    No knee pads or grease needed on the SeedHawk, he doesn't need 6 tubes of grease and half a day to grease his drill like the Bourgaults.

      Bins will be rattling around here after this harvest. Hot and dry makes me cry! No joy in seeing crops suffering all friggin year. Even year crappy, just enough to let crop insurance off the hook - maybe.

        Could be another year of feed shortages especially hay in the south. Even the nw here hay crops no screaming hell but every chunk of grass getting knocked down. Every antique pos running down ditches making hq hay. Too cold in spring and old stands don’t make big yields. Grain guys here are seeding greenfeed and doing well.

          Not to make light of anyone going through drought (been there before), and we definitely will be loosing yield as well, but in our area in SW Sask, the heat is somewhat welcome. The durum is finally being pushed into doing something after nearly sitting still for the first 2 weeks in July. After the past 2 late harvests and having snow on crops, I wasn't looking forward to the strong possibility of another late harvest.

            Only place crap insurance will payout is if the entire farm had real bad hail and you're below your coverage.

            It's a win-win for insurance companies.

              Horse hockey, if you below average for whatever reason you collect, you expect cheques on good crop?

                    Crap Insurance pays out every single year in the swamp. No hail needed.

                      Bring on the heat baby🌞👍

                      I’ll take all the heat I can. Humidity, rain, fog, clouds, and calm days can disappear for ten days and I’ll be happy. Been cutting hay like crazy and we got 60 hours without rain and it was fantastic. Finally able to load out grain since the yard is dry-ish and I don’t mind cleaning the flat bottoms out I just wish it wasn’t in the afternoon when the bin runs out😉

                      Currently sprinkling.......... again but looks like a couple kinda decent days are coming. Gotta stop every hour or two to clean the discbine rad screen since it plugs with mosquitoes. Mowing down more frogs than mice which is different.

                      Amazing how different things are across the prairie. I’ve got knee high corn, canola that’s going to be dukeing it out with Jack Frost, and hayfields begging me to shave them. Another fun year for sure.
