It is just mind blowing how much open land there is in Sask. Yes, there are farms in Ontario, but there is nothing that compares to the never ending fields found in Sask. I had a friend that use to live in Sask and she would tell me how large the farms are in Sask and I just couldnt wrap my head around it. After years of watching Mike's vids, I can finally understand how massive the farms are in that province. It really is never ending and a horizon that goes on forever. No wonder some people think the world is flat.

Trust me, you think the videos give you a good idea of how large the farms are, but they don’t. A single 3000 acre field is friken nuts. Down here in bc chilliwak area I’m a dairy farmer and a large field here is 100-200 acres. If I had to guess I’d say mikes farming north of 50,000 acres just on the one farm

Watching from England, it's amazing how big your fields are. Anything over 100 acres is rare here, but I bet every square foot has had a human foot on it at some time. Following horses or oxen when growing crops. How many of your acres have seen a human footprint?

@mikemitchell2554 3 ай бұрын

Absolutely, in past years I didn't have the north farm.. So because of that, I have to concentrate on my own operation to insure I can get my work done in both areas. It's challenging, but fun! We as family still help each other out where ever possible but they've zero interest in 2 farms and would be the first to say "get going, and don't worry about us"

Some farmers are not dumping their wheat into semis on the go instead of dumping into grain carts. There are advantages such as less fines in the grain from less augering without a cart, less fuel used, less manpower required, less wear on machinery, more profit etc.

I notice the monitor reflects different colors? I assume this reflects the yield? Is this yield/ gps information used when you apply fertilizer for your next crop? I imagine knowing where the previous crop was poorer, may allow you to increase fertilizer application in these areas 🤔

I gotta say though, being a dairy farmer down here in the Fraser vally bc chilliwack area a big field here is 100-200 acres. A single 3000 acre field is just nuts.

They're a similar diameter and density to the grain, so even though they're long, they can fit through the sieves, and their density means they don't get blown out the back like chaff does.
