Gonna need some buns, probably too soon for this springs wheat to be hitting store shelves, I'll take my chances.

Hogs were better slopped and rolling in mud than they are today.
My hogs are all raised outside from start to finish, they are not force fed in the dark, it takes them 8-9 months to finish instead of 6, but SO tasty!!! You

They aren't force fed or in the dark inside barns either, that's a myth.

But like I said outside rolling in the mud, eating whatever they find makes for a tastier hog.

I had 350sows at one time.

Most likely to be ground into chick starter and other feed mixes, bottom dollar stuff.

Well those feeder barns are pretty full, not much room to manoeuvre, we used the run 150 sows as well.

I think if you go back to the original post it says "supposedly taken in Sask."
I never claimed to know for sure.

So many agricultural geniuses on here that don't have an actual clue about anything agriculture. The best is the only answer is to burn it, that's a good one. Some of you really need to get out more.

Bushmaster said it was sent from a friend. I guess it was just one of those things meant to mushroom through the internet? Mission accomplished.

If you had swaths in the field you might have been more interested.

I'd be more worried about the chemicals sprayed on our crops than I would be about mice and deer poop.

my county will not issue burn permits in the spring. they released a memo which instructed people who had been issued permits to carefully assess the locations which were burned last winter for residual smoke or hot spots and make sure that these areas will not reignite later in the spring. fire hazard is very high once the undergrowth dries out.

You won't find that anymore

Well about 16 inches of wet snow in the last week, what a disaster. The timeline is not good for harvesting and seeding the new crop.

Do you have a plan, crownb? I'm very interested in following what people are going to do.

My cousins ex farms by Wetaskiwin, his son was in visiting 2 weeks ago and I asked when can you go? They were thinking the next week. Then the snow came. I can't even imaging how wet the fields must be with a slow melt & rain mix like we had this last week. Hope our AO farmers get some warm winds to dry up them fields.

Unfortunately no, the weather controls what we can do, every day that swath sits soaked the value of the canola decreases. I feel like it gonna be like 2 more weeks till we can get on the fields. The forecast looks cool till this weekend.
