Just a warning for South AB Farmers; We are suing LA Grain out of Wilson Siding. I’d always heard terrible things about that operation but now we are paying for not heeding the warnings. The most awful operation of worms I’ve come across. Jason and Ken Getty are crooked.

@yachtclubmatty @farmerjim79 that 300 tablet is a better computer than the 5000 dollar monitor. it is a racket. is this about seedhawk or BG? we ran BIC this year and it was the best rollout of new tech i’ve ever experienced

@farmerjim79 7 figure piece of equipment run off of a $299 tablet and a $24 Amazon Ethernet adapter seems pretty low effort, and the complaints seem to justify that. The Bourgault harness is big enough to use as a tow strap some days, but yet to have a problem with it.

Pretty interesting seeing the issues on 3 different drill FB pages

@agtradertalk lost sunglasses are an underrated part of the yearly seeding/planting budget

Death, taxes, me forgetting where I left my Raybans during planting

@LowBoomLowDrift @Plantmore1 @nozzle_guy @charlesmgeddes adam voss is experienced but he is not smart. hope that helps.

@Plantmore1 @nozzle_guy @charlesmgeddes Agree with Brent. Had another agronomist that has a lot of experience quote my tweet and say low water rates and bad coverage was causing resistance. This is a misconception?

New 160 foot delivery at Milden Sask. Nozzle testing 60 psi with 30-40 kmh wind.

@voss_ag this is not how glyphosate resistance was caused. this is straight misinformation

Started my agronomy career in Southern Alberta dryland. Common practice was to spray gly at 3-5 USG and stretch rates. Guys swore by it. Covered big acres, everything got killed and it saved a couple trips with the water truck. But, some of us were pushing back, telling them they needed more water. Then in 2011, gly-resistant kochia was found. I could take you out to the exact field. It’s been a beast since. The 10 USG is there for a reason. For the average operation, it has been found to work best. When everything else is dialled in and conditions are ideal, low volumes can work, but part of the reason that pesticide resistance is an issue is that those critical pieces of information get lost in the “what works for me” telephone game. I’m not an equipment expert, but when I get called cause the chem isn’t working, sometimes it’s due to poor nozzle/volume/speed combos on the machine. A couple customers have these machines, and they are super impressive, but as an agronomist, this low water volume talk, without the necessary provisions, makes me anxious. If the claim is that this specific machine can do a great job at high wind and low water, make that claim with your whole chest, but be specific. We’ve been down the path of “my neighbor can get away with only spraying 5 gallons so I can too” and it’s gotten us Group 2,4,9,14 resistant weeds.

@LowBoomLowDrift i’m all for a winter canola here but it can’t be flowering in may

@jon_kff Ya. Curious how it works out.

👀

this account is unintentionally becoming one of the funniest on this website

All they have to do is claim that even one load is below grade and bang, get rid of the whole contract since the market dropped so much! Anyone who does business with this company should really watch out because they are straight up crooks.

Admittedly these lawyers have zero experience dealing with grain disputes. Does anyone have any recommendations for different counsel? It seems insane that simple language like this can get them out of contracts they don’t want to pay!

Update on my dispute with LA Grain. The lawyers claim that because of a clause in their contract, highlighted in the picture, gives them the right to cancel the contract if any load was below grade. To me this clause means any one specific load.

@farms_monette bruh

Spring is in the air… Let’s roll out.

@ISU145 the evil people that actually do want the war continue don’t care about market pricing. they’re just evil idiots. they’re called republicans for the most part

@ISU145 who are these people you speak of then. they don’t seem to exist unless you are considering people who are bullish because they are realistic about the situation as hoping ‘the war continues so prices go higher’.

Wanna know when you're wrong, AgTwitterVerse? You're wrong when you wish on another person or peoples evil or ill will. Right now there are alot of people wanting the Iran War to continue so prices go higher. Which means innocent people, specifically women and children, will die. That is evil. You can trade or sell into a scenario but don't wish ill or evil on others.

@ISU145 didn’t have to listen to it, market seems to have. just think it’s funny to wax poetic about people being evil for being realistic about how stupid your president is.

@jon_kff Didn't listen to it. But you seem eager to fill me in.

@ISU145 so what about that address captain corn

@ISU145 don’t see anyone wishing this continues but most are realistic that the president is a lying piece of shit that has caused a major problem that is not easily put back in a box and believing any statements he makes regarding a ceasefire is for only the deeply stupid

@JLinvilleFert @Schindler_Farms legality is not what has stopped guys from removing it in the past. cost and the manufacturer warranty rules are the road blocks and those aren’t changing regardless.

@Schindler_Farms I am not sure. I keep hoping to see statements from the government that says all DEF stuff can be legally removed.

If true, this could be a short-term win for farmers in terms of nitrogen. Removing this should put a lot of nitrogen back into the hands of farmers to grow crops. Maybe we will have a gov't farm payment announcement coming soon which would hit my immediate impact approach!

@rodgrisier1958 how stupid are you really bud

Trump's letting them choke a little

@creoletankie @Hezbolsonaro true but fort saskatchewan is about 4 hours drive from where it actually does start to look to like that

@Hezbolsonaro Apparently the title is in reference to Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.

It doesn’t fucking look like that

@bullishboiler this is not true lmao
