How many dollars per day ?

Quite a few years ago, my Dad was seeding on a mile stretch, and he said "We are spending 58.00 per minute out here!" 54 ft drill at 5 mph. Yesterday we were spending 118.88 per minute with a 76' drill at 4 mph.

Very sobering numbers that those who don’t farm can’t comprehend

Then watch it freeze off and have to redo into dry soil , zero fun .
catch 22 , NW and NE Sask were dry to start , so does one giver while still decent soil moisture or hold off ??
nothing ever easy in farmin , ever
with absolute zero guarantee of rain, decisions that would melt the average persons brain
never a right or wrong decision with the dollars involved

Has been cool and windy here. Top inches very dry, dusting all day behind the drill. We are well ahead of last year as far a seeding goes and got a reasonable outcome in 2024. This is different. Drought stress and cold isn't helping the chemical work either.
