@BantrySeedFarms How many bushels does your combine do ? Why do we talk in acres ? Just curious

Ok. Honestly. How many acres do you run your combine on ? This is a serious question. No need of color bashing or anything like that. I’d like honest acres for one combine #Agtwitter

@buperac I would like to buy one too

Actually, I’ll print this about 6 feet wide by about 4 feet high and laminate it. If anyone else is interested in one too it should work out to about $100 including shipping. Lemme know.

Got this awesome map of all the Canadian prairie elevators and their capacity (in thousands of bushels) from 1923. What’s crazy is the top left corner has the prices and acres of the previous 15 years and in 1919 wheat was $2.51/bushel, with inflation that would be $42.51/bushel today (currently $7.73/bu) I’m going to print one for myself.

Last night Carney lied to Canadians. He doesn't want Canadians to know he moved his company headquarters out of Canada to Donald Trump's hometown.

@xtreme9530 Try Badger in Bon Accord . I got used tanks from them for the W-900.

Where does a guy to go to get the dual air tanks under the driver side on a T800 KW cheaper that doesn’t cost 3700 dollars to get ? Or just get a set made

@Mullin_95 Last nights lights

Post your favourite picture from #Harvest24 to win Idk a limited edition high five or I’ll tell you you’re doing a good job or something

@clintwfischer Well our capital gain tax here is at 66% . I’m not sure how we get an adjusted cost base without having to sell some to pay for it .

@clintwfischer Clint is there an allotment for estate taxes / capital gains?

Farm transition I'm helping with: Husband has the hard & fast mentality that: Son helps on the farm so he should get everything. Wife takes the approach of "let's be equal/fair" regarding $$ value. → 2 kids; one Son and one Daughter We're talking $15 million in land, equipment, & livestock going to the on-farm Son. And $500,000 in retirement & $500,000 in life insurance going to the off-farm Daughter. That $14 million imbalance is what the wife is concerned about. There's a solution that may make both H & W satisfied: 1) Property into a trust 2) Machinery & livestock left to on-farm Son 3) Retirement & life insurance left to off-farm Daughter 4) Trust grants right of first refusal (ROFR) to rent & ROFR + option to buy land at a discount to on-farm Son. Until both H & W pass away, all income goes to them. When either H or W passes away, the other spouse gets all income. When the last spouse passes away... -Son gets the machinery & livestock -Daughter gets the IRA & life insurance -Both are beneficiaries of the land income, but Son has ROFR & option protections to keep the farm going Instead of $15 million to Son and $1 million to Daughter, it's more evenly distributed with safeguards in place to keep the farm operation in the family & financially viable. Without prior planning, exactly zero of this would happen. In fact, the farm may be sold at auction to the highest bidder. So, it begs the question... Have you started tackling this succession, transition, estate issue?

@Goldendeefarms Say hi to Perry he does a great job cleaning.

@AllamFarmer Chris where did u pick up true electric clutch?

@stampgreg @AlbertaPulse @pulsecanada Greg did you tour the factory where they make the noodles for Loblaws ?

Last week I was in China representing @AlbertaPulse & @pulsecanada Goals of the trip was to: Sign a MOU with CFNA Reconnect with customers (China has been up to 90% of our market for peas), See if we can help them grow their business with our product, 1/2

@stinkynutss @ChristiFriesen Hope you had 4 wheels not 2 Greg .

@ChristiFriesen Well all the way to Salmon arm didn’t boost my confidence in drivers over all either hahahaha

Montana- hands down thee worst drivers I’ve ever witnessed

@zeefarmer @AllamFarmer #poor sap 14%

@AllamFarmer It sure would look different. And farm sizes would look totally different if the CWB monopoly was still around.

And I'll add that getting the absolute top price every year isn't #1 when farmers are marketing their grain. There are alot of other factors that come into play when we market & move grain (cash flow needs, prebuying inputs, moving grain in slow seasons or before roadbans, etc)

@6dollarwheatguy Tim you have to change you Twitter Handel to 10dollarwheatGuy

Some photos today of two different #wheat fields in Polk County Minnesota. Only 2.8 inches of rain since seeding. #crop23 #drought #AgTwitter

@AllamFarmer @Mullin_95 I see in the pic the tower to boot is a good angle . And no problem getting 300+ pounds fert to the towers ?

Backwards setup , but a good couple drills to be had here

@TyrallFinlayson Now if it was a hand pump . That would be nostalgic .

Main service truck broke down so we’re fuelling up like it’s 1994. #plant23

@CaryEyben Do you swath your Austenson ? We are trying some Esma and Sirish this year to get away from broken heads .

I haven’t tried anything but Austenson barley for years, so I’m trying one quarter of Esma this year. Hard to beat that Austenson

@AgriAppsLtd @780Agriculture @Averdave Thanks Graham for posting your work.

@780Agriculture @DafarmerF @Averdave Thank you for putting this to empirical testing. Farmers around Edmonton rarely wait for the soil to warm up to optimum. When the ground is dry they plant, most couldn’t even tell you the seed bed temps

I’m very happy to share that today I successfully defended my PhD thesis on #ultraearly wheat planting systems! The wheat in this picture was planted in Edmonton into 0C soil before the end of March.

@Kotyjo They can only own land if they have someone that will rent it .

So I have a AG question, does Saskatchewan have a law that no foreigner or billionaire investor can own more than say 100000 acres, just asking for a friend. I have a plan.
