@michaelbp1974 sorry i recalculated and we use 4 liters per inch with the diesel pump.
we pull from a dugout

[Rob Page @RobPage7]

@SimonMahan @michaelbp1974 on top of that we get a bill every month from the electric services even if we don’t use any electricity.
when the diesel and natural gas engines shut down for winter they don’t cost a thing.

Where’s the best place to get tracks for an Mt765

@bscomet22 lid not shut properly?

@drich82 My grandparents left in their 50’s
My parents are in their 70s and dad still rolls through the yard daily.
He works harder than most but I’m generally left to do what I want.

Seeding is moving along nicely. Enjoying a much needed rain day before we get back at it to finish up.

Here we go #plant25

[Rob Page @RobPage7]

@LowBoomLowDrift All depends on seeding and harvest direction. Ideally crossing both at 45-60°

@LowBoomLowDrift @kurt_shmon I’ve got an extra ticket to the tractor pulls that are running during the Louisville Kentucky farm show on feb 12 if you are going to be at that show.

@Mullin_95 Probably not the same but we had a new holland 8870 that would cut out if we had the head lights on.
The battery cables were corroded inside and the lights were taking enough voltage to pull power from the pto switch.

@ranger620v What is the ph of your water?
Liberty works way better if you can drop your ph down to 5-6

Delaro going on the peas today.

Peas going in the ground.

Jagmeet is still on Loblaw's case. He has a real hate-on for Galen Weston.

Loblaws released their full-year 2023 financial in late February.

They bought $40.5 billion dollars of goods from producers. They re-sold those goods for $52.2 billion through 600+ stores across Canada.

So their gross retail margin was $19 billion.

Their staff, rent, utilities, advertising, trucking, etc was $15.3 billion.

They employ 220,000 Canadians, making them one of the biggest private sector employers in the country.

Interest on debt was $825 million.

They paid $714 million in taxes (Federal, Prov. & municipal) .

That left $2.1 billion in net income.

A minuscule $562 million from the profits were redistributed to shareholders. The rest of the profits were re-invested in new stores. In other words, they re-injected $1.5 billion into the economy.

On paper they earned $6.46/share. For a $150.10 share, that represents a return on investment of 4.3%

It's a typical retail business with miniscule margins. It's definitely not a stock I would invest in.

For context, the Trudeau government burns through $2.1 billion in just a day.

Jagmeet won't be happy until Loblaws makes ZERO profit. What does he want them to do with the $562 million they gave back to shareholder?

Jagmeet's policies and support of the Liberals does a lot more to hurt Canadians than Loblaws. If Jagmeet really cared about helping Canadians, he'd kill the carbon tax and find other tax breaks for Canadians. He's propping up the Liberals, who's devastating policies have led to record inflation, 40-year high interest rates and made life more expensive for all of us.

I built a used oil smudge pot last week and it works amazing. 4-5 gal of used engine oil per hour turns into a lot of BTU’s to drink beer around.

@LowBoomLowDrift @JK_Hufnagel We have one and have been playing around with it for a season. 30-50ac/hr depending on how well your trailer setup is. One guy could run 4 of them in the same field pretty easily if they could all talk to each other. Weed identification maps will be a game changer for drones

So, today, if you heat your home with heating oil you pay no carbon price. If you heat for home with natural gas, which is about 30% cleaner on an emissions per GJ basis, you're paying carbon taxes. Among other things, the regional distribution of this is unfair.

Finishing up the peas. #harvest23

New toy, calibration flight went well. It comes with a spreader box that we are going use to broadcast alfalfa on a quarter and a liquid tank for liquid application.
