suns out

A few years ago we had the same situation
Rains started , would dry up finally then rain again
Did that for nearly 3 weeks

That is literally almost every year I have farmed for 29 years. Gets old. There is a reason John Deere used to send their prototypes out here to see how they perform in tough conditions! One year it was nice and dry conditions. I think 2003. Excellent crop, excellent quality that year.

Ha. It’s why we got into animal agriculture. The fight got too be too much. Couldn’t ever quite afford a dryer, and so in an area where almost all grain has to be dried it was tough, pun intended!

I don’t mean to complain at all. I just find it fascinating that this kind of harvest weather is an anomaly. This year in this area is probably what a great year in kindersley, swift current, even Saskatoon looks like. Until now of course.

Suns out here again this morning.
Not much cereals left in the field here but the better canola is probably a week or more away.
Some of the drought canola that has been swathed is closer.

Blew a separator drive belt. Only 4 in stock in Canada. Have one coming in via Purolator from two provinces away. Crazy.

Big hail storm this morning in Assiniboia, lots of dented up vehicles.

Do you care to share what color combine that is? Just wondering if the rest of us should be stocking up

88 and 66 series Case (different belts by 10” or so), check condition if needed.

Cloud of smoke blowing past the cab in a combine sure gets the heart beating. Last year was a failed diesel injection line spraying diesel on the exhaust.
