Fun weekend at the Nipawin Evergreen Curling club as the hosts of the @CURLSASK Viterra Last Chance Ladies Spiel. It was great to see the crowds in the stands and hear stories of the Autospiels and cash spiels we used to host here. Our club is great. Thanks to the organizers!

Thanks @SaskBarley for bringingBarleyBIN LIVE to our corner of the world last night. Really good presentations along with good craft beer and the always good venue of @damsmokedamgood made for a great evening.

7am and here it comes! Could be a rough start to the day!

Probably a few people scrambling off of Tobin Lake!!

I found these items in a drawer full of gems last night. A crop certificate issued to my Grandfather in 1936 for Grimm alfalfa seed. This seed production thing has been in our family for a while!! @Seedgrowers @SKalfalfa

Any tips on boom track settings for a 4045 Deere? Crops are thinner and system is not keeping up real well. I’ve played with response settings but that’s not helping. Running 13th.

It’s pretty hard to beat the looks of a solid oat field at weed spray time. These are CDC Arborg. Maybe oats will be the sleeper crop this year??🤷‍♂️

We put all new discs, scrapers and closing tines on our @BourgaultAg drill. Very few acres and here is the wear on the tines. Changed nothing from where the banders and tines were set up originally. Watched the videos but didn’t really get any answers. Any thoughts?

Just did my annual “is it too late to spray” trial. Had a patch by the yard with a brew of cleavers, white cockle and Canada thistle. 55 ac of express pro and glyphosate. Will see in the spring, but I predict I’ll see the line where I ran out. Bedtime for the sprayer now!

Combining just above Tobin Lake today and there’s the start of one of my favourite bits of sled and bike trail. I’ve ridden that trail for close to 50 yrs!!😳😳. But I’m not old!!!

When it’s 32 degrees and a chance of a thunderstorm and you have 1 of the few plots in western Canada of a new wheat variety you clean up the combine, switch concaves and go get it!! Life of a seed grower! @FPGenetics

I don’t even want to go to work tomorrow. Raccoon evidence in the seed cleaning plant and then top finish the day a damn raccoon chirping away in our Neco dryer!! What the hell is up with raccoons all of a sudden?? @TebbuttBlake gets to check the dryer tomorrow!!

A fine Saturday to catch up with a old friend, and get our @MadConcaves installed. Looking forward to seeing what these do for us in the field. Thanks Jeff from Bent Wrench!

Our AAC Profit Peas from @FPGenetics are looking great. Field inspection is complete on these. This heat has been a little tough on the blooms but the podding looks good so far. A drink soon for filling would be great. Yield and protein all in one package.

This is what the sky looks like at Nipawin, many miles from that storm. That might have some legs under it!!

How about that for a flax field? Our pedigreed CDC Rowland flax from @SeCan is looking great. Neither frost nor cutworms could slow this field down! Third year for Rowland on our farm, we really like this variety.

Will be an interesting drive after this one!

It’s a hail insurance kind of day!

A beauty of a Saturday evening. A great looking seed field of AAC Russell VB wheat, and a riders game on the radio. Lake would be nice but this is pretty good too!
