I had a visitor in the milking parlour this morning!

@bigyahu1 Breeding age Holsteins selling for $2.50lb here…… I suspect they are going to feed yard to get fat.

How many bred heifers are gonna flood the market in the next year?

You all can go camping in the rain and cold this long weekend. I’ll just be here enjoying the clank of the headlockers and the sound of the rain on the tin roof. PS new seed grass is enjoying the rain too!!

If cattle were people.8million head feedlot,52million # of feedhauled in a day,2.8million#of solids a day,waste water discharge into waterways,water use of 118gallons a day,150sq ft of green space per head-stay in side 23hrs,21 minutes a day by choice Welcome to New York City!

@BaumanFb You need tramlines

Sprayers just don’t look as good with skinny tires…maybe we should plant 60” twin row corn and keep the floaters on all season

@Tyco52864077 $100 / acre for plowing and $95 for power harrowing

@CanadianCowMan What does he charge for the plowing and harrowing?

Just received a bill from 1 of my custom farming guys….. fuel surcharge equal to $30/ acre.

@jzantinge2 Yes

@CanadianCowMan you live on the left coast/ Yes?

@DeanPat57613010 At double last springs price

@DeanPat57613010 Moldboard plowing and power harrowing

@DeanPat57613010 Almost $1600 divided by 55 acres.

@CanadianCowMan You mean $3.00 per acre…..right ?

@jasontkachuk @Andrew_Dalgarno Moldboard plowing and power harrowing….. farm diesel is double the price of last spring here.

@CanadianCowMan @Andrew_Dalgarno My most fuel intensive operation is under ten dollars an acre even at today's prices.. what the hell is going on that it's 30 extra?

A great way to end a week!!! All 4 of us in the same field!!

@KellyCreekDairy Sorry to hear that….

Change hurts sometimes. Those of you going through succession planning, get your stuff clearly written and implemented, including a written transition plan that is specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time bound. #onwards

@steveconaway1 Oh.. it’s happening… drier then a popcorn fart here in south west BC

Anybody know when this highly predicted “El Nino” is actually supposed to happen? Hard to see numerous different high percentages of rain and high rainfall modeling maps evaporate into nothing… May or may not be asking for a friend…

@PurpleGrove Dry hay.

@CanadianCowMan Dry hay or wrap it?

1st week of May and my neighbours making hay!! Amazing how warm and dry we suddenly are!!

@SophiaEcoGal We need to do tillage here…. We have too much rainfall over the winter months. Notill has been tried many times with no success.

@CanadianCowMan Erasing sins or creating new ones? 🌱 I get the appeal of a fresh start, but keeping soil structure intact locks in carbon for the long haul.

Yes I am a proud member of the #moldboardmafia ..erasing “sins” of years gone by and starting fresh with a clean slate!!

@VernonQuaal Not very many.

@CanadianCowMan So no rocks there at all.

@Joshua10540 Silage corn

@CanadianCowMan What crop will you be planting?
