I like how you can’t take a truck down the roads but a tractor and loaded drill is perfectly fine 😅

Hi Mike, I've personally haulage lots of the older 20ft containers full of beans that came from Canada into UK ports & delivered them to various baked beans factories. We British love baked beans, baked beans are good for the heart & the more you eat the more you'll fart!🤣

I used to work for Canada Malting. We had 2 facilities (Vancouver and Montreal) where we would use a blower to blow the malt into bagged c-cans. For larger shipments that went overseas, we would send malt via trains to Vancouver and Thunder Bay for bulk loading directly into holds of ships. It was usually offloaded from the ship holds at the destination port with clamshell buckets.

I always appreciate the learning vids. I had no idea how it works and now I have a clue. Thanks for educating us Mike.

Congratulations on 200k subscribers. Great KZfaq channel. Alway enjoy all your interesting videos.

Great video as usual Mike. Agree with you 100% that emails and phones dont go together. 😂😂😂 God bless from Australia.

Awesome! Have a good friend in Quill Lake.

Congratulations on 200k. Subs

Love the videos Mike!

Interesting sir the perils of suppling us non farmers with edibles i really hadnt thought about comodities and who gets stuck in big market fluctions thanks mike

Hi Mike. In the UK mostly we don't get paid until 28 days later. Money paid direct into your bank and results are emailed. One of our merchants is 25th of the month after delivery.

Great video Mike

I can already see the people asking Mike if he’s getting the new 9rx 830 haha

Alot of good Info mike, thanks for sharing, Did you hear about the 900,000 bushel bin collapse in Indiana there last week I think, trippy farmer has video of it, the video of it collapsing is insane, completely full of corn too, it's just gave way, something failed, crazy footage

I get a bazillion emails as well. Mine is sorted by contact that keeps me from overlooking or deleting something important certain folders get archived monthly. I’m sure you are aware of this. Just a very efficient suggestion.

realy good Mike

From Ga,we buy 50 lb bags of hard winter wheat for bread. Either Canadian, or Montana. Would be interesting to know how many terminals it goes through before being brown bagged for us.

Good subject Mike, thanks for sharing. Are there any farmer-owned cooperative grain buyers?

I had never heard of lentils until I started following you. Now I see that lentils are a popular food in India.👍

I used to haul to a “fly by nighter” hauled 70-100 loads of Ddg into them and was amazing paid well but holy cow was it a shot hole… but man their checks were always good loading sea cans and loaded them onto trains and went to Houston to get shipped to china

That ol bird shit covered tractor buggin ya😂😂👍.

Looking at Quill Lake weather this morning doesn’t look very nice. Snow, wind, rather nippy. Always worried about your check when we had a dairy. Check was a month or more late after delivery. Thanks for the information on marketing.

Central Alberta here just got a dump snow over night. Hope it comes your way. Looks like you need it

My father hauled bulk canola and we put plastic up in a 53’ Reefer Trailer with load-locks and in California, they would lift the trailer and truck way in the air and it flows out. I think it was already pressed for oil at Cambra Foods and this was the leftovers.

Mike what u think about jd new 830 hp tractor..something u think u could use ?

For your peas if you haven’t before you should look into belle pulse in duck lake sk I’ve hauled from your area to them before

Do you get a lot of ground moisture from the snow, or do you find it runs off because the ground is still frozen as it melts?

I know the guy that washed your trailer 😂

Magnifique camion et les remorque et les cilo à céréales et bien grand 😂😮😅😊

no snow Mike do you predict a dry growing season coming up?

Morning

I used to work for that company

its time too demo the new 830hp john deer quad track now!

We had farmers not get their money from a local elevator due to embezzlement. The manager stole money for many years. He lived the high life on the farmers money. I heard one farmer was out over a million dollars. The manager is in prison now, but the farmers will get pennies on the dollar at best.

