They have everything higher than before but didn't take into account the lateness of the crop or how wet it is.

Another useless report.

30 cent offer for Canaryseed yesterday. Maybe some one is a little short on a pre-sale, who knows?

Thank god for NG, and Grant Devine...1985 we got the prize, $4500 for 4,500,000 btu. Saved THOUSANDS since then, actually PAID for the install the next year, 1986 late harvest from HELL also. No combining before Sept, dried every bushel including all canola!
Lots are sorry that it was still too expensive. Couple of dead yards around here have gas...for nobody.
Another 1/4" today...200% humidity, was 15% in June.

Its getting serious. 3.6 inches in the last 5 days and its still sprinkling this morning. The only bright spot in this harvest season is that trudeau is going down the drain.

Huge issue on this farm Fj.
Previous management didn't take it.
Now if we want it we are at the end of the line, limited capacity, or extra costs to loop in a reservoir.
I live close to a high pressure supply line for two neighbouring communities, the riser with shut off valves actually come up out of the ground on our land, I suggested tapping into it with a regulator....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
Seems they don't want customers or make getting the service almost cost prohibitive.

How the **** am I supposed to estimate the "connected load"? How much grain will we dry any given year?
How much will a shop take at any given size? How many Nat gas appliances will we end up with?
How do I know? ...the max "I guess"?

The rural gas program should still be in effect...We should be able to hook on at a reasonable cost...

I have gas but I know of lots that 30 years ago were not here and didn't have a say to put it in...

I realize the cost but a safe supply of gas to a farm yard is important in the cold winters...and its environmentally friendly ...better than flaring it off...

All is good

Off to town!
