How a couple tents ended a good week of seeding!

Snow would protect the plants from frost.

so anywhere from 0.5" to 3.5" in last 3 days from Swift Current south to Val Marie. We are 75% done here but most are 40-50%.. South land received 1.4" at noon in 2 hrs . Thank god its seeded. Its hard to believe what others are going through in the east if its this wet here. No one has turned a wheel here in 3 days except those with rubber packer hawks and masters. :-)

I would bet the 5710 anchors are sitting in the yards?

Rained and spit and not a productive day. Oh yea we knocked down a power pole. YEA long weekend and all boy that should cost oh lets say a fortune. Then took the shifter control out on 9520 and a fan motor on Flexi Coil. Should have stayed at home today. But god are those Vodkas and Ginger-ale going down gooddddddddddddd.

Please explain the comment. Are they that junky of a seeder or too heavy as Bourgault seems to build things???

[fjlip]

Oh that sounds like a crappy day SKF3.
Drown sorrows, not with water.

Only 1mm of rain, but FROST here tonite!

More stress, I always said #1 it's TOO cold!
Furrow, we put 5.5" pneumatic packers on the 5710 "anchor" and are very pleased with the firm but NOT hard packing in these WET sticky soils. Pulls easier, huge difference. Highly recommend them.

I don't know some times I just want to say **** it and sell out to the parkland agventures for 1200 per acre and no more worries

[Hopperbin]

there is a new seeding planting corp out here that has 6 new tractors and drills and all the gear, and have women running them cause cannot find anyone else. Not that they are bad but they are paid 30 dollars per hour to drive and that is all that is expected. If something goes wrong or when loading then they have help for that.

Hopper them Foreigners running GagVentures are just as bad as The Hutts. Stick it to the SOB's, up their land rent, way it should be anyway. So tell us more about this seeding outfit. They doing Custom Work or Their own??? What kinda Tractors & Drills??? Name???

[fjlip]

Sounds like One Earth, have a base in Archerwill, seeding 3 reserves,Yellow Quill, Fishing Lake and Kamsack. 3 new Deere tractors and air drills, 3 Case IH outfits.
