The MB Highway intersections at 1&5, 1&16, and 1&13 are becoming more dangerous everyday. The Carberry bus accident was a terrible tragedy. The Stars helicopters have been to all these intersections too many times.

We know the government cant afford overpasses, so lets build "Kinews Curves"

Australian sized traffic circles, where through traffic can maintain reasonable highways speeds of 80kmh.

Merging and cross traffic can enter and exit safely.

Large farm equipment, long and oversize trucks can safely enter and cross.

Lack of safe semi truck parking can be rectified with rest stops in the middle and built at least 500 meters across.

If an overpass was to be built in future, the detours are already in place.

You will take some heat for this @WabKinew , but like Duffs Ditch, the people who are protected will come to realize Kinews Curves are a good idea.

What do you say @MBGovRoads @MBGov @kamblight @TruckingMB @KAP_Manitoba @AMMManitoba @CAAManitoba

Can we fast track a plan to save lives during our lifetimes, or increase funding to @STARSambulance

Even with 99% Slippage, you still have 1% Traction.

This should not apply to the planter tractor 🚜 #plant26

Two wheels for the win. Laugh every time I see someone dragging a 4 wheel spinner across cobblestones. But it takes a lot of work to find quality 2 wheels these days.

[Rory Tyer @RoryTyer]

I used to travel a lot internationally for work. My suitcase non-negotiables:

- soft shell, not hard. Way more resilient. Anything fragile can be buried in clothes
- 2 recessed wheels, not 4 exposed. Way less likely to break
- no electronics
- two outside pockets (1 small to quickly stash phone / wallet for security line, 1 bigger for random other things)
- 1 large inner section on the opening side for dirty clothes if I don’t wash on the trip
- beefy handles on both top and side
- expandable zipper for when I want to check; carry-on sized when not expanded
- always travel with a simple backpack that fits under the seat in front of you if necessary
- keep duplicate charging & laptop power cords in backpack, never take out between trips

Fancy / hardshell full rollers just don’t hold up long term.

Over 10 lbs of dirt in that filter !

320 acres of planting. It does more good to knock it out on the ground vs blowing it out!

[Dwayne Leslie @webfarmer]

@landon707 I keep meaning to weigh them before and after…

Wab may love Canada. But this wasn’t about Canada.

This was about Wab promoting himself with a carefully scripted legal attempt to interpret indigenous “consultation” as a de facto veto power over Alberta’s referendum laws.

Anyone asking why a third of Canada’s most successful economy wants to leave Canada only needs to watch this smirky legal freelancing by a couple debt-addicted NDP premiers who have lost control of simple things like property rights in BC.

Direct democracy is less scary to most Albertans than the NDP “interpreting” our laws.

Help.
BG 3820 with 9650 cart X35 Monitor blows the fuse of the SOL 30 amp power wire to the ECU’s. Changed the fuse and did another round and it blew again mid run. The whole harness is tight like new.

Gemini says…. Method 1: Turn off the Headland/End-of-Row Warning specifically
If you are using headland patterns or have a specific end-of-row boundary alert set up, you can disable it through your guidance settings without losing your other critical system alerts:
1. From the Precision-IQ home screen, tap on Settings.
2. Select Guidance (or Autopilot / EZ-Pilot depending on your steering system setup).
3. Look for Headland Alerts, End of Row Warning, or NextSwath Alerts.
4. You will see a toggle or a checkbox to Enable/Disable the audio alert, or an option to change the distance/time threshold. Toggle it to Off.
(Note: If you still want the visual warning on the screen but just want the sound gone, change the alert type from "Audio & Visual" to "Visual Only" if your current firmware version supports the split).

A perfect summary of why governments need to keep their hands off farmland, or any business that is handed down through succession. Families are only the current custodians of the asset.

While land values continue to skyrocket, there is a disconnect to the net revenue potential of that asset that is unheard of in any other industry.

To pay a tax regardless of revenue or profit is a recipe for disaster , and the entitlement that politicians at all levels have with no understanding of how money is earned is truly disheartening.

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

HORSCH RO G 500 is an autonomous, self-propelled seeder designed for large-scale precision farming. It stands out with a 24–36 m working width, a 12,000 L seed bunker, and full autonomy, allowing operation without a tractor.

@CorbinSchuster That’s been the UK experience. It has become a status symbol that if your kid isn’t bright, it has to be a disability with the corresponding govt assistance coming to you.
