Thank you @WebbsMachinery for seeding the Vegreville & District Foodgrains Growing Project today! @Foodgrains @VaderstadNA

@AllamFarmer What size did you buy? And from where?

[Darren Achtymichuk @dachtym]

@AllamFarmer Does it work well on stubble too? Or better on worked ground?

Farmers - Has anyone tried a pressure washer surface cleaner attachment for cleaning a shop floor? We have a Karcher sweeper that works well but would be nice to wash it occasionally. An actual floor scrubbing machine seems like overkill for us. Shop is roughly 60x100 #westcdnag

I’ve just written about something that doesn’t get enough attention, the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada, and the very real connection between communities here and the war back home.

From speaking in Edmonton to meeting the family of a fallen soldier, this one is personal. If you want to understand how this war reaches far beyond Ukraine’s borders, give it a read and share 🇺🇦

Alberta’s Ukrainian diaspora hasn’t just remembered its roots, it’s protected its culture, language, and identity for generations, and continues to stand with Ukraine during Russia’s invasion providing much needed support.

Ukraine has now provided more military aid to the U.S. this year than the U.S. has provided to Ukraine.

Weirdly, Iranian embassy in Pretoria notified us, Ukrainian diplomats, about opening a book of condolences in memory of ayatollah Khamenei and the military leadership of Iran.

I decided to respond - and do it in a public way. The letter explains why.

Your Excellency,
Mr. Ambassador,

Since you notified the Embassy of Ukraine of the book of condolences for deceased Ayatollah Khamenei and Iran’s military leadership, I feel compelled to remind you the following.

As military allies of the Russian Federation, the deceased leaders of Iran had on their hands the blood of thousands of Ukrainian citizens – men and women, children and elderly – killed with the help of the infamous Iran-made “Shahed” drones and other military know-how so eagerly provided to Russia by your government. Your leaders were complicit in bringing endless grief to Ukrainian civilians.

Being a person of faith, I try not to rejoice in the death of other people, even those who chose to be tormentors of my country that did nothing bad to theirs. But as someone who has spent three years to the tune of Iran-created machines of death howling every night in the sky over Kyiv and other peaceful Ukrainian cities, I cannot help but wish for every culprit to meet the justice they deserve. If not by human law, then in the face of God Almighty.

Ambassador, I do not know you personally and have no grudge against you. Sometimes good diplomats must speak for bad leaders and their policies. But I hope you understand that I won’t express condolences for someone whose death I do not mourn.

Sincerely,
Dr. Olexander Scherba
Ambassador

Steve Witkoff ran away when I confronted him about his financial ties to Russia.

His real estate company has been bankrolled directly by a former advisor to Vladimir Putin's sovereign wealth fund.

He’s been making pro russia statements for months.

Has anyone tried Suncast Polytech in Edmonton for recapping Quadtrac bogie wheels? Have heard of other outfits doing it (FGI, Force Heavy Equipment, etc), but this would be our closest option. https://t.co/cLkdAWqDaT #WestCdnAg

[Darren Achtymichuk @dachtym]

@BaldurBarons @NHAgriculture It did seem more stable than past couple of years. Now would be nice to see them add more features (ability for the cart tractor to see combine locations and amount of grain in hopper on an iPad/monitor, quicker updates in the FieldOps app, etc)

The @Foodgrains wheat field has been harvested by local farmers. The Vegreville & District Food Grains Grow Project volunteers have been helping to end global hunger since 2001. An amazing day to see farmers and Ag community come together for humanity. #Thanksgiving

@BaldurBarons Do you think a person could go from 3 previous gen (CR9.90/10.90’s) to 2 new gen (CR10/11)?

@AllamFarmer @veldkampd Who is it from? One supplier told us the payback was 7 years, but when I ran the numbers myself it was twice as long as what they claimed. Other suppliers were more upfront/transparent with their numbers imo

[Darren Achtymichuk @dachtym]

@AllamFarmer @veldkampd I got quotes for solar a couple years ago, but the economics of it seemed pretty marginal (around 10-15 year payback).

Power you generate and use onsite becomes free, but if you’re selling to the grid in the summer, and buying in the winter you still pay the transmission and

The #VegrevilleFoodGrains Growing Project would kindly appreciate anyone willing to help with fertilizer expenses. Help us fight world hunger.

[Darren Achtymichuk @dachtym]

@kperlik Look like it’s going to amount to much? Radar looks ugly, but just a few spits here so far

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

Putin must pay. It’s unthinkable to give him a bailout.

A long-term plan needs global leadership.

We all need to do more, but now as Canada hosts the upcoming G7 Leaders’ Summit there is a real chance to lead.

@TylerJohnWiebe @ThunderstruckAg Sorry to pull up an old post - Wentworth carries these? Or was it somewhere you previously worked? (Do you know where I can find them?)
