    I know I take things very serious.
    Farming is one. In a great crop you
    count the bags on the ground. Because
    after the Bins are full its your profit.
    In a shitty year you count the bags in
    the shed.
    Farmaholic I like that term. Even if we
    fall off the wagon we will still be back
    next year.
    At least I dont have to attend meetings
    and go My name is Saskfarmer and I am a
    Farmaholic.
    Their is always that one day in every
    farmer when you see the writing on the
    wall, and its not in your favor. That
    day was yesterday so maybe a farmaholic
    is like a drunk or druggie, you know
    when you hit bottom.
    In Canada you have one chance at a crop
    then their is Winter. So like the saying
    goes theirs always next year.
    Safe harvest to all! lets get ur Done!

        SF3; You say your durum is a 3 and wheat is a 2. What is down grading it in your area?

          In both the Durum and HRS its little tinny
          pieces of ergot. Not your big elephant ear
          type but little wheat size ergot.
          Also fusarium. Thats the kicker so far.
          Will fill my contracts and then see.
          All were sprayed with prosario and tilt.
          But with all the rain over the summer were
          lucky to get anything.

            Thanks SF3;
            I was just wondering, haven't seen much ergot or fus in our area, but not much cut yet either. Will get a better handle on it in a while.

            If spreads are big enough could be some blending opportunity before or at delivery. Lots of money could be made on blending and cleaning for grade improvement.

              I think the gravity deck might take it out this year.
              Good winter project since won't have much for my
              truckers to do. Also another winter project is
              getting my old tandem running. My boys could
              learn something. It's a gas but for the cleaning
              plant it worked fine. Hm see you can find projects
              if you look.

                There are always projects one can do in their spare time. Reading, spelling, grammar.

                      ALBERTAFARMER4: I still OWN a farm and I still LIVE on a farm. My forebears for generations have been farmers. Government policy such as that put forth by Harper and Ritz interest me as they have a direct effect on the profitability and viability of farming.
                      If you have an opinion express it and I bloody well will express mine. It that clear enough?
