Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[furrowtickler]

Speaking of conspiracy theories... I had a fella tell me the other day that windshield wipers were for wiping rain off the window. Its patently false, all I've ever used them for is clearing the caked on dust away!

Good lord, people will believe anything these days.

2nd thought, does anyone know how deep you can set your drill before you have to mark pipelines and buried cables with "Alberta 1 Call"?

Have I mentioned its dry? I quit last night because I couldn't physically see the fencelines and sloughs that I had to turn around at.

Ya was getting bad here , dust so bad could not see at times

Pains me that u guys suffer with those conditions when we could easily give u guys all our full potholes and running creeks which we need like a hole in the head.

Yeah a balance would be awesome for everyone.

No end of respect from here for what you guys are going through as well.

If mother nature would just throw one over the plate at least we could take our best swing. But here we are with 2 inside balls that the ump has called strikes, and the third ones coming down the pipe soon... the pitcher has a shit eating grin, and were wondering whether to choke up, swing for the fence, or just throw the bat and walk to the dugout in disgust!

Speaking of conspiracy theories, and dust. Have you heard the Whopper about the problems dust causes behind the wheels of a sprayer? I find the foot deep rocks and the mud and water splashing everywhere is the problem, not dust. I get very poor weed control in the ruts.

And speaking of ground disturbance. I had a guy disking with the Wishek close to a small gas plant the other day. The over enthusiastic operator came out and gave him heck for ground disturbance and claimed that he was going too deep and would hit a pipeline. The funniest part is that the operator of the tractor could probably write the book on ground disturbance with his career in supervising pipelines.

Some people are dumb as nails. Remember one time dad was brushing and a cousin who took care of pipelines for the oil company told him to be careful cause the condensate line wasn’t too deep. Years later they were putting in a lease road and caught it with a ripper. What gong show that was. Operator bermed the leak thinking it was a saltwater line. Shut a battery down cause they had no condensate. Fun times.

Did spray a half section at end of the day after last nights 1/4 to 1/2 inch again.

We’re wet and more on way again tonight.
