Scale says I can still fit 30 mt in there

@rpbrunel @Smithfamilyseed @lmasse729 I have a Deere 12row 20 “ chopping head Used it for 7 years has lots of life left in it. Good entry level head.

@Smithfamilyseed @lmasse729 I have a basic entry level one.

20” corn head for sale, single point Jd. Thinking 12r. Anything out there decent?

@AgronomyChad @ennsbros @davejdives Same seeding tool just a cart upgrade

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives Have they addressed the issue of the front rows being covered up by the second row when planting in mellow soil conditions?

We had a chance to run the new JD electric drive cart this week. Big step ahead in technology!! ⁦@ennsbros⁩ ⁦@davejdives⁩ #seed24

@oatsgrower @ennsbros @davejdives Yes all stainless

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives What are the tank sizes for the 550? Also were the meter housings all stainless?

@oatsgrower @ennsbros @davejdives 190 50 90 220

@o2farms_sk @ennsbros @davejdives Depends if you sold last fall or not!!

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives How much canola to pay for this?

@loopholefarms @ennsbros @davejdives Yes for levelling the small tank. Doesn’t look like a place you want to enter!!

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives What’s the big golf club for?

@wheatiepete @ennsbros @davejdives I guess that is hand and hand!!

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives If it's electric is it green?

@KeenanSmith20 @ennsbros @davejdives The meter change is a game changer for sure and stainless steel for the start!!

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives Bout time they upgraded their metering system. Been the same since the 80’s

@Plantmore1 @ennsbros @davejdives We were happy with it We have C850. The scales work way better less bouncing in the read outs.

@RickRutherford1 @ennsbros @davejdives Worked good ?

First official meeting in the new shop today, discussing winter survivability of this year’s fall rye and winter wheat crops. Big thanks to @FPGenetics @TheScoularCo @kwscanada @ducanada for coming out to present to our growers. The rye crop is hanging in there!

Our KWS Sales team is at @RutherfordFarms in Manitoba today with @yannick_prg, diving deep into Hybrid Rye Winter Survival information and what to look for this spring. Curious to learn more? Reach out to us today! #KWS #HybridRye #WinterSurvival

Thanks @EMILICanada for letting me be apart of your #ThisIsAgriculture article!

@brentonbelos Some tech they are testing on the farm that might not be that far away!

@RickRutherford1 It would be cool if it could VR based on insect pressure.

Drone spraying, insecticide on none GMO corn . As Canadian agriculture falls behind the world again! #redtap #southofequator

Happy #cndagday

@courtseeds @RonKrahn We have had to train all our people. I came down to if your paying into WCB you have to be Trained. And actually if you put pallet Forks on a front end loaded it classifies as a fork lift. Had a claim with WCB this summer regarding forks on a loader!

@RonKrahn I believe only a licensed facility needs to have certified operators. This would include seed treaters, agchem dealers, etc. Farmers are exempt.

#agtwitter. Anyone know if formal forklift training is required in MB to operate a forklift on farm?
