Don't recall ever seeing the volume of equipment on dealers lots at this time of year.
If one dealer has 30-40 or 50 combines and the dealer down the road has the same?
Most dealers seem to be using off site lots to park them all.
Saw 13 new large JD track tractors on the front row at one dealer.

Not sure RB can get them out this time?
Supposed to take 2 buyers for every one to make an auction.
Can't keep them all.

Hopefully used numbers reduce and first buyers EAT more depreciation...this is ridiculous!

Looks like we are weathered in for the year, some ugly canola left out including me, but 40 acres of 10 bushel I won't lose any sleep over it

We finished on Saturday.
And I wasn't quite the last one in Alberta, since we helped a neighbor finish yesterday.
So far the rain and snow event has been a non event. So we didn't have to slog through the tough, green, flowering canola, could have waited a few more days and let it freeze dry more.

2nd year in a row with no hail. Nothing fell from the sky during hail season, so it stands to reason.

4 year in a row of having adequate heat units to mature most crops in decent time.

This may have been the only year in recent memory where the crops didn't see snow in either spring or fall.

Rarely got stuck this spring, never got stuck this fall.

Nearly all grain taken off dry. Only dried one batch of wheat, and will probably dry the last quarter of canola.

Nearly all crops mostly standing. We have had years where every acre is flat on the ground.

Makes this farming thing sound easy.

8oo acres of green canola left it plugs all the seives no killing frost yet low yielding.
