A Flat Land Farmer

Niagara Dairy farmer, cash cropper, commercial elevator, husband, father. Just trying to leave things better than they were when I got them.

@cropdoc2 @WheatPete I’m big on spraying in the fall.
I understand guys like to save $$$
Have any trials been done with doing a fall burn down instead of in the spring? Maybe move the in crop pass up a few stages? Prob more relevant for RR soybeans.

@wilkjef Here’s a novel idea. Make the eragon smaller so it matches the merge. Then they can put how ever many they want in a case

Introducing Deere’s new bale basket for the greedy bean grower.

Update. First 2 pictures are from the same spots as the originals. Extra driving from rolling up hoses.
Next 2 are in the field. Corn set back that was driven on but looks great between tyre tracks

Shout out to @prolanefarming for doing another excellent job draglineing on V3 corn. Ran out at the end but that’ll tell us how much of an effect it had.
Will put progress pictures up as year goes along. @OPACA_net @manuregirl #ontag

@BarlowFarms1843 Make sure your not getting kernel damage from it moving too fast, which also wears out pipes.

@WheatPete Can’t help but think that’s a good cover crop. If you can kill it

On behalf of Beaverloch Farms, Thankyou to our family, friends and Corporate Sponsors for helping us surpass our fundraising goal for the Niagara Children’s Center. The Winter Canola fields were very popular with the general public! Thank you! 😎

@gavin_spoor There’s no quick or cheap way to do it.
I just spread the bones in the field and pick them up as the get stuck in combine head. It’s not that often. Biggest problem is the neighborhood dogs bring them home

@AllamFarmer My only concern would be the sharp edges cutting the plastic

[A Flat Land Farmer @pattysummers89]

Anybody else having this problem this week? #ontag

[A Flat Land Farmer @pattysummers89]

@o2farms_sk You running a case or NH? Our Deere air seeder had to be hooked up backwards and pull the stick the other way.
No idea why it worked but it fixed the problem

[A Flat Land Farmer @pattysummers89]

@pete_90210 I’ve always found it tries to dry the top 12” of soil. As opposed to bare ground that’s drying 1”. So naturally it takes long.
But it often stays fit better with little rains because the water has somewhere to go.
Just my 2 cents

Cooler will also come stocked with your favourite cold summer beverage 👀

@Dusty42402999 @PlsntVlyFarmer If you don’t want them I’ll gladly take them off your hands

[A Flat Land Farmer @pattysummers89]

@FarmersEdgeAC Super easy and cheap ... I guess. Not so easy if you want to drive down there.
Need the longer pump but I’d never change

Why do they lie about mercury?

This makes me sick.

Edison Motors (@EdisonMotorsLtd), out of BC, is an amazing Canadian company trying to build electric logging trucks. Really cool stuff. So far, they've done it all without government grants.

Someone at the BC government convinced them to apply for a grant.

They applied on their own and got rejected, which really surprised the guys.

An accounting firm named MNP reached out to them, and said they could complete a re-application for them. Their fee... 20% of the amount granted by the government.

Turns out MNP is the firm also hired by the government to review and approve grant applications. So MNP acted for the grantor and the grantee, which is a conflict of interest.

Edison Motors brought this up to the government. Instead of investigating MNP, the BC government is now investigating Edison Motors. WTF?

This is how all government programs work. It's corruption.

By the way. Have you ever wondered how Google Maps is able to show traffic patterns so accurately?

They monitor everyone's mobile phone.

Your phone is actually a collection of over a half a dozen very precise sensors. You're carrying a thermometer, an altimeter, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a light sensor, even a moisture analyzer.

That information is sold to companies who use it to predict traffic, the weather, even power failures.

Big Brother is always watching you.

@farmerschneck @WheatPete Ya I’ve been there. I’m always surprised how well it comes back. Not to full yield but decent.
I have plots this year where I doubled my first pass N to see if it helps
