@silagechopper Had an old fella tell me yesterday, he doesn’t recall this kind of heat in the past.

I didn’t agree or disagree, but it’s for sure been wicked this year.

@CanadianCowMan This cow milkin deal is bullshit some days

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

@3furrowsjd Now I’m on those fuckin things, but it’s a helluva lot cheaper, I don’t smell, and I’m not winded doing basic shit anymore.

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

@3furrowsjd Zyns or Zonnics

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

@justushickey The boys really shit the bed on that one.

@RSHFarms We didn’t get a pre-winter this year. Bare ground Thursday, and BAM

@aritch20 Worked well for silage when we did last. Got lucky on rains so it wasn’t thirsty at all. Last time we did anything different was speed disc after triticale, planted 2650chu June 3rd. Pretty wet still at September 29th. Yield was solid though.

@3furrowsjd I walk around with a garden sprayer full of diesel, hit the nests and they don’t move after that. Cheaper and better range than a can of anything.

Heartwarming to hear the proper version!

Anybody in #ontag have plans or drawings for an ~80hd dairy heifer pack barn? A million different variations on these things.

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

Autosteer on the planter is great and all, but my phone died long be fore the day was done.

@silagechopper @ryley_kumm I guess the wind in Ontario isn’t quite the same monster lol

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

@silagechopper @ryley_kumm 4” or 6” Smooth wall tile screwed to the downspout eliminates most of the wind loss 🤙🏻

They call this the “Million dollar family”.

@CanadianCowMan From 10 back up to 15? I just ate the increase in November, it wasn’t crazy but it’s enough to notice.

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

@thelastlulu My dad was involved in a fatal collision this summer, month later my cousin died on a fishing trip, a month after that my grandfather died and in amongst that my uncle was also involved in a fatal accident. 2023 was a shit show of a year for a few of us.

Had 10 women in the house at 5:50pm for my wife’s ball team Christmas tour.
“Darn, almost 6. Guess I better go milk the cows.”

@dethomas24 @RDykxhoorn @Case_IH Quikattach switch on skidsteer went out, out of all the Huron dealers, no one had one. It’s the same switch for every single Deere skidsteer… seems odd to me that no stores had one.

[Christian Droefke @ChristianDroef1]

@RDykxhoorn @dave_drm @marvhere_ @warboys_farms And they gave us $3k for our non working, 18 year old houle.
