@heggie17 Looks sweet!

@FlatlandHops wind is the worst at this time of year, hope the trellis holds up and a few plants only come down.

@Hr_annar We will be visiting the last week of October, crops would be all wrapped up than?

[Justin Shepherd @saskhops]

@EarthstrongCAN @_StaySharpe Sharpe's has hooked us up with Fleksy and MoNi for improving flowering and cone set in our hops. Will be applying this weekend when putting on fungicide.

@FlatlandHops Safe harvest! Hope it goes well

@Joe_Widdup I’ve had to order all my stuff online from various sites, out of stock whether it’s their website or 3rd party is a common frustration for me. System is easy to learn to use tho

@FlatlandHops Looks good!

@Redwards40 We use hemp mats with a slit in them around newly planted trees. does a decent job on weeds and holds moisture.

[Justin Shepherd @saskhops]

Beautiful day for spreading fertilizer, hops are in the fastest part of vertical growth.

[Justin Shepherd @saskhops]

@Redwards40 Most RMs have pull type tree planters they let you use. Likely need to run a cultivator shovel or two ahead to make sure planter moves dirt ok. We ran a tiller with outside shanks off so it just did about 12” wide of black dirt to go into.

@Townendhopfarm what do you add in with your hops? straw?

[Justin Shepherd @saskhops]

@FlatlandHops It comes in quick! Did you put a pre-emerg down?

We are excited to share another local producer & supporter of homebrewers!

@TRFyeomanfarmer That’s neat. What’s the pellet material made of?

[Justin Shepherd @saskhops]

@GraemeNichols Very cool. Is there a limit of coaches on an nhl bench during game? If so does it mean they don’t have a full complement all the time or someone isn’t able to be on bench for games?

@olblue81 @smarchibald What’s a pto generator cost?

[Justin Shepherd @saskhops]

@loopholefarms @de_bfc That’s a nice unit, makes sense
