@MoeChauvin This was 35 lbs/acre of rye disked in the summer before and left to winter along with volunteer wheat. Was a very dense mat. Our biggest issue was fertilizer since we aren't equipped for no till corn. Got lucky with rains to wash in our surface applied 28% with the sprayer.

@MoeChauvin If your planter is capable, strongly recommend planting right into it. Had a very similar "experiment" last year. Tried short disking it and was a mess. Very nervously decided to plant right into it and it yielded just as good as our conventional despite uneven emergence.

Missed my fall sprays and have a mess to plant #corn into this spring…if weather ever cooperates! What to do…what to do? Notill-RTS-i5200disk

If any European immigrant farmer needs the perfect Christmas gift to themself, this is it. Lanz Bulldog for sale for $19,500 CAD. I'm very proud of this restoration, simply hoping to invest the money elsewhere. DM me for more information. kijiji.ca/v-farming-equi…

Never seen so much steam come off our shivvers dryers before. Going to be a long drying season! At least it smells amazing round here.

@kyledecorte And too elaborate, earliest planted, DKC 49-09 small 7 acre field by a bush protected from those May frosts, extreme mid season drought, and extremely poor yield.

@kyledecorte Don't ask me for yield numbers tho..

Gonna be fun times this fall … 🤦‍♀️.

@kyledecorte We started something similar this season on Google drive, shared with the team so anyone can edit on any device.

Have a home made excel sheet I use for incoming loads to the dryer. A second page is for shipping dry loads, wanted a column that showed shrink loss to over drying. Hard part was I wanted it to zero at 15.5 and not have a value for loads shipped a bit over. Formula was a doozy.

Staying busy waiting for #corn25 to mature. Playing in the sand box with the new dumper🍑, @Dungannon_Dan let me know when loads come in under 25%

@MdMcLean1 That's funny, 20 minutes south and our area is still 3 years old. I wonder how they go about updating it.

@MdMcLean1 Funny story, I actually worked a 4 month co-op with Kenna who facilitates the rebates for BASF, my job was to audit the rebates going out to growers. I don't think I've ever related to a tweet more.

Bahahaha that is funny! And true! 🤣

A month and a half later, the thumb and coupler are finally installed and plumbed. I can't believe how handy the extra reach of the pro link thumb is, I'm not sure I could go back to a regular one. Definitely looking forward to all the spring cleanup jobs now!

Making good use of the nasty weather. Progressive link thumb and hydraulic quick coupler going on the new to me fence line cleaner.

@jervy33 @frayne_eugene Around 6:30am it started

@rickpot11 @frayne_eugene What time was that at? I was past Achims at 9:00am this morning

Not something you expect to see when you wake up for your morning coffee😳

@frayne_eugene Yep exactly. They don't have the best luck converting wind to power in that country block I guess lol.

@rickpot11 I should’ve recognized the one in the middle. It burned several years ago.
