SF sorry to hear about your dad. Sounds like he had a good life and enjoyed what he did. Can’t ask for more than that.


Just pulled the bulls from the “hopefully” bred heifers yesterday and moved them to the last piece of grass for them. My boy is trying to ignore the fact school is a week away kinda like starting feeding is only a couple weeks away for me. Neither is looking forward to the inevitable……..

Started desiccating peas and the hail and resulting disease sure did a number on them. Going to start swathing barley today that also got hail two weeks ago. We’ve had more hail damage in the last two years than any other so next year I think we’ll have to add it to the insurance. Very disappointing to see more damage so close to harvest but on the bright side the trucker (me) will have an easier job😉


Went to the Ukrainian Village by Vegreville with some friends and the kids got to see some history in action. They enjoyed the blacksmith who pounded out some mini horseshoes for them since it was a drizzling day and we mostly had the place to ourselves. Interesting to see the 100 year old elevator and how little things have changed since then.

The steers are doing better than ever. Definitely the best performing crop this year. The grass that is there sure has some power this year. Dealing with a bit of pneumonia but the vet is saying everyone seems to have a bunch of odd things happening lately.



Every corn field around here seems to be great. Definitely impresses me more all the time. Hopefully Jack Frost stays away to let it fill the cobs nicely.

Good luck everyone. Just the odd field off in the neighbourhood so far. Forecast looks decent so it’s go time🍀

Weather forecasts this week:









Our hailed canola in Killam looks like it will be ready to swath by the end of the week with all the warm weather… perhaps Wednesday starting on Pea desiccation… hail cut our crops height by half… will be a challenging harvest… the wheat needs 3 weeks to fill and ripen…. At least 3 weeks lost to the hail storm…

Blessings , Safety, and Wisdom

Wow, those numbers are out to lunch. Canola and spring wheat will be at least 30% than last year, where would they ever find those numbers. Canola down 6%, crazy.

Did they adjust acreage up on canola? They had acreage up 4% in earlier reports which is way way too low. Acreage up 15% at the least. Maybe thats were some of the adjustment comes from.

StatCan numbers are generally wrong on this report and satellite image stuff doesnt seem to work that well yet.

All this talk about hot weather and wind?
Sure not like that here. Smoke and humidity is just unreal!
In the mornings I am not sure if it’s fog or smoke but likely both and everything is dripping wet. Wheat was testing 18 yesterday afternoon and it’s likely 19 this morning.

Finished up last night, minus 5 ac of low spots. Not as bad as 2021, but well below average. Now we need significant recharge to think about 2024. And something to do all winter, as there aren't many bushels to custom grain haul.

Testing 13 in the low spots today au naturelle. Heres a window shot.

Wheat and peas are both in the 10s here today. And 34 degrees.

Agree same here 6 hour days...like where is this humidity from? DRY DRY all summer? And freaking CALM all summer, now every evening!

Side note finished BARLEY...all DRY, yield about 90, 36% low chit malt , the rest chitted from 8/10" of wonderful 6 week late RAIN.

What is the difference between Malt and feed Price? I hear feed wheat is high is barley too? And not have to sit on malt and risk it not being accepted later.
