Well it’s getting close to head back north. Seen a few pictures posted from home of geese back so maybe in two weeks we will head home.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, May the luck of the Irish be with you.
Now luck I’m thinking 2023 sucks a lot already.
If you bought fert early you got ****ed real bad. If you sold grain early you won that one as canola is now not even looking like a good crop to grow. I love the comments that Australia is way lower than we are so we have to go lower. All canola is sold in Australia already so nothing to sell they can go to a dollar and it’s still doesn’t matter.
Welcome to how to pay for a Canola Plant in under three years.
Fert is down a 1/3 from the Christmas end of year buys.
So since it’s almost only 40 days till we start seeding.
What’s everyone’s seeding plans.
Wheat 4400
Peas 600
Canola 4400
Barley malt 600
Barley up and wheat up and canola down, peas steady due to disease and 8 year rule we use.
No new acres for us this year but soon we’ll have more than we know what to do with.
Rent way north of us is now $100.00
Rent south is $150.00
$485,000.00 is what pasture land is selling for west and north.
On equipment, new tractors are slim to none for all companies, with delays and getting bumped and used will garnish a premium. Do you think it’s a real easy way to keep the high, equipment costs high?
I guess I’m hearing Sask. Crop insurance is getting lots of calls on the new system, most say it sucks.
Still best way to sell out is go with bidding and watch it sell for good money.
Big Bud is back, Cab isn’t the final one since it isn’t rained for the weight of tractor.
Ah it’s time
The Dubliner Cocktail
Ingredients
2 ounces Irish whiskey
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
3 dashes orange bitters
Garnish: 1 green maraschino cherry
Steps
Add the whiskey, Grand Marnier, sweet vermouth and orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a green maraschino cherry.
Ah it’s so good
Have a great week.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Oh I forgot about politics for the week.
It seems Trudeau tried real hard and got an old GG to help him out.
Seems they have skied together and his kids have know the Trudeau kids and skippys kids have been over so it’s like putting your old uncle in charge of finding out if you were bad.
How much longer can the shit show Trudeau continue.
Oh one more he listed away $15 billion to get VW to come to canada and Michelin tires who knows what he promised it’s all a secret.

If you haven’t collected crap insurance for a number of yrs premiums are decent. They are going after the drought stricken guys who haven’t had a crop in three yrs. Haven’t they suffered enough with drought and then tack on a massive bill Oct 31.
Only good thing is prices with crap insurance are higher than what’s being offered to us in the fall.
$1100 Urea and $15 canola don’t jive in my books.
Good luck to all the new crushers coming on board.
I’m thinking there will be a lot of revisions done to seeding plans before drills hit the fields.
Enjoy your last couple wks in Florida, 4 of us are heading to Phoenix Mar 30 - Apr 3 for last golf trip before seeding.

Do you think the 2 billion that could explode to 15 billion to a company that didn't exist is the VW deal? Why does a profitable Michelin company need government money.

Where did you find the BLR? What caliber and what are you going to do with it? It's a nice one.

Hope you don't have it in Florida without ATF documents. Or it's jail for you. The 2nd Amendment is for Americans only.

You never answered the question whats a good scope, last few bushnells a disappointment.

Just my 2 cents.
What are you doing with the scope?
$500-$6000 gives a range.
Glass is made in China, Phillipines I believe, maybe S Korea, Japan, very little in US, and Germany.
Other parts, and assembly mostly that order.
Features and options add up.
Life is too short, time too valuable to waste with crap. If on a budget, start with the optics.
Some manufacturers have different lines of scopes made in different countries. From the list above you can draw general conclusions.
My kiss method is start at US assembly. Applies to red dots too.
Scopes start at $1000+. There are definitely brands that are a total waste of money. Some even have counterfeits.

Agree on what you’re saying. My sons look after that part. We split three ways our collection.

Be very cautious of Chinese counterfeits. I've seen counterfeit Leupolds. If it's under $1000 you will regret it eventually.

But that BLR isn't going to drive tacks at 500 yards with a 300, 500, 1, 2 or $3000 scope on it...
They're a beautiful gun but Quiqley it aint...

No, 1 moa would be lucky.
My point simply is clarity, and light gathering. Leupold VX3s are $800.
I have $800 Bushnells and you can tell.

I was just thinking that the white death didn’t use a scope, my Finnish Heritage runs deep, my younger years I did very well without a scope but now with reading glasses or without it’s pretty tough to line up both sights and the target, a good scope works wonders for the far sighted.

Leaver guns are great heirlooms.
Used to see old Winchesters standing in the corner in every bachelor's shack.
Nice pac gun.
Not what you take on a trophy hunt.
Perfect just the way it is.
