@kowalchukfarms1 This happens in all sectors. Lots of companies grow fast, attract lots of money and then some crash and burn.

@Shawridgefarm Yes it’s for a rain360. I thought the same. It is pretty simple otherwise. Just needs power and has 2 lift switches.

The GPS receiver to planter ratio is getting out of hand…

[Gerard Steenbeek @GSTE]

@ndcorngrower Yes it’s for a rain 360

[Gerard Steenbeek @GSTE]

@MdMcLean1 @WxOntario1 Way ahead of you

[Gerard Steenbeek @GSTE]

@graydenmills Would like to know as well. Have one that looks the same

[Gerard Steenbeek @GSTE]

@Agridome @TorontoStar This should have been obvious to anyone who can do math. Unless you really need it, you only buy things at CT when they are on sale

[Gerard Steenbeek @GSTE]

@CanadianCowMan Negative numbers of that would be an improvement here…

@Shawridgefarm @Milkabot @SteveTwynstra @LMcLachlan60 In the end everyone only care about who gets the most votes. Might feel good to give the middle finger to all parties, but it is just as effective as colouring your hair blue.

@kevinki16180099 @BirnamPork Yes walker farms use milk from their own cows. It is an interesting way to add value to your product. I’m sure it has some extra headaches too.
Winter came early and stayed, but we are ready for it.

[Gerard Steenbeek @GSTE]

@kevinki16180099 @BirnamPork Walker family still owns the dairy. Why do you think they don’t?
