@sdjmaxwell Please give me a call to talk about this. I’m always interested to help farmers who want to do a better job of their financial management.

@KevinHursh1 A few years ago, Merle Good - the Alberta farm management specialist - recommended gross income as a metric on equipment investment thresholds. I think 1X to 2X gross income was recommended range. The per acre does not account for variations in productivity of different soil.

@skellerfarms Thx for raising this issue. A more significant flaw is the initial premise. The GOC broad goal is 30% reduction in Emmissions - not use. Research has, is and will continue to find the BMPs and product modifications that will maintain production with reduced Emmissions.

@LeftFieldCR Chuck - APAS did that type of analysis a year ago. I think it’s on their website. You may wish to confirm some of the basic assumptions.

FYI - Some digging into what is characterized as “groceries” in the past suggests it includes: restaurant purchases, alcohol beverages, tobacco (& now likely cannabis products). It begs the question of what eating nutritious foods for simply human health actually costs.

@GHGGuru Q: If satellites are able to detect changes in N2O emissions over time, will we be able now to “ground truth” the calculations - that have been extrapolations of cow paddy emissions - as to their accuracy as other better known emission changes happen?

@GeraldPilger - I was intrigued by your Hawaii related article and responded using Facebook messenger because I could not find another way to communicate one on one with you. Please check my Facebook account and search Messenger if you wish to answer some of the questions I had.

@KowalchukFarms The splines on our Wheatheart were a tapered shaft so a good hit should do it.

The patchwork field pattern of bygone days in Sask are still evident on the outskirts of Vienna.

Finally the last canola field for #harvest17 and I to do deal this. East/West swaths after a stiff north wind.

[Doyle Wiebe @DoyleWiebe]

Last wheat field of #harvest17. Beautiful day and such a beautiful sample elevator managers will have nothing to blend.

[Doyle Wiebe @DoyleWiebe]

Deer are looking lost and forlorn as there buffet meals and favorite siesta spots disappear while #harvest17 continues.

GGC summer meeting includes informative tour of Yara N production facility at Belle Plain. Quite impressive.

@LeftwichD Is that the tractor with the famous cameo appearance in L2F?

[Doyle Wiebe @DoyleWiebe]

@JustinTrudeau lives up to pledge made after China blackleg resolution in Sept. to visit a canola farm. Thx Todd Lewis for hosting him.

[Doyle Wiebe @DoyleWiebe]

@rgstone1 I will try to put in a good word for you when I see him. As movies go, is this 1 or 2 degrees of separation?
