@gbtangus Depends on what the orange clown, who 90+% of American farmers voted for, does in the next few months. Jeremy Klassen says to watch the Dow today for cattle market price predictions about six months out.

@sarobertsonca I’ve always enjoyed Herle’s analysis. He certainly smashed it out of the park with this gem.

@iamyourfarmer What about oats? I have grown an oat crop or a few but I have oats to sell.

@BeetfarmerDave Ocean water has a lot of salt in it which makes it quite conductive to electricity. Pouring that on electrical equipment would be very detrimental.

Fresh water has little to no salt in it. Pouring fresh water on electrical equipment is far better. I hope this helps.

@runningbehind77 How much and where? I don’t need the plow.

[Dan Murphy @dmurphypei]

@TruckerDanUSA My guess is 78-79.

@funtomvids The only one of the three stooges not present in this sideshow was @AndrewScheer.

@CornwallHeath @AgFreeAgent Heath, once again, Maritime beef farmers are driven over by your government bus. I really didn’t expect this from your government.

[Dan Murphy @dmurphypei]

@Pepperfire I completely disagree with you.

[Dan Murphy @dmurphypei]

@CornwallHeath Heath, I have to point out to you that a not insignificant amount of success (actually survival) of the Maritime beef industry can be attributed to the research and plant breeding that came out of Nappan. Perhaps, instead of subsidizing oil and gas, your government could fund Ag

@PierrePoilievre Jamil beat you to it. Plus, he has far more sway in DC than you will ever have, for whatever that’s worth. Not much actually.

@KenSchaus If these are younger steers being brought in to a finishing lot missing nearly 50% of tags, I’d say the issue is improper tag placement at the cow-calf operation. We tag at birth and background them to 850 lbs or so. Rarely have to replace a tag.

@tmonteIH That’s interesting that an XT would have that and my later 200 does not have live pto. Seems like that was a step backwards.

@steveconaway1 My late (50 years now) grandfather had a fleet of retired Case combines parked in the yard. It seems that when he was done with one he parked it and just bought another one. Farm economics was clearly different then.

@kowalchukfarms1 On another note, when CBC used to cover the Calgary Stampede, they would cut the broadcast before the end of the Rangeland Derby each day. That was a line crossed IMO.

@LMcLachlan60 @kowalchukfarms1 I’m not part of SM but, when I got my ass handed to me on a plate in the 90’s and early 2000’s, my dairy friends were getting along fairly well. I’ve never begrudged them that. What bothers me is the ignorance of farmers who don’t understand that system and want to tear it down.

@tmonteIH I have a massive collection of one Allis. I’m almost tempted to say “free to a good home”.

[Dan Murphy @dmurphypei]

@MarkMytopher @LMcLachlan60 I deposit 2-3 US cheques every year. The money has always been released immediately but it’s only a few hundred dollars each time. Maybe the dollar amount is a factor.

@tmonteIH Nice truck. Nice to see some Canadian horsepower in the background too.
