    Stopped in my Hometown of Cut Bank today then on to Big Bud country, Havre where my son lives. Ran by your place on the way. I thank the Lord often for his this channel because it brings me home.

    Beware of Hantavirus from mice Scott. We lost a young farmer in Southwest Saskatchewan several years ago to it. 36 years old. Left behind a wife and a 9 and 7 year old children

      On the news they were saying there's already 2 people in sask with Hanta in the hospital. It sucks trying to get equipment cleaned out to us after those little buggers are in there destroying everything.

      I was hearing peeps talkin EL NINIO a couple months ago... so we will see... this winter was weird... not normal weather these last 2 years.... poles must be shifting or the North & south poles are overloaded by strippingpolarbears or something!!! LOL HAHAHAHAHa
      I AM ACTUALLY PRAYING FOR EVERYONE THAT HARVESTS SOMETHING THAT HELPS OTHERS AND THEMSELVES TO HAVE A BOUNTYFUL HARVEST AND GOOD GROWING SEASON LEEDING UPTO THE HARVEST, and may all their PRODUCT MAKE IT TO MARKET !!! (don't dilly dally tho, cuz sittin PRODUCT had chance of mold and other ikkys... I think there gunna be a bad vomatoxin this year and ummm BIN ROT or wtuever they call it... unless you have proper monitoring in your storage bins... ;) ....) and white mold gunna be an issue the more and more def gets used... it and TARSPOT gunna be linked to BLU DEMON JUICE (DEF) sooner or later.... ;) sigh...

    Be very careful when cleaning up or vacuuming out dried mouse and rodent droppings. You can catch what is called the Hanta Virus from the dust if it gets in the air. You get very serious vertigo, upset stomach and diarrhea. And can be deadly. I got it about 12 yrs ago while tearing out some old cabinets and remodeling a kitchen and it was one of the sickest times I've ever been. That is one time I recommend wearing a mask. Hope this info helps have a great seeding season. Slim

      It is so refreshing to read about a parts man who wants to fully understand what they are selling far beyond just the part number. I had a young parts man tell me that front wheel drive cars don't have front wheel bearings, even after I told him I was looking at one in my hand. Best of luck I hope you go far!

    Busy busy time getting ready to seed.
    Thanks to Bob for showing us how to clean the seeding tubes for the seeders. That was some fine work and very detailed. You got the touch Bob. Got them ready to go to put seed in the ground. Now you need the moisture. I watch the weather for your area. Prayers for your area for rain and more moisture!!!!!!!! God bless!!!!!!!
    Good work unloading the bags of lentils into the storage area. Ready to go when you are ready. Go go go.
    Busy time. Important time getting seed in the ground.
    Have at it Welkers.
    Prayers for rain.
    God bless.

    Bearings are cheap, downtime during planting is expensive.
    Always replace all the bearings on a shaft. "I'll do that next year" will get forgotten about.

That is if it hasn't been modified. $26.50 10# plus shipping. 48# per bushel, you do the math. Sun Organics out of California if anyone is interested. Ancient Grains Farm out of Idaho ships their own goodies right from the farm. I would love to see you guys set aside some land to roll over to organic.
