We have about 8-10 acres left to do - maybe should have trudged through last night but it was getting tough - now they are really tough. Old combine (R50) - slow going. Need air reels.
Started wheat today instead until we got rained out. Maybe finish a couple fields tomorrow if the rain holds off. Soys - might have to wait.

Trade, Fertilizer and Markets: What’s Really on Alberta Farmers’ Minds?

What are Alberta farmers, retailers and lenders talking about when they gather around the coffee shop table? In the latest Alberta Seed Guide Podcast, ATB Financial’s Jon Neutens shares what he’s hearing across the province — from fertilizer costs and commodity prices to trade uncertainty and why optimism still runs deep in agriculture.
