    Guess I Stirred The Pot

    NR I wish you luck. I think your gov'ts in Sask. tend to be somewhat similar to what we have in Ontario now. Little while back we asked our Lib. Minister of Agriculture for help in strengthening trespassing laws here, in part so that we could control who was and wasn't hunting on our lands. We...

    cull prices?

    We shipped two Tuesday, got 38 cents for one and 51 for the other (Holsteins). Course that was before any of the buyers knew Gencor was bankrupt, most of them were planning on reshipping them up there on the next load they could get them on.

    When a neighbor goes behind your back is it just business?

    If you have a written agreement, fine. If you're working year to year on a handshake, it's ALWAYS open to somebody else to put their bid in.

    High Corn Prices Coming

    Don't forget those same freezing temps mean a whole lot of wheat acres are going to have to switch to something else, probably a lot of corn.

    THE CHORE I HATE THE WORST

    Jeez you all need to get some cows to milk. Nothing beats fixing a broken stable cleaner chain in the return corner with a flooded gutter when it's -40 out and the wind's howling in the return right on your hands which are under "water" that's quickly freezing and it takes you 20 minutes in...

    Feeding oat straw . . .

    MLA, given how little wheat got in, and how little small grain is going to go in this spring if corn prices hold, it might end up being worth more as bedding than feed if you can buy it for the right price now. Already hearing dairy guys who buy all their bedding that are budgeting double for...

    Gentlemen . . . start your engines . . .

    There's more and more grazing going on, but not a lot of large parcels. Most of the rental land is in 30-40 acre parcels with nothing else close by and a lot of fencing needing to be done. Have a friend who has about 140 pairs grazing on mostly rented land but he has them spread over at least 10...

    Gentlemen . . . start your engines . . .

    MLA the average on the land we rent this year will be about $34, that's up from last year because we just took on another 70 at $40. Our 5 year average yield is 118 bushels. Our rent varies from 0 to $50. I would say high 30s is probably average for the area. Not a lot of demand in the area...

    MLA we booked our urea 2 weeks ago at $440, by the end of that week it was at $500. They've been told $700 for April bookings by their supplier

    Nitrogen

    We bought a bunch of urea last week for $440 Canadian that our dealer had booked at a good price and offered to his best customers first. Anything he didn't have booked is already at $500.

    To clone, or not ot clone, that IS the question!

    Go for it. If being natural is the standard, almost nothing we do is natural, from wearing clothes to sleeping in a house to cutting our hair.

    Land Value

    Land here is going for about $1200/acre, should be able to run a pair on 2.5-3 acres. A bit further north you can get down under $1000 but it's hard to get much land together in an area, a lot of the original 100 acre farms were split into 50s 150 years ago and a lot of them only had half of the...

    Canada trumps US on timber property rights

    Yep, Canadian forestry is so well-managed that the US industry has to use that as an excuse to put big tariffs on Canadian lumber and throw thousands of Canadian workers out of work so the US industry can compete.
