@stacres @noisyrandy @CarldeConinck I promised you a middle out field. Worked really well. I cut it short on the south end cause it was green (but turned out it all combined anyways, should have made it full length. I put the blue flags in on the computer the night before, gps makes it nicer for sure.

@o2farms_sk @bigbushelsag What group that can't be sprayed on beans or corn are you referring to?

@TrentMeyerSK @clmerz1 @jcalder1983 @MaizeingPete @GrainShark 10-4 or t9

@stacres I quit using totes for chem less than 0.5L/ac, too many screw ups. I hate jugs but at least I know they are going on at the right rate.

[HamNation @hamnation]

@stacres The banjo one seems to be pretty good, doesn't seem to read high when it sucks air. Our old one would shoot way high if it sucked air at the end or a bad connection. Scale sounds good but seems awkward like would your whole chem deck be one big scale? Tare and go?

[HamNation @hamnation]

@stacres Ya they try to make it as hard as possible.

@MoneoDallas @ChrisBeaudry9 @1030ComfortKing 22 lbs actual N, assuming 1" opener on 12" spacing, Seems high to me. Do you put that much N down the seed opener with the seed hawk? I would typically put 15-50-0-12 lbs actual down the seed pipe with cereals. Rest of the N down the midrow.

@noisyrandy @CarldeConinck I'm going back to middle out combining this year, especially since you think it's weird Randolph!

[HamNation @hamnation]

@CarldeConinck Ya no kidding. I think they were a bit wider if I remember correctly. But combining from the inside out worked great. But now with auto steer it doesn't make as much sense. I can't get the John deere to go in nice curves to save my life.

@DirtFarmerMcB @bradschneider8 @BourgaultAg Make sure your speed sensor is in the right spot. Have had it be a little too far away and have had the sprocket slip out a bit. Both caused intermittent shaft fluctuating.

@bradschneider8 More product, fan speeds up

[HamNation @hamnation]

@neilserfas @Mullin_95 It's not the seeding rate that's the problem. It's the lottery of it getting small or big seed at the same $ per "acre". Now I feel ripped off when I get small seed. When we used to pay per lb, I wanted small seed to do more acres per $. "Fair" is somewhere in between.

@noisyrandy @bigmothufacking @Denny2point0 Could play risk on that leg

@TheThunder83 @noisyrandy Fire up the Obama lite

[HamNation @hamnation]

@noisyrandy I remember a night of knee boarding behind @TheRealJessbob lawn mower in that ditch.

[HamNation @hamnation]

@noisyrandy How long did it take to put together? Half a bottle of rum?

@CarldeConinck There is a generic insurance cost calculator on the scic website that shows a new growers coverage and premiums per soil class. I learned that a new b. mustard grower has $60 more coverage than me for the same premium because dad tried 60 acres in 1990. Never grew it again.
