Wish I had your experience!!

[@va3kbc]

Combing corn was my favourite operation on our farm. John Deere 9500. Loved that machine!!

[@joelbittner8791]

And that’s a beast of a machine. I drive one of those brand new in 93 or maybe 94.

Welcome to the channel, Stephan. Hope to feature the dairy farm at some point.

[@alvinneufeld1485]

What country is this farm located in

[@Northernupshots]

Interesting question. The easy answer is Canada. The other can be the “Peace Country” as that is what they refer to this region in the NW part of the province of Alberta.

I'm curious if this farm will take on some of the new bigger 9RX models that John Deere just introduced? The 9RX830, 770, or 710 for pulling big air seeders? Would like to see their seeding operation.
