@ArtSchultheis We already have about 1100 acres in the ground. Rented an agpro to try it before buying one.

Already 2 fields down for the 2026 crop.

@ArtSchultheis It’s actually all contracted for aviation biofuel. There is a subsidiary company of Shell Corp trying to establish a market here in the Walla Walla valley.

Our Camelina is growing like crazy with the cool and wet weather lately. No complaints here.

@ArtSchultheis How does weed control work on this? What are your options and what kind of success do you see? What do you usually follow this crop with in your rotation?

@ArtSchultheis I believe I’ll be using their new 4112 model. What spacing are you running? Do you find it more difficult to set seed depth with individual rows having their own depth vs a Horsch that has more of a single point depth control?

@ArtSchultheis I’m renting an AgPro from Blake this fall to see how I like it. I have high hopes

Nice example of an uneven stand of winter canola. All different life stages from just emerging to bolting. We have a handful of fields that look like this where they randomly hit good moisture last fall. At least it’s all there I guess.

@ArtSchultheis @dustfrmer I love our challengers for the jobs that don’t need high horsepower. They are cheap to run and maintain as long as you keep the tracks aligned properly with the hills.

How much metal is too much on Challenger Reaction Arm magnets. All 4 of them have looked like this for two years in a row. Is there a way to know how close to failure the bearings are?

@dustfrmer We haven’t had that much metal in any of ours. Pulled the plug and drained one today. We run 2 years, about 1k hours on them & run Hydrotex’s special hytrax30wt oil in them

@wavesofgrain3 Good to know! Next year I’ll check them out.

Overhaul season for the combine. Also known as the time of year that my money disappears.

@dustfrmer Every season seems to have the same recurring issue lately

@logey_bear1 That’s only a certain season for you? 😂

A little bit of wheat starting to emerge in the first couple fields planted. Rain would sure be nice about now.

44 days of harvest and it’s finally time to celebrate!

All 3 of our winter canola fields are heading into bloom. Love seeing fields of yellow in the spring.

Got caught up on spraying and started on some of the winter wheat. Beautiful day to get something done! Fun fact: The Oregon Trail went across this flat branching off to the Fort Walla Walla Trading Post which was a division of the Hudson Bay Trading Co at the time

Overhaul is complete, it’s back together and ready for harvest. Just one less thing to worry about.

Picked up an exciting new toy today for the Holiday season.

@deep_seeder @Ford Who got the new one?

Pretty unimpressed @Ford Hooked '23 1 ton up and almost to the stops. Hooked '01 1 ton up for comparison and over 2" less travel at hitch.
