@SpecialtySeeds @kurt_shmon Good to hear some is starting to come off. We have been trying to source a bunch for human consumption market and nothing off locally and now it has been raining a bunch.

Anyone have some high quality flax that they have harvested already? Thinking western Sask and Alberta are most likely harvesting that good stuff.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@EdWhiteMarkets Yet again, it disappeared on our doorstep.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

We are on the search for Winter Triticale! If you have either old or new crop let me know. Let’s make a deal.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@DarrelWaldnee @EGOPowerPlus Yes they do. I’ve been looking at their pressure washer thinking it would be nice to set up with an old chem tote for mobile washing.

@KelvinHeppner Thanks for making that a little more clear. I suppose the restricted imports over the past few years helped Chinese domestic prices.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@olblue81 @landon707 @LowBoomLowDrift That seems more possible.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@landon707 @LowBoomLowDrift I tried mixing up some Roger’s white sugar as a test on some late season beetles a number of years ago. Didn’t do a thing.

@GeralynWichers Hahah, I feel like there might be a line up of farmers willing to try this.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@ShaunCory5 Fingers crossed for some hair metal and power ballads.

Do farmers have any legal recourse against the rail companies for a lack of service given they are a duopoly? There is no reason they should not have sorted out their labour issues earlier.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@Russell1Tyler @AllamFarmer I think this one falls on the gov. Was initially supposed to happen in May, but gov wanted to study the safety. That pushed it back to now.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@BDuchek Commodity groups should work together. I’m sure this has been discussed by them already.

[Simon Ellis - Ellis Seeds @FarmLifeMB]

@o2farms_sk Likely wishful thinking unfortunately. I don’t know enough about all the legal agreements with the gov, but in my uneducated opinion there should be some recourse for farmers and the economy at large.

@BrettHargreave1 @bigbushelsag Woah I saw some pictures of water over the Treesbank road. Figured there must have been a lot of rain.
