And yet, Rob, here you are "looking" for him. Pouring rain here again, today, I guess I'll get lunch and a "show" again today. I'm worried that Randy has committed sideways, we haven't heard from him yet today. Then again, where's SH. Think they "made up" and went shopping together? Left...

I see Miss Tam is well on her way to straightening you out Luke. Just wait until SH finds you. We'll get Mike to do the commentary on the "show." Hope you got stamina. Have a good day all!

You're a sassy one Haymaker! I adore you. Have a good day all!

Thanks for the info Kato and sure nice to meet you John in Ontario. Raining like crazy here today. It won't go down for a week yet but I can just hear those little guys growing an extra inch out there with a timely drink. I sure hope for 6 weeks of re-growth before frost John, around here we...

Sandhusker. It is no longer acceptable to give opinions on this board. If you cannot back them up with facts, keep them to yourself. This board is for debate, not offering opinions and such. I'm ashamed of you! Look at me!!! I can cut and paste and have SH to thank for that. But I won't...

Thanks SH for an honest answer to a very real concern of mine, that doesn't involve a pile of numbers and reasoning! I'll leave you alone for awhile! Have a good day all!

I don't have my bill sitting in front of me but I'm thinking I pay around $12-$15 and acre to cut, $3? maybe to flip it once and $10 a bale to bale it. The custom picker charges $2 a bale to pick it up off the field and put in my yard. Works out to a little less than $18-$20 a bale in...

That's nice news to hear Jason. My stand is 4 years old and I cringe at just how many times I've heard that alfalfa is only good for about 5 before you have to re-seed it. I'm in Olds, AB and what I've sort of concluded is that land prices are outrageous, so guys feel they have to work the...

Looking forward to sharing more ideas, laughs and common ground with you Red! Have a good night all!

I think that the approach that people take on this forum is largely a matter of how their responses affect certain readers. I have found Kathy or Tam to be quite tactful and deserving of all respect in their posts. Why should they not respond in kind after suffering constant juvenile attacks...

What a beautiful story Red Barn! And I mean that absolutly sincerely. I will admit that haveing known very many wealthy and independant people in my life there are few I have found that are as genuinly happy as some farmers ( the ones that don't gripe non-stop about all the things they feel...

Really appreciate that advice guys. I'm thinking that within the next week I'll put the pressure on my hay guy to get going on it. Seems all the timothy guys are just going crazy right now with the conditions just about perfect for that export market. Might be tough to get my hay cut if no...

If you have money, you can do a lot more of what you love than what you don't. Have a good day all!

I would value the opinion of any of you who have it and are willing to hand it out. At exactly at what time of year and/or the growth stage of alfalfa plants is your opinion on when they are the most vulnerable to being cut that would risk the death of the plants themselves? Put another...

Absolutly, you must work for yourself and I believe land will usually take care of your retirement if you don't lose on loseing cows in the meantime and Denny that was just hilarious and made my whole day that drinking beer from a funnel comment...thanks! And yes I know that was a real good...
