    Easter Blessings! Reply With Quote

  • Apr 7, 2023 | 03:54 3 Lightning heats air to 50,000 degrees!









    We need to study how to better harvest Nitrogen from rain storms and static electricity! Is this the 'secret' behind the folks injecting diesel engine exhaust into the seed bed during seeding? Apply that urea and nitrous oxides into the soil... !

    Cheers

    Apr 7, 2023 | 06:36 4 Doesn't smell like spring yet ground is covered in snow and it's -14 this morning. There will be no seeding in April for us. Barely see a crow or a goose yet and frogs and robins just a dream still Reply With Quote

    Envioment Canada had some very optimistic forecasts here with Temps in the mid teens and well above freezing at night.
    That's all gone now with forecast all below normal.

    Half of Jan was foggy, mid April some sort of moisture may happen. Don’t see much coming, nothing of big significance. Reply With Quote

    Could mean good things for June! Reply With Quote

  • Apr 16, 2023 | 18:09 16 Seeding will be pushed back a bit as a cool wet next 5 days rolls in . Hopefully get some much needed moisture as the fields are mostly snow free and no frost in the ground .
    Should still start in good time around here as of yet Reply With Quote

    Apr 16, 2023 | 18:49 17 Took a good drive around our land today, probably the most water i have seen on the land in a very long time.Grader was out friday and cleaned the remaining snow off the roads.Seeding will maybe start mid May with good weather, but this weather bomb coming this week could spell disaster.Oh well drill is still in snowbank, should have stayed south longer.

    Much like our ole bourgault, excellent for cereals and does the job with the nephew in the seat , although I may get demoted off sprayer back to running that one as the nephew will be running the higher tech SM . He much younger and more on top of the newer tech than me now Reply With Quote
