Well its Easter weekend coming up and guess what probably a winter storm. This is a earlier version as I am on the road to Lloyd today to take some equipment to its new owner. Ok were meeting half way. Still its a Albertan who needs it. Funny he mentioned the other day he still has 2000 acres of HRS out and 1000 acres of Canola and oh boy is it wet.
Our local guy finished the field I showed you last week, he still has quite a few left gets about a 100 acres off a day with one machine. Swather infront of combine and Big tractor for backup when stuck.
Its grading a three and 13.6 moisture. Lost due to shelling he feels about 35% but at least he didn't have to dry it.
Some companies are offering a spring harvest special they take a dollar off street price and then charge for drying.
Kind of like hitting a guy with a baseball bat just as he is trying to get up. My advise haul in last falls harvested if the spring doesn't look bad. The F$%Kers will take it in June because most bins are empty. Or just about after the last bounce.
Oats is another question probably its Pouched.
For us were almost all done cleaning the batch of Brandon wheat. All we have left to clean is Durum and then its get equipment ready. One drill is ready second needs some spring work. Hoses and a new blockage monitor plus the Anhydrous will be with the new pump system.
Roads are soft and Still no grader to be seen. Seems some of these Rms should let roads go back to the way they use to be a farmer looked after his own roads. Only grader we seen since October was back in Winter once to shave the ditches with snow.
Main grid did get graded but the new guy is from the bottom of the Grader pool again.
Oil patch is starting to pick up as a few guys who were going to work for local guys got called back.
Land sales are inching up again as investors and Alberta Transplants and Ontario transplants come to Sask. Funny last week a guy from BC that was going to show every one East of us how to farm had his Richie brothers sale the other day. 4 years and he was done. Getting it rented now to a local guy for normal rent. Ah maybe were getting back to normal. Big land deal with Ontario teachers pension fund might not be as costly as first renter paid.
So have a Happy Easter and Enjoy time with family and friends.
Christ has risen. Ok I sound like Tom where are you.
