Alberta

Alberta is beautiful with all the swathed grain to the Canadian Rockies. The Rockies near the ice fields is crazy traffic but we got through unscathed and got some good pictures I hope to show later.

Most of the grain is swathed, especially Canola, but some is direct cut like we do in the states. Not much swathing done in the states as we are in a different environment and the weather will usually cure the crop standing in the field.

It is interesting to hear the talk of farmers selling their own wheat instead of through the Canadian Wheat Board as they did in the past. Farm management has obviously changed in Canada.

It is almost cold but we are enjoying it. I couldn't get the Xyboard to let me type under the picture below so I loaded both separately. Long time readers have heard the challenges I have reported using Blogspot this last year.
