Just back from Saskatoon to Michigan 3000 miles rd. trip. What is that crop they grow up there--kind of a thick stem from what I COULD SEE?????
 
They raise some canola in N MN, but not as much as they used to. Huge swaths, the deer really have to jump to get over them! It sure is a pretty field when it's in bloom! They like to burn the straw after harvesting, but it's not always safe to do that.

They're growing Canola in Kansas now.
 
I saw a field of canola around Moscow Idaho several years ago. The field full of pretty yellow flowers was stunning.
 
that's interesting as canola straw never gets burn in Manitoba. the straw brakes up so easy it is never a problem.
 
Good question Scott ..... I'd like to see an answer to your question. Restaurants up here in Alberta are 'sort of' open but people at the same table are expected to be from the same household. Obviously, everyone (customers and business owners alike) are ignoring the rule or maybe conveniently forgetting it or pretending to be unaware of it. Our nnalert numbers are unfortunately jumping again.
 
Hi Len, sorry I missed your reply when I made mine.
Is there much paperwork or procedures at the border involved?
So you wouldn't see too many family sedans at the border crossing then right?
 
the straw is pretty well impossible to burn. by the time it goes through the chopper there is nothing left. i have never saw anyone just dropping the straw from a combine, as even so by the time it goes through the beater and cylinder its pretty well trashed.

Burn the straw??? You can't be talking about canola. When that huge swath goes through the combine it comes out the back all chopped up to nothing but chaff. Even my old axial flow without a straw chopper does it. The straw turns real brittle laying in the swath.
 
I was the only person crossing on Wed. morning. I am 76 and drive this van commercially...left tue. aft. from Michigan home 2 AM fRI. MORNING...Good trip..

Just curious about those magnets.....they remove rogue metal fragments from the foodstuff being made?

They must be badly needed to avoid production shutdown to pay for that dedicated delivery.
 
Probably Canola. I went there hunting back in 95 and remember a lot of it being grown. It was a long trip there for sure. About 2400-2500 miles each way as I recall. But it was an adventure!
 
Whos counting ? We never did any of that and still dont and we have had 4 confirmed Cases since the scamdemic started
 
My third trip with the magnet co. once to Purina in Flagstaff, Az and the Bush bean complex in TENNESSEE. Got into Tn. about 2 in the morning slept in th evan for a couple hours. Got turned around getting out of there in those mountains. Stopped at a gas station and food store. Said I WAS FROM Michigan and kinda lost. Man and woman behind the counter..He looked at me and said--YOU BEST BE GETTING BACK THERE..Turned around and walked away. An older customer said--come out side...He said the War is still kinda fresh on their minds. over 150 years later.....
 
Well unfortunately, what each of us experience in our own little worlds means nothing in the scheme of things. It's like someone wealthy beyond means in a sea of poverty .... that fact has little bearing on the whole. Unless of course it is another conspiracy and if it is, I think a guy is better off searching for the missing shoe boxes with the ballots.

You are wasting your time trying to convince those of his mindset of that.
 
Could you be thinking of Flax? The stems from that are very tough and fibrous and don't break down well, often the fields are burnt off after they harvest the seed.
 
because people dont know how to prepare the field they intend to burn . burning is ok for the soil and weeds.
 
yep, you tell them rusty. they dont believe me, must think i have never combined any canola. lol. over 18.00 a bushel now.
 
Flax is what is burned. I ran a combine harvesting canola by Kamsack Saskatchewan for only a half hour so I am far from an expert but what impressed me was how those huge swaths can go in the front of the combine and only pieces of sticks come out the back like what was mentioned.

Flax, on the other hand, comes out of the combine tougher than when it went in the front. The more you work flax straw, the more wiry and tough it gets. Literally becomes a rope. I've told stories on here before on my trials trying to harvest it. And yes, flax straw has to be burned or removed from the field somehow or you won't drag a drill through that straw.
And yes, nnalert is real too.
