    I don’t know of anyone that offers fuel prebuy as it is so volatile.
    On the current $8.99/L glyphosate delivered to farm offer - there must still be room to move if they can ship it to you on that price. They won’t ship a single tote but if they can assemble a truckload to your area then it is possible. No reason your local retailer (who must buy truckloads for inventory) can’t be selling for less.

      Interesting times!
      Ruzzia had been supplying a significant portion of Eastern Canada diesel, JP for aviation,and premium gasoline.

      Wondering how that is being handled as assume it probably involved some non taxable income to make it attractive to all involved.

              El Nino here means tough weather but great crops.

                Gosh last year yields were okay and harvest early at expense of subsoil moisture. No we’re possibly going back to tough harvests.

                  Cereals are all sold and delivered. Last of the fertilizer got delivered. Always nice having it here when the nearest blender is 50 km away with a lineup at go time. Canola is sitting in the bin and not sure what to do with it?

                  Nice to get some new pasture opened up. Thinking of trenching in water line too since there’s no frost in the ground and only a crummy dugout on this quarter. Got one price back on pipe and it was about the same as stuff we bought four years ago which is almost as surprising that it’s actually available.


                  Doing undercarriage work on the challenger and finding that the drive wheels are on back order without an ETA is quite disappointing. Going to have to do some more digging to find another option possibly. Kinda frustrating.

                  The oldest son has a school project where they have to build a bridge out of cardboard and popsicle sticks. He found a cardboard tube out of a net wrap roll and cut two pieces for beams. Going to wrap it in tape and glue popsicle sticks to make a deck on it. It should easily hold the 6 kg test weight that’s placed between a 30 cm gap. He schemed it all on his own.

                  Washing machine cratered last week after only 3 years just like the last few. Talked to a friend who owns a laundromat and bought a commercial machine today that will hopefully stand up better. Was only going to buy a rebuilt one but the Mrs liked the shiny new one besides it so she got an early birthday present. She’s happy, I’m happy, hopefully it survives for 8-10 years with the crud it will eat out here.

                  Beautiful weather has returned.
                  Fun times 🍀

                    Commercial grade only way to go.
                    Any cheaper can't even seem to do bedding without balance issues. Wife will love it.
                    Curious, AGCO or CAT for those parts?

                      That a speed queen? I've heard great things about them, in particular the old style top-load.

                        Cat doesn’t carry them anymore and Agco after four days of pestering can’t give an ETA. Very disappointed in them especially since they’re still making new units with the same part numbers. Apparently Deere used the same drive wheels on some units so my brother is looking to see if we can find something that way possibly.

                          The guy we went to see had some rebuilt Huebsch front loads which is the same as a speed queen. Ended up getting an LG as the Mrs wanted a few more cycle options than they offered. I’ll be curious to see how it shakes out. Learned more about laundry in an hour visit with him than either of us knew before 😉

                            Our washing machine is a LG, WM 8000 HVA front load, have had it for over 9 years , has been flawless performance. Farm water farm washing direct drive steam.

                              Brazilian farmers have only sold 30% of their soybeans (150m tonnes) this year, the lowest amount since 2006.

                              Apparently they are waiting for higher prices.

                              If decent US crop…in 2023… could be big pressure in global markets… Argentina could be under 30m tonnes, down from 50m tonnes last year…

                              Apparently Canadian canola crushers are importing canola from Australia…. Wheat is also over priced in Canadian domestic markets….

                              I see Cargill offering $19.50/bu this morning for Canola….

                                Interesting dressed beef weights less than last year, as well as slaughter numbers down 4% as well…



                                Looks like store beef prices will be up big time this spring…

                                US is still not holding back heifers…beef herd still shrinking…

                                Brazil refuses to report BSE information in a timely manner…. Over a month after positive is discovered… US legislation to ban Brazilian beef being pushed forward…

                                Cheers
