Arrived in ND on the 14th and started running the 8630 and air seeder about 5 that night. Been pushing pretty hard to get done and I put in about 1400 acres since I got here. A couple of fairly long days and I got 180 acres in one day. Most days were around 120 to 150 acres.

This is in SW ND...

Today we had the ground covered with pea sized hail while I was finishing up in the last field! I think it got up into the mid 40's, and was miserable and windy all day.

Anyway, some pictures:

No crop seeded in my part of Manitoba yet. Will start soon. We seed with equipment similar to what you show and mostly directly into stubble.

OK now that you are done up there come over here and run a tractor.

Our planting season is getting shorter every day and no one has moved yet cause of the wetness.

When it drys out the roar of the tractors will be heard all nite long.

My labor charge is $1 per acre... and I need to get at least $500 per week after taxes to make the mortgage payment, LOL.

Nah, I've got enough grunt work in for a while now. I'm ready to go back to thinking and talking to teach kids... and actually I've got plenty of landscaping to do at the house if I feel short of grunt work.

Only seven weeks and I'll be back at the farm getting the haying equipment ready...

PS - STILL NO RAIN OR SNOW!

Everywhere I look, guys are recropping back into spring wheat around this area.

I suppose when it went up to around $24 per bushel that motivated people... now it's around $10 with futures around $9... Still a lot better than the $2 wheat I remember selling before I moved away.

Really foggy this morning, but no measurable precip overnight. :(

Steven, great pictures. Any rain yet ? I talked to the FSA office in Hettinger a couple of days ago and they said everything was dry and brown, real dry.

No rain yet, possibly tonight and tomorrow. Red flag warnings every day due to high winds, low humidity, and extremely dry conditions. I think nearly half of the counties in ND have a burn ban in effect currently.

Hettinger is south of us, and they are usually even drier than we are...

We just keep hoping and praying for rain.
