And local knowledge as well. In my area just 30 miles west of me and in hills makes a difference. Even on my place I think I'm in year 12 of drought I'm doing things that I have never done before. Haha guess I will see in spring if bit works

There is a guy on utube called just a few acres and he has hundreds of videos. Hopefully you can find the ones that he is talking about profit and what to expect. I for see farmers markets and direct marketing of your beef and other stuff. In my area of Alberta what you are trying to do with...

My neighbors bought a John Deere chore tractor. Has made in America stickers on it but engine was made in India or Pakistan and I think all rest of parts are China. In Alberta they sell made in Canada squeeze chute. Whole thing is made in south America and sort of assembled here. Name Brand's...

My clothes i buy at ufa or peaveymart come from Bangladesh or maybe Vietnam. Canada has so many environmental laws,taxes and regulations we dont make anything anymore. I got a Brownells catalogue and was going to buy a lot of cool stuff. Brownell's is out of Iowa. American government wants me...

Years ago if u tagged some people would make fun of you. Call you ear ear tag outfit. Idea being you should know all your 200 some black cows without needing a number. I started tagging when traceability kicked in after b.s.e. I think you gain when you sell pairs. Buyers know they are a real...

I used to guide hunters. I'm not sure if I like industry or not. Accessing good land to go hunting is basically impossible if your from town and don't have deep pockets. I'm talking about southern Alberta. Basically no rifle ranges and so much hassle and expense. If a young person from town...

Trucking rates are through the roof. $5 a kilometer or fifty dollars a short ton. Then MT super b loads have to be lighter again because of their weight laws. Then exchange on dollar. Facebook is just full of scammers. Feels like everybody is in a panic. I guess this years of drought is...

To bad they can't tell if its good water or not

I'm feeding cows right now. No pasture

L.A. Lower Alberta About two hours north of Montana. I suspect there won't be any straw either. I see guys doing wheat straw up in small square's because not enough there for big round baler. A lot of hay was drone in small square's as well for same reason and I see them advertised for ten...

Drought has been going for years in my area . ive done ditches and slews that I dont think have ever been done because previously to wet. This year there really is nothing. All dried up. Don't really have hardly any cows left and I'm going to have to buy feed for them I'm holding off buying hay...

Wow thats deep! In my area you have to case off the crappy ground water for first hundred feet or so and you have to go 300 to 400 feet to either hit good usable water or have a dry $70,000 hole. Very risky because easy more likely to be dry. More and more hauling water from community wells...

Actually if linkage was out of adjustment then you would think it would do it all the time? If its not a micro switch that trips it to bale whatever does trip it would have to be whats doing it intermittently???

I can't really remember the ins and outs of these balers anymore but I think Silver is right. Sounds like it has to be linkage adjustment or faulty valve. What I do remember about 535s were they had a nice price. New balers are stupid expensive now. The roller bearings were awful to replace. I...

535s if I'm remembering right had micro switch to initiate tie process but you also have a mechanical rope pull mechanical secondary mechanism that you could use. Example to tie a core bale when field was finished. I'm going from from memory. These balers used to be everywhere but old enough you...

Ive got a new Holland baler now but I used to be great at fixing those 535s but honestly I dont really remember. Was years ago and fixed a lot of other stuff since then. I do remember if I drove to fast or if it was to bumpy the bumps would trip some of the micro switches . Could this be what's...

Micro switches are easy to test with multi meter. Has to be u tube videos to show you. I never had micro switch problems with my 535. But that was years ago. Those 535s used to be everywhere but I dont see them hardly anymore.

So what exactly is it doing?

Would your local municipal government have a ag man that would help you?

You know im not seeing hawks or gophers this year. There are some but nothing like before. I'm wondering if to dry for therm? We have been in a drought so long now I can't remember how long its been. Guessing 13 years? Wife is thinking about getting a few turkeys for fun of it I guess . if they...
