Just when you think the guy couldn't get any worse. So much for 'small government'. Who the hell voted for this guy.
Trump: "We are working on beef. I think we have a deal on beef that's gonna bring the price of beef. That would be the one product that we would say is a little bit higher than we'd want it. Maybe higher than we want it. And that's gonna be coming down pretty soon too. We did something, we worked our magic."

Alberta Premier is gunna end up costing the Conservatives the election. Single-handedly undermining the campaign by saying Pierre is "in sync" with the new direction in America (yikes). Someone get her away from the microphones/cameras.
Canada- 🚨 Danielle Smith and her Breitbart interview just LOST Poilieve the election. She confirms amongst her MAGA friends that Pierre is “Very much in synch with everything the Trump administration is doing.” Canadians agree. Poilieve is done. And so is she. #cdnpoli

Another trial we've been doing is bale grazing on annual cropping ground. 2nd year trying to get this to work. Lots of people do it on pastures/perennials, but dont know of anyone who does on crop ground. Lots of things learned the past two years from this experiment 1/2

Goal is to get cows out of feedlot & exercising & pooping in field to lower manure spreading costs and increase feeding intervals. Gotta use legume bales (alfalfa) b/c grass bales leave too much waste. Use 1/2 ring feeders ⬆️ feed utilization. In spring, harrow & 🔥excess residue

Did something a little risky the other day. Interseeded Red Clover & Berseem Clover into standing wheat 2 days after herbicides. Goal is to take for post-harvest hay or grazing. Was afraid the wheat would be stunted from tires, but it bounced back well. Off to a good start.

This is a small ~5 acre trial to see if the timing will work. I think post-herb would work best to not rob yield. Tried seeding post-harvest last year, but didnt think the fall growth was sufficient. Also tried seeding when wheat was heading out, but trampling was too severe.

Road trip out to Shellmouth today and got a tour of Nerbas Bros Angus's ranch. Cows were hard at work bale grazing & stockpiled forage. Every purebred operation should run their herds as hard as the commercial guys. Came home with my wallet feeling a little light... #BullPurchase
It’s that time of year! Sale bulls for 2020 are ready for viewing and selection at anytime. We continue to sell private treaty on a first come basis. Give us a call or message us for more info!

Sold the last of the wheat straw bales today. These ones are headed out towards Steinbach. Made an extra 250 to help out with the feed shortage. Cant let any mama cows go without feed/bedding, even if they arent my own!

Good discussion on growing peaola.
Has anyone tried some peaola acres in the past or thinking of trying it next year? Results and comments appreciate!
A good thought-provoking article on genetic selection of cattle. Selecting cattle that will thrive in your environment will pay dividends... far more than cows that wean big calves. canadiancattlemen.ca/2019/10…

This right here just shows the importance of maintaining public plant breeding, rather than introducing a royalty system to incentivize private companies to replace public breeding efforts.

"The other piece that it does show is the need to make sure that we keep the public program strong because if things aren’t working out they (seed companies) can pack up and leave..... we want to make sure the crops farmers rely on, we have a fall-back for them.”
Unpopular Opinion: An auction system for crown land leases will NOT benefit young farmers. How can young farmers with mortgages on cattle, land, & equipment out-bid all the well-established producers? Or the new competition from out-of-province producers?

The reduction in the length of the leases does far more to help young farmers than the auction system. An auction might be the most transparent and "fair", but lets not sugar coat it by claiming the introduction of the auction system "helps young farmers".

The FPTP electoral system has always been flawed (including when it greatly favored the conservatives in 2008 & 2011). I'm just glad people are finally coming to their senses (unfortunately took 2 lib govs to realize?). Electoral reform in the new conservative platform perhaps???
So the cons win the pop vote by 2%. The greens have same number of votes as the bloc but 1/10 the seats. Jt wins 24 seats in Toronto by slim margins and rules the roost. The system is broken.
It aggrivates me when farmers do this. If you spray out ditches, Mother Nature will find a way to fill them back up - and it wont be with the 'easy-to-control' species!
Herbicide Pro tip: Don’t hang the boom in the ditch unless you plan on growing something there!
Ever wonder why corn & flax do poorly after canola? Its because of these guys right here. A lack of mycorrhizal fungi can lead to reduced early season soil-P availability. farmprogress.com/soil-health…

Canola emerged and decided it didnt like the dry, freezing, insect-ridden conditions. Pulling out the airseeder for #plant19 2.0
