@AdamJPfeffer @farmerschneck I prefer to keep out for long time storage and fines are much less then what competitors leave in field lol

@SteveTwynstra @WxOntario1 I was told by a Meteorology professor at McGill in 1991 that weather forecasts will be very inaccurate when they switch to the new Doppler system compared to old “golf balls” and he is correct.

@MaizeingPete I would be concerned if they even counted properly in field checks with so many errors

[Berny Dirven @Dutchbern]

@farmerschneck @KeithWells6 Even a test mode to make sure it is working

[Berny Dirven @Dutchbern]

@farmerschneck @KeithWells6 Yes got it setup so can turn off and put siren on silence if nearby and have a switch so can use it on both overheads

[Berny Dirven @Dutchbern]

@farmerschneck @KeithWells6 Reason we tied in a house alarm siren with the light. You can hear it well in not near lights.

@farmerschneck I would get that straight through dryer if possible just haven’t dried that high moisture so no experience with that

@crreesor My kids missed quite a few Fridays for hockey tournaments. They got high grades that earned them hockey scholarships and they graduated with high honours in university. The time management, teamwork and other skills learned will be useful for life.

@farmerschneck My April soybeans got fungicide already since rows canopied, loads of regular mushrooms growing already and same timing as my final herbicide pass. Plenty of soil moisture and fungicides are only preventative and not curative. The weather forecast changes every couple of days.

@joejansen1 Need a dislike button for that. Hopefully not much left in tank

@Travisdhanraj Thank you for being a real human that actually respects people. I always believe that good things happen to good people and you will be rewarded for your honesty.

@MaizeingPete Half of each. Still picking best varieties first. Xtend better/easier weed control. Enlist nice on early maturity soybeans going into winter wheat. No horsetail on early soybeans makes easier harvest.

@NYIslanders @NHL Congratulations Travis!

@farmerschneck I never mentioned tw. I said there is a healthy balance between kernel weight and kernel count on a cob. The top kernel weight or top kernel count in a plot doesn’t necessarily mean highest yield.

[Berny Dirven @Dutchbern]

@Beaudrybilly I run an i2231 in fall on corn residue and then in spring normally run two passes in spring. First warms up soil then find second pass makes a perfect seedbed. This is also the seedbed setup for notill winter wheat in fall. All residue stays out of seedzone

@MaizeingPete @Shawridgefarm I always thought that wa Russian

@phhermans The P96760 is large white dandruff or I like to call it artificial snow
