I learn more and more of the parent I want and need to be just by observing grown ass adults at Costco

Officially “Did I Tan? Or is it just dirt?” In the shower season.

It was both.

Some solid engagement on this post and some strong views from heavy hitters in #westcdnag

Don’t have to scroll through @LowBoomLowDrift’s timeline too far to know that these are impressive units.

5 gallons-Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Can these units do it? Seems like it. But not every operation, nor every operator is equipped to be able to do it well.

Sprayers, simply, are tires, boom, tank and pump. Water quality and nozzles are the cheapest things in that unit. Also the most costly if you don’t pay attention. There has been some very poor water tests this spring despite impressive runoff. Dugouts, wells, and canals alike.

Good nozzles putting out the right droplet for the pressures you run cost $0.20/acre with a 10K acre life. And I know there’s a lot of rigs running tips that were there when Trudeau 1 was in power….

Water? A cheap test and $2-3/acre to condition if needed

Simple agronomy done right > sexy agronomy 11x/10.

Can we still get coverage in big wind at 5 gallons per acre ? 😎

PSA:

If we’re spraying glyphosate tomorrow, maybe wait till after lunch.

@SWalisser One hand on the steering wheel, one in hand, one in the cup holder.

Knowledge is knowing I can bomb canola bags 2 at a time.

Wisdom is knowing longevity is more important than ego.

There’s something therapeutic about kicking up dust on gravel for the first time each spring.

Semi’s pulling drills on highway count today: 7

#plant26 is here.

General reminder- pulling over for 30 seconds to get them past you will not ruin your day, and keeps everyone safe.

@CharlesBullee @kowalchukfarms1 Correct.

Was it a goal? Yes.

But he was nowhere near position to call it. Ego call.

[Derek Flad @Flad02]

Not sure how a guy can call a good goal on the ice when he’s closer to San Diego than he is to the actual goal.
