I'm glad you can articulate those thoughts so well Robin. I have many of the same views but can't put them into a coherent train of thought. The usda really annoys me .....😡
Finished up our 2024 harvest yesterday, now onto the bosses son’s barely… that’s still green. Starting to turn now but it’s lookin far out still. We’re down here in central Alberta. Our 70ac of canola ran 35bu, peas about the same. Hard red wheat ran 38, soft white did 45(was on our best ground). That heat really hit hard, our corn looks like crap as well. Most of second cut hay is just hitting it to have a fresh start in the spring. Won’t make barely any bales. Enjoy seeing videos from another Albertan.
@@millionairefarmer. ohhh ya it was one of those it looks like a hell of a crop from the road. But once it’s in the bin it did not fair so well. Insurance will be topping us off too average. So will help cover costs. Honestly haven’t checked for sprouted in ours. But haven’t heard of it around here yet. Our is on the bigger seed size thought. Big difference from 22 and 23 crops. Lost some canola do to some operator miss communications. Had the kids running our Massey 8680 dropping straw and the cylinder speed slowly climbs in her. So by the time I’d thought to ensure they knew, they’d done 20ac. Cylinder was maxed out just crushing seeds. I was wondering how they were passing me in the 9860sts lol. It sucks but lessons learned, kids also get a pretty good talking to about watching things from their grandpa/boss.
@@millionairefarmer. I’m not worried. Greenfeed is about done, close to 900 bales on 140 acres. Barley was only running 5 bales an acre. 90 acres of oats to straight cut once the weather is nice again. We’ll wrap up quick without much for breakdowns.
The farmers HIGH... Good deal Robin yer all done harvesting... Hook somewhat closer?? to the skid?? will pull up slightly and not drag topsoil dirt.. Must have had good rains... Built 2 bigger bins and storage maxed... our canola also surprising running pretty good.. For swath size... About time at the returns/truckload ya need yield... Now I know how Europe can grow most times big yielding crops..Rains/Inputs match and Maybe... Better varieties but did why it take so long at $$$$700.00+ a bag compared to $11.50 Bu. delivered in 2024 to get to the Peace Country..
I know you have a seedmaster toolbar, look into the seedmaster on frame tank, ultra pro or ultra pro II. Canola metering is second to none. We lowered our seeding rate by 30% from what the bag recommends, still seeing 6-8plants per sq/ft. It is deadly accurate in all crops. Then you can use your flexi-coil tank straight for fertilizer, getting more acres per fill.
@@michaelhollmann8353 we do grow some hybrids. We don’t get to carried away with the latest and greatest though. We tend to let the big guys experience that heart ache/ head ache first
@@millionairefarmer. Thanks, we modified a corn planter in 2017 to save money on canola seed and go down to around 30 plants/m². And then we started to plant hybrid canola for a local seedgrower (2 male rows one empty row and 13 female rows) they said it was for the canadian market as around here everyone grows winter canola .

The corn growers call air seeders a controlled spill.
@@randykovalenko1236 oh man that’s funny. I’m using that
In the bin 2024. Good Stuff. Thanks for sharing
@@gilreynolds9282 so nice to be done and have the time to do some cleaning and maintenance befor the snow flies
@@millionairefarmer. Well you have lots of warm days to get “er done”.
Never ask how a flexicoil does what it does. They just do it and they do it well best drill ever made
@@bradenconway9066 they are pretty good units, no doubt about that

@@Cayman306 wow that’s rough for the cereals. Most canola suffered so I guess 35 isn’t all that bad. Lots of sprouted canola around I guess.

@@Cayman306 I was saying the same thing this year, by the time I get trucks moved they have got 20-30 acres done. I just hope someone is checking.
I think the seed treatment gums up bridges the seed a bit. Then back to normal.
@@wallyyuriy8912 oh that’s very possible. I am thinking of buying those special roller segments for canola
@@millionairefarmer.I just have drill gravity fed drill. I noticed had few plugged runs at the roller meter cause it’s gummed with seed treatment
Hahahaha, fvck, I’m still on the first field of combining. Maybe finish that up today finally. Glad you’re done. 👍🍻
The big farmer by me is just wrapping up peas too, so I don’t feel too behind.
Still early buddy

@@chadtosh6831 good deal
Glad to see the year was better that it potentially looked in July, congratulations on finishing
Hopefully we will be done in a week, been crunching through green canola straw and plugged choppers hahs
@@damonens9478 gross, is the canola sprouted down there too
@@millionairefarmer. eh. Some parts. Mostly cause we didn't spray most of our canola.
@millionairefarmer. and 19 degree days no real heay

@@davemurphy2774 oh yes very exciting to be done
Congrats on your harvest. I enjoy your videos,
Thank you Darrell. Glad you like the videos. It’s nice to be done so early

Thanks, I will Look into that. Might be a better option then buying different meters
Congratulations , you're early this year. We've just finished seeding canola over here. Do you plant hybrid varieties?
Greetings from Germany 🚜🌾🌞
@@michaelhollmann8353 we do grow some hybrids. We don’t get to carried away with the latest and greatest though. We tend to let the big guys experience that heart ache/ head ache first

I don’t get those misses with my box drills.
Yeah the box drill were pretty good.
Them bin sense sensors would be coming out in a hurry. That’s bull 💩. Way overstepping their business there I think.
It’s wild how much information you can put into them. But it is nice to know the bin isn’t 50 degrees inside the middle also.
@@millionairefarmer. I shove rods in. Lol. 😆
That new app is a joke...... Non sense direct
@@kentonleriger8288 wonder why they decided more complicated was better
