A little more video from the cab of the combine. Some of the last nice weather before the rain and snow brought the whole province to a standstill.

You have a pleasant manner of speaking that's fun to listen to, thanks! Seems late in the season to be combining oats and wheat, you must be at the tail end.

So I am guessing that in dry years the big slew that the truck is crossing , would be planted too ? Or would it only ever get dry enough to take hay off. Bruce

Yes, I enjoy the videos too. Always think to post some of our own harvest, but then you get so wrapped up in the work that it slips your mind....as do a lot of other things... .Ben

Not really late for cereals harvest here. I did my first wheat field Sept 1 and it was only just ready with still a few green kernels in the sample. . The oats could have been swathed and combined maybe a couple of weeks earlier but I was busy with other jobs or waiting for the latest rain to dry up. We spent a lot of time waiting because of those untimely rains. As we are now. 125 acres of flax to go. This could take a while.

Would you believe that thin strip of packed gravel and clay is a "super grid" road? I am constantly amazed at the weight of trucks able to cross it all summer without incident.
I have only ever seen that slough dry once in the drought of 1988. I broke it up but never got to plant anything there as it was wet again in 89 and forever after.
Here is an aerial view of the field from one of our worst wet springs, 2011.

I love seeing farming in someplace so different. I finished cutting about the 25th of June. Milo is ready as soon as the O ring comes in for the combine hydraulic tank I welded and beans are about a week off. That's the big one for me. There are roughly 700 acres of them that will be ready soon. Maybe we all need to post short videos of what harvest looks like for us!
