We just caught an inch of rain in southeast alberta in the past couple days but too late for alot of the crops up here, boy did we have a heck of a nice crop coming in may and june but july cooked us. Still will be much better than last year maybe 25bu/ac across the board which is much better than around 10-13bu/ac the past few years. We’re definitely in the same boat as you guys drought wise. Good luck with harvest this year and god bless you guys!

drone video at the start was over the top amazing. Lots going on, will watch this episode several times. Just a thought for new folks, show the Fire Tamer in action link from 4 years ago, that was exciting, plus how you have it set up now. You did not want to put it up on the newer expensive sprayer upgrade. As you mentioned fires at harvest are a real threat.

I believe that’s probably true. The reason being that the equipment is leased and the lease requires it repaired by their technicians. It’s all about propriatary information and technology.

The introduction to your video was absolutely brilliant, amazing and just fantastic!!!!!!! The cinematography and music and scenery mixed in with the farm machinery scenes was magnificent!!!!! Wow and wow!!!!!! Can’t get any better than that. My compliments to the Welkers for that wonderful lead into your video. Sorry for the breakdown on Bob’s combine. Sounds like in a couple of days you will have the parts you need but I understand you can at least use it now. Really glad to hear the yellow peas crop production is up from last year. You said it could be better but is certainly better than last year, that is absolutely great to hear. Hang in there Welkers!!!!! Glad to see Colby is riding shotgun with Bob again. And I noticed that Nick had the kids riding with him. Harvest is time for the family to take part also. Guess Bob is still looking for a motor for his pickup. Hopefully he can get something soon. Hang in there. Like seeing the new blue truck out in the field with you guys during harvest. You all did a great job on that truck. About it I guess. I hope you harvest crops production continues to be good. Sending my prayers to all of you ❤!!!!!!! With my blessings!!!!!!!! The Iowa farm boy. Steve 😊😊👋👍👍🙏✅💕🇺🇸🇺🇸
