Those lentils do look thick,interesting to see how they turn out.On a side note we had a july contract for wheat that they called for last week as they didnt have enough to fill a train. Then yesterday Viterra called looking for wheat said they were desperate.I told them i wasnt home, they said give a land location and they would arrange it picked up.I dont think there is as much grain left on farm some think there may be .

We finished seeding Thursday afternoon. Glad to be done. The 2 biggest hold ups this year were the frequent small showers and issues with my Versatile 450 4wd. We got delayed at the start when we replaced a wiring harness from the ECM on the motor to the back of the cab. It had failed last year and we had patched it up. It took almost a year to get a new one. Anyway, installed and the tractor wouldn’t move. Turned out we needed a new shift lever as well. Weird though because we drove the tractor to the mechanic to get him to install the wiring harness. Then with 75 acres left we lost hydraulics. The main pump had spun it’s drive shaft inside the gear from the transmission. Versatile has an update for this. New pump comes with a bigger input shaft and a replacement drive gear from the transmission. Amazingly my dealer had the pump. We were only down for a little over a day. It took the mechanic and my son about 7-8 hours to fix.
