@Byron20670550 9’ wide. Upgraded to a heavier gearbox and slip clutch. So I’d just be sure to build it heavy. It tends to bounce a bit when running, maybe could spin it a little slower to help. Works well for the amount we use it

Homemade compost turner seems to be working pretty good. Just added the water feature.

@AllamFarmer We auger 13mt of urea into 10,000gal water over an hour and circulate for an extra hour with 3” pump. Odd prill left but no issues. Helps to start with warm water but not necessary. Had 5000gal store overwinter too no issue

Sustainability: A Regenerative Farmer’s Perspective https://t.co/5wXH65vCC5 via @wordpressdotcom

Here’s a great article that addresses the wide range of what sustainability could mean in agriculture.

[Prairie Serf @PrairieSerf]

This month the Prairie Serf talks sustainability.
" When contrasting the perspectives of a producer (i.e. farmer) and a consumer, it is probably the least romantic aspect of agriculture that is responsible for the largest gap in perspective — economics." @thilderman8 @iceman9520

Interesting piece of Canadian farming history that I wasn’t aware of

@wonderingwunder Not yet, making a lot of assumptions at this point based upon process. Will when we have more time

Prototype #1 of our compost tea brewer. Making 2000 gallons a day to put down in furrow. Crude but seems effective to try to prove concept

@wonderingwunder Sump pump in tank with hose going up

This is an interesting article.

Our perennial cow chow mix is looking pretty good. Monster turnips!

[Lisa Smith @LisaSeedlings]

Had an interesting conversation about Safflower today. Any followers growing safflower? Any of you used to grow it? When was the last time you grew it? Why did you stop? @thilderman8

[Trent @thilderman8]

@colincameron49 @AggiesTwice That’ll be the plan if we go larger scale with it. Will set up a boiler system. However btu demand is pretty large so may get expensive fast.

[Trent @thilderman8]

First time melting urea. Seems to be working pretty good. Excited about the possibilities

[Trent @thilderman8]

@farmercurtis1 Mixing this with herbicide and spraying on. Won’t burn the leaves like UAN.

[Trent @thilderman8]

@farmerBuhler @landon707 Have you tested how long it will stay in solution for?

[Trent @thilderman8]

@landon707 @farmerBuhler Dissolved 1 T in 1000 gal to get 100 ac at 10lbs N if math is right. Want to try doubling concentration and then cutting with water when spraying.
