Seeding up here is JUST getting underway, I drove from Saskatoon to Regina today (250km or 150miles) and I only saw three seeders going and aside from the fields they were in there wasn't another field even touched yet. Some farms have the airseeder at the shop but a lot the combine is still parked there from last fall, the airseeder (or other seeder) is still parked in the grass.
Field work is probably a week or two late this year depending on where in the province. There is still snowbanks on north slops and on the north side of treelines. I think some of the bigger guys are getting a little antsy to get something in the ground.
Another week or two there should be dust every few miles, hopefully there is more happening when I go to Swift Current in 3 weeks.
This rig (Flexicoil & Case) made one round around a 80acre field and that was it.
This big Bourgault rig (I am guessing a 75'er with a 6700 tank and Trippled up Case IH) had probably been going for a couple hours, he was parked at the shop when I went down in the morning.
His partner was just leaving the yard when I went by.
I did spot this monster at a CIH dealer, looks like it should be field ready this week.
