Took a few minutes to check out the wheatlings. With the violent storms we've had, I was pleased to find it chugging along. Very weedy, and some drowned low spots.
An awesome catch of red clover underneath. – at Parkland County, Alberta

Today, I spent a mind bending afternoon with Farming Forward and Regenerative Alberta Living Lab for an in depth dive into the soil on this farm. From soil samples to multi layered digital maps, plotting soil carbon levels, total soil nitrogen amounts and colour coded soil charts

After this morning's rain, getting on with subsoiling the oat field. 15" loosening up the soil. Its dry all the way down.

Come on CNH!
$50.51(CND) for a bit of black plastic? I did get them for less, because of a very gracious dealer, but still were over $35.
Anyone 3D print these?
I could almost pay for a printer and resin at these prices!

The old TR85 is getting a tire upgrade, tomorrow. Still has the originals from 1982. The used replacements are radials.

Question for Ag X hivemind:
Have a 14ft concrete floor grain bin. Wanting to build an aeration system for it. Have a 3hp Grain Guard fan. Plan to strip side screens of a salvage MC dryer. Would make an easy 8×8 box on floor. Will it be enough? Thoughts?

Finally got the organic oats swathed. A bit surprised it turned itself around, given its shaky start.
Question for those with more experience than me. Morgan oats. Is the stalks staying green unique to this variety? Heads are pretty much hard and ripe, but green from the head down?
In an organic system.
I was worried about my organic oats, earlier this summer, since oddly we haven't had the rain other nearby areas have had. But they seem to be coming along. Bit late, maybe, but staying alive.

Sometimes online auctions surprise you. Yes, it's old, but so is my TR85. But $26 hardly makes it into a capital expenditure...

Question from a mechanically impaired farmer...
What does the hose from the air filter canister to the exhaust system do? Suction or pressure?
Draw dust into exhaust and expell it?
Found hose perished, can I safely move tractor home?

Any ag followers have any suggestions how to keep cage style rollers from packing up if the ground is damp? Just a touch of yellow clay and it just starts piling it in, on, and around.
