@kowalchukfarms1 Good I hope it keeps up for a while (and no hail like you guys seem to get sometimes).

@Pasztor79 Looks like quite a band of rain north of Lake Erie. About 1/10” north of Paris

@BrownRecord My seats are in the corner near there. Thought the exact same thing when I saw the far ref make that call.

@islandviewag @oldfarmgirlkah In recent years we’ve done several river cruises. Won’t do the large cruise ships any more as we did in the past. We are currently on the Douro River in north Portugal. Great weather, big wine region, 96 passengers. As Kelly said you are able to get to know some fellow passengers

@megnmoran And then there are some dumb old guys that hang out on the ice at the French River when it’s minus 27. Your guy has got the right idea.

[Ed Shantz @edshantz]

@JonWilken @WxOntario1 You’re right. It looks nice out there, but this old guy is starting to get bored with the -20 to -25 type temperatures.

@KenSchaus @kevinki16180099 How many head per truck

@DeanPat57613010 @Campbellgrain Have an old 340 Yamaha enticer for the grandsons. Perfect size, runs great. Track tensioner broke on one side so had to pull out the undercarriage/suspension. Don’t want to do that job again any time soon. Tricky to get bolts lined up when going back together when doing it alone

@Campbellgrain @DeanPat57613010 I got this on Amazon. Was cheap I think. Top 2 shelves have room for grinders- get a 2nd one if need more space. Doesn’t work for grease gun, skil saw, etc. Was working on a snowmobile last couple of days and the rack was empty- tools everywhere. Still gotta put stuff back.

[Ed Shantz @edshantz]

@WxOntario1 Thanks. Yes the Davis ones are pricey. I think Acurite will be adequate for me.

[Ed Shantz @edshantz]

Back at it. Snow is mostly gone. Nice day at the moment (and moisture has dropped about 4 points) A bit surprising given how wet it has been

[Ed Shantz @edshantz]

My 8 year old grandson said those wagons look like they’re filled with yellow gold- maybe a bigger Christmas present. I said the price of that gold not too good this year and not much of it and gave him the old cash crop saying. Maybe next year.

Fiery sunset earlier

Soybeans are done, warm enough to eat outside, it’s all good

[Ed Shantz @edshantz]

@kowalchukfarms1 @Agridome This one is a 98. I don’t do many acres but has been good for me. Biggest expense so far is new aftermarket concaves.

It gets a bit boring with Brant usually the lowest yield area in SW Ont in the dry years. On a good note I ran into ⁦@MoeChauvin⁩ and ⁦@CathyChauvin⁩ at the Outdoor Farm Show. Have followed them on X for awhile. Had a nice chat- we had the same MF combine for a while

[Ed Shantz @edshantz]

@MoeChauvin @KucharCombine I will have a look at it- thank you. Was good to meet you and Cathy today.

@AdamJPfeffer @Chimoguy Last couple of weeks have been below 10 deg C pretty much every night. Seems like I have read/ heard in the past that really slows heat unit accumulation @SCSAgronomy
