90bu Wheat? 😳

  • So we have arrived at the first 1/4 Mike bought back in 2020 and with that has had the most money invested into the land bringing up the soil health.
    This also happens to be the 1/4 with 40-80ac of heavy trash (organic matter) that Mike was trying to seed through this spring - see video here.
    • Should have harrowed 🤦...
    Spoiler Alert: The non-harrowed high organic matter ran 100bu avg due to the moisture retention of the July heat and lack of rain at filling. But the rest of the fleld did not do that, so the whole field avg was around 88-90bu ish acre. Still amazing though! And very thankful!

      in the uk cover crops are becoming more of a thing for topsoil retention, moisture retention and ground cover, even in our generally wet climate were starting to get really really dry springs and early summers where you need the moisture we get non, and then the summer is wet when you dont want it . the cover crops also have root systems which help keep the soil healthy.

    Mike, congratulations on the excellent crop. I grew up on a farm in the Swan River Valley region. East of your north farm just inside the Manitoba border. In 60-years, we have never experienced a complete crop failure. You are working too hard farming in two regions Buddy. Consider divesting the south farm and expand the north. The reason the Swift Current is a "Brown" Soil zone is because over hundreds/thousands of years, the area is/will always subject to drought/low rainfall.

    Then get thru the lodged stuff, back to 0 degrees.and #2.

    Usually it comes down to dealer support and the best bang for you bucks. Speed, fuel efficiency how breakdowns.
    Most combines do a pretty good far as quality of grain.
    Soposed to be a new Case combine coming out soon.
    Likely a class 10. Probably similar to the Newholland combine.
    Think u will try Red one next time if the reviews of it are good?

      There lights that flash when the horn blows.
      Not sure if the lights flash when the horn is unplugged

    I have a question. How good does it feel when everything comes together to make a great yield?
