So we are finally getting into the swing of things here now, and still cracking down on durum. I am right by the farm seeding my favorite south farm 1/4 of land. It has alot history and is very important to me, and because that, it always gets alittle extra love 👌😆🤷🏼‍♂️

I’m watching this on May 7 and see that sw SK is under heavy rainfall warning including the south farm area, expected amounts 2”-3”. Yay for Mike and family! Should help a lot if it really comes down (and doesn’t cause much flooding).

@veronikavasku Ай бұрын

JD was RX 68 db's and the FENDT 1050 had the loud hydraulic whine so it was 69 db's.

Man I feel fortunate to have grown up on a farm in the Mid Willamette Valley of Oregon (despite the politics) 1hour from the coastline and 1hour from the ski mountains (snowmobiling for us) and true 4season weather with no extremes.. 40/50s and wet winter with maybe a dusting of snow once or twice a winter 75/85s summer and a 20 mph wind was considered a wind storm😅 I remember my father had a uncle that had settled in Calgary BC and had a large farm/ranch northeast of the city and we would visit in the early winter after all the farming was done for us, I remember seeing those large smokestacks on all those farms with flames rolling out the tops, apparently it was them burning off the methane gas produced by chickens.. quite the sight.. That is some barren unforgiving land in an extremely harsh environment, hats off to those whom managed to tame it enough to establish multi generational farm operations..no easy feat..

@crandonborth Ай бұрын

It’s done to accurately place the seed at the correct depth. If you plant the same direction as the year before you run the risk of burring it or it being too shallow due to the drill furrows from the previous year.
