Slugs in the sunflowers. Only where no-tilled into canola stubble. Fields that received fall tillage are clean. No-tilled experts, what's your go-to for slugs?

Both planters just crossed the finish line within ten minutes of each other. After losing a friend unexpectedly the other day, my heart hasn't been in it for the last stretch, but we pushed on. Been one hell of a week. Time for a crop tour and maybe a beverage. #plant26

Hey @MunicCK how many road graders does the municipality own? Asking on behalf of everyone who is unfortunate enough to have to use these gravel roads.

Looks like some squirrels got me back for letting the dog (naturally) eliminate some of the colony. Well played. This war ain't over.

It may not be fancy, but I will guarantee you that it will never have a def system failure. This was grandpa's favorite tractor. We sold it years ago, but now it's back and it will never leave again as long as I'm around. Next winter's restoration project came early.

And that's another season behind us. Now we can start thinking about the 2026 crop.

Waiting for the dryer to catch up so we can finish harvest this afternoon, so dad started backfilling tile drains. This November weather sure has been nice for getting these jobs caught up.

First time growing black beans. Took two tries to get a decent stand this spring. These were replanted July 4th. Not expecting a big yield, but the fact that they are here and we are harvesting them is encouraging.

The most satisfying pass of the year, and conditions are perfect for it.

This Aggie we hired to help out after school seems to be fitting into this circus just fine. Carter is doing a fine job with the cart. Found some damn good beans along the way. Today was a good day 👍

We joined the harvest party today. Also got this idea off of the internet, so I had Kent Fab bend it out of stainless for me, and it has already saved my ass (and the combine's) a few times by keeping rocks out of it.

First planted canola is up. It caught some rain the night I planted it, and it somehow came up in this lumpy stuff. Finished the last field today and could use another rain.

Field #2 of winter canola going in and we are getting things dialed in. Small seed this year and we decided to bulk it up with Tiger 90 to hit our population target. Good planting conditions and enough moisture to give it a chance at a decent start at life.

My big thought of the day: Cut back on canola acres or not? Only a few weeks away from my target planting date, and the markets don't look good. Will we have a resolution before harvest next summer? Who knows.

Finished the wheat harvest tonight. Best view in the neighborhood, on a farm that has a lot of family history behind it. Good crops, great weather and zero breakdowns. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

Double crop beans going in after canola. Got lucky last year, we'll see if our luck will continue. Planting very nice, but it's also very dry here on the outskirts of Blenheim.
