Just curious, my wife and I were watching a history show about farming in the Victorian times and I'm curious to know how much farming has improved since.

Average yield was 30 bushels per acre of wheat and the average person could work 1 acre per day.

By today's standards, how many acres could a farmer work using modern equipment and how many bushels/yield could they produce? (Assume you have a blank check for equipment, fertilizer, etc)

Way too early but still makes me freak out when these blow into the field

Stayed at a hotel in the city last night(Regina), caught an episode of this on tv. Only saw the one so don't want to pump it too much, but honestly, it was almost like having coffee at a neighbors, lol.

Looked it up, it's filmed about 80 mi WSW of Saskatoon.

Couldn't find a torrent, but episodes are available to watch online: https://www.citytv.com/shows/dirt-farmers/

A few years ago came across a short series called, "the american farm" I believe. We enjoyed that and are looking fwd to more episodes of this. Interesting to see the advantages and problems of farming in other area's.

Figured folks may enjoy a snapshot of farming in Saskatchewan. I'm not familiar with that area of SK(note I don't remember seeing much for trees or water if you get my drift)

Anyway, hope both you and we enjoy.

After kicking around in the corner of the machine shed where I keep all my shovels'n'such this morning while looking for a spade, I realized I have more broken handled shovels and spades than I have workable good ones.

So, who makes the best wooden replacement handles - no fiberglass or plastic, please. In need of both long, straight handles and metal D handles with wood crosses (no plastic). Located in South Central Iowa, wouldn't be opposed to ordering a bunch in bulk if someone has good, proven experience with one manufacturer over another.

Before asking why we don't have a tower silo, is because our production isn't big enough and this things are very expensive here...

Hi R/farming!

Kind of a weird request but I am trying to identify what kind of truck this is. We saw it just over the Vermont/Quebec border coming from one of the big stretches of farm.

What you can’t see in this photo is that it has an attachment on the front that looks sort of like a vacuum nozzle coming down over the front bumper.

My boyfriend loves this truck because he used to have a model of one as a kid. I’d love to get him a new model for the holidays as a silly nostalgic gift, but when I asked him what kind of truck it was, he let me know that he’s only ever called it “the snoot truck.”

Any ideas on what this truck is called/what it does? Even if I can’t get a model, I’m very curious at this point! Thank you so much in advance!

I have only been at our farm for only a few months. I had heard people talk about pets being dropped off at farms, but did not expect it to occur this soon.

I assume the kitty was dumped because it is afraid to go outside. I tried taking him to the barn and he just howled like a scared indoor kitty. He appears clean with no apparent pests or diseases. Still has balls.

We are probably going to take him in, but if this is going to happen more than a few times, we are going to setup an area in the barn.

Thanks in advance!

How do I get rid of the synodon, knowing that the tree is in its second year ?
