

Nothing like getting a call first thing in the morning that a 100 pairs are out roaming in the coal mine beside the open pits and power plant. Turns out thieves cut two exterior fences and gates in this field to get to some transformers. They’re taken and damaged $100’s of thousands dollars the last few weeks apparently. Found a truck stuck in the bottom of a pit with a guy passed out on cocaine with guns and ammo even.

My cousin had them strip all the wiring out of a pump house which is quite common but now they cut the plastic hose a bunch of times just to be ignorant. All we can hope for is they drive off the high wall in the dark to the water filled pits below to help solve the problem.


Really have had enough of the catch and release justice system. Maybe these judges that keep cutting these habitual repeat criminals loose should be required to have them live in their basement for a few months?

***End rant***


Did some catch and release of our own with grandpa and the kids yesterday. Sure has been too long since we did that.

Hopefully everyone had great Father’s Day 🍀

Very good to see you take time off , kids love that and will never forget 👍

We managed to giver on Liberty till 1:30 then take time to go see father in law at LTC then got back on sprayer and finished by 6 pm . Nice to be done weed control for now . Raining light here since 5:30 am . Huge weight off shoulders
Best of luck to all still given er . Spraying season can be stressful with weather no doubt

[furrowtickler]

And ya , thieves have been out bad here as well this past month. Seems non stop at times
Terrible to have to deal with this crap , but too many idle hands living off free money …. Sickening how they have to steal and vandalism from those who work hard to make a living
Added stress in life not deserved

Thieves are like having wolves picking you over.
Best you can hope is they move on and find easier pickings

A recent concerning trend locally has been gangbangers shooting at the local RCMP when they approach the meth houses out on the rez. This has happened on some of the best run IR's in this area.

If that is at all a trend it will make police work a whole new level of dangerous and will likely make any contact with those gangs extremely dangerous for us all.

Or at least till the new gun registration comes into effect and they turn in their guns.****
