Anhydrous Ammonia in the rear tank, dry fertilizer and seed in the next tank.....one pass "no-till" seeding.....25-30 acres an hour

 It can be a dusty, dirty job on pea stubble

 Seed and dry fertilizer in the semi trailer

 Filling the tractor with fuel and the seed and fertilizer tank at the same time...thousands of $$$ down the drain in a few minutes!!!!

 Ronna's dad, Darris, watching the seed tank

 Elmer going to move the truck ahead to the fertilizer hopper

 The good old days using 40' conventional John Deere hoe drills....not nearly as efficient as the one pass Bourgault air seeder above

2005...the best oat crop we have ever raised....close to 180 bushels an acre

 We cut some with the mower conditioner for hay and it took forever to dry out enough to bale

 One hay hauling rig...we also use the semi which hauls 23 bales

Swathing canola into windrows so it will dry

The blue roller behind the swather pushes the windrow down into the stubble so it doesn't blow away

6 rounds done....many more to go

It takes about a week of hot weather to dry it enough to be combined

This barley field is dead ripe and waiting for the combine to harvest it while it is still standing

This 2388 Case IH combine with a 30' header makes short work of a big field of barley

It doesn't take long to load this semi-truck

Dusty outside....nice in the cab with lots of monitors and controls

View from the operator's seat

Swathing oats

The oats are swathed and now wait for the combine

Here it comes with a full hopper

It kept two trucks busy to move the grain to a bin

Harvest is over for 2007 as this field of hard red spring wheat has just been finished....truck heading for the bin

Combine is cleaned up and ready to go into the machine shed for another ten months or so
