I thought I would take a few days off and go to Victoria where there is green grass and no snow. But mother nature threw a curve ball

Without further adieu, the winter wheat rap.

Stacks on trucks are getting taller so we have to raise overhead seed hopper so they can get under. So we have to take off downspouts to raise bin. Lots of fun

Just seeded a new 2R feed barley, TR 18645 from FCDC in Lacombe last night
It yields better than Austenson
It is so new it doesn't have a name. Does anyone have any suggestions

[Ron Markert @MarkertRon]

@WarrenPridham AAC Awesome is the variety name. Canadian special purpose it will be a feed wheat

[Ron Markert @MarkertRon]

I am just finishing #plant20 my Awesome CSP Wheat Yields 35% better than HRSW. How much closer can I get? The slough keeps telling me to come closer will I the wise old farmer resist or will the slough suck me in #seed20 @markertseedsL

Cert Inca peas seeded 7 days ago. Seeding Chrome peas now. Like to spread seeding dates out so that it spreads harvest out. If peas get to dry you get mechanical damage and it affects germination. Just another fun thing we seed growers have to do to get high quality seed

[Ron Markert @MarkertRon]

Wonderful view wonderful day. Finished my Viewfield wheat last night, short straw good yield, will finish Landmark today, midge tolerant and semi solid stem good for sawfly

Eating out again
My favourite sandwich peanut butter and bananas. Whats yours?

[Ron Markert @MarkertRon]

You know you are a Rednet grower when you test negative but practice covid isolation in your tractor cab just in case

[Ron Markert @MarkertRon]

Pardon me did you say Rednecks have fun
They probably do sir but I said my Rednet wheat field is done as in seeded #plant20 @markertseeds
Do have Rednet for sale
