    This is our combines, yesterday afternoon. I'd say it will be a few days before we are going.

      Sodbuster your wheat was standing to be able to swath it that nice.

      Lep you will need a few days wow that will take a while to melt.

      We still have snow on the north side of swaths yesterday.

          It’s put the sprayer and headers away. We’re done weed control for 2018. Little more than a skiff of snow.

          Looks like we had rain before they froze solid everything.

          Fat lady is taking a Halls.

          Can’t see with 4 and 5 maybe a week of warm to finish. We’ll need till Wednesday to start agai.
          F$&king weather.

                      Only thing that kept our fluffy canola swathes put was the 3/4” of rain before the blizzard (not sure to be thankful about that though?). Our snow totals since September 11 have been at least 18” (too depressing to keep track of really) and only 12% of our pathetic soggy and frozen crop in the bin. We’ve spent as much time harvesting and swathing as we should have to get the whole crop in this year. If this crop was a cow on our place the .243 would have put it out of it’s misery already.



                      This was supposed to be baled dry for the alfalfa plant and make some good money. That’s not going to happen so instead we’re fixing up five miles of fence to graze these fields instead.



                      The caragana and lilac were miserable on the high ground while the willows overtook the low ground on this half mile stretch. My Stihl and I persevered and reinforced my opinion that trees should not exist within a quarter mile of a fence.

                      Stopped early today for Dad’s birthday. Normally we wait till after harvest for this but he doesn’t want to wait till spring apparently 😉



                      I love the view from their place (minus the white stuff). You get views to the south and east of 60 miles and on really clear days you can see the mountains which would be about 200 miles west. We’re pretty “high” around here and it’s not even October 17 yet which ironically is my Dad’s actual birthday. 😎

Completely fenced and cross-fenced 6 quarters to secure extra grazing for our herd. Through bush and sloughs, ticks and heat and then snow and cold. The end is in sight though - I reckon a couple of hours left but it can wait for the warm up just around the corner!

                          Woodland and Grassy...if terrain allows wouldn't running a 15 foot mower around the perimeter of pastures(maybe two passes) along the fences to keep the brush back help? Fencing in trees and brush sucks.

                          Mother nature is very persistent. And she will win out in the end if you let your guard down. She has a way of reclaiming what she wants if your guard is lowered. We have hay sloughs here that have been clean cut for years, decades, that willows still try to re-establish themselves in.

                            Or do like most guys in our area hire a Cat or track hoe and clean along the fence then mow once a year. Even on rented. It has a cost.