For me getting the paper statement that’s actually big enough to read is a trust but verify situation. Now most of these stations are probably very automated but where I am some of them aren’t. Those that aren’t are just manual data entry and mistakes happen from time to time. Ask me how I know 🤦🏻‍♂

After I got taken in hindsight I always sell to three different elavotor I don’t care what the name is ,and the one that went bankrupt every one that got paid within 60 days before had to bring the money back it’s called clawback you learn a lot

This weather in February isn't unusual, people just don't remember past years.

I'm retired now but when I started working an old timer coworker told me.....every time you get a couple of bucks saved up there is always a bill for three

It’s like u drag the drought wherever u go. Lol

I sell organic wheat in Utah and the place we take it doesn’t pay us for 30 days. Feels like an eternity

👍

Hey Mike have you seen the new John Deere 9RX 830? They don’t have DEF anymore!

Mikey hot the big time at 200K!!! WooHoo. I'm shocked these so called fly by nighters don't have to carry mandatory insurance to keep the farmer healthy on their deliveries. That's ridiculous IMO

Mike, I see John Deere came out with the new RX series 710, 770, 830 HP, are you going after Deere to get you a demo? I would really like your review after running the new Stieger 715 and then the new John Deere 9RX. Just saying....

Mike, the reason they have two ways to tell time is because people 30 and under can't tell time with a clock. Schools in the United States rather teach a man can woman are a cat. I remember in 1980's and 90's farmers lost their farms because they had corn and beans stored at grain elevators that were in trouble.

I bet the snow came in the last 24 hrs haha.

Been some smaller specialty elevators that have gane bankrupt. Bad deal for farmers.

Hey, what is a sea can? I’m from Australia we don’t use that term. Cheers mate 👍

Hey mike have you seen John Deere has answered your question as for tractors

I was in the situation a year ago had liens recorded at sect of state office the federal govt gave the money to the big bank and screwed the farmer

Is that a colony where you had your truck washed.

My guess is you woke up to more snow this morning especially if you are at Northern farm due to the Alberta Clipper that is passing through western Canada 🥶💨❄️❄️💨🥶

It no good getting a cheque in England as they have closed all bank branches you would have to post it to the bank to pay in more time and possibility of it getting lost😒😒

Did you ever go to the crop production show

Mike, what is your opinion of the AF11 Case combine

Everybody wants their money including you. 😊

Your lack of snow is concerning. Do you rely for heavy snow ❄️ to provide your crops with adequate moisture to start the growing process ?

👋🏼😎

Nice to see you don,t have the ridiculous US style grain legs, elevating grain 100ft up to let it fall down again, the logic of those things beats me

Oi 💪💪💪💪👏👏👍

Hi Mike. Any comment on the cereal oats pesticide issue that US environmentalists are blaming Canadian farmers for?

Hi Mike! Why isn't it possible for farmers to directly sell their grain to those who the terminals sell it to?

Sounds like typical business practices except you get paid within 10 days? GC work sometimes would go 120 days before payment. All subs on a project would generally finance a project. No bank needed for some like walmart and the like. And then, some projects would bail on payment all together. And then ask you to bid their next project. Farming sounds like a better bet than building for sure. I wish you well young man. The economy is getting to that iffy point for many. Say your prayers.

Cheques in 21st century... 😳🤣😁🤔

On our irrigated farm in South Texas, we don't waste water washing vehicles, tractors, or equipment unless absolutely necessary. Water grows our crops, food, and animals and each year it is diminishing not because of climate change but because of extreme immigration. Hell, Mexico City is about out of water. 22+ million people and no water.

Why do they ban lorry's on some roads ?????

That new Case 715 looks like a little tractor compared to the new 9R 830 Deere. Time to demo one and pull that 100 drill up those slopes!

I hate waiting on getting paid for my crops but growing lentils it seems to be a necessary evil. That being said, the longest I’ve waited on a cheque is 6 months and it was no specialty outfit. Cargill.

A mobile phone is clearly not designed to read emails on. Don't you have a PC and/or a printer at the farm ?

way,way to much talking and not enough doing
