We got another new (used) tractor- We have about 70 hours on it this spring and it runs like a charm so far. The old tractor is 33 years old this year and has done well. We have seeded about 300 acres of green peas before being stopped by 1/2' of rain. We have been working around the yard and should be back at it by Monday. Forecast is for sunny and plus 20 for the next five days.
The Schraefel Farm is a 2400 acre organic farm in Saskatchewan which grows small dry grains such as wheat, barley, flax, peas, lentils and oats. This third-generation farm is operated by Clem, Chandra, Adam, Stephen, and Derek (The Straw Boss). We are "My Three Sons" meets "Green Acres". These are the happenings around the family and farm.

I'm pretty sure Clem meant 1/2" (inch), not 1/2'(foot) of rain!
Adam and Stephen are out painting the deck this morning. I am watching Canada play at the World Hockey tourney in Moscow - just saw sister Lisa on TV. She's looking good as ever. Adam thought she had a beer in her hand? Couldn't be. Must have been her camera.
The photo of Derek brings back soooo many memories. Let's hope the novelty doesn't wear off too soon. You could always get a wagon to pull behind it.I'm sure you've told him about how d ifficult it was using the 'push' mower.
Good luck with seeding/cutting!!
