Ukrainian farmers rise against the Russian army

Mar 02, 2022

We know there’s nothing funny about war.

But we all love cheering for the little guy – especially when the little guy does something completely audacious and unexpected.

The act seen in the video below is not merely a spur-of-the moment idea. It’s obviously a planned endeavor, as someone is capturing all for posterity on a cellphone.

In a take-that moment, a Ukrainian freedom fighter utilizes a tractor to steal a Russian armored personnel carrier (APC) from under the nose of a soldier.

A better display of a real tractor pull, we have never seen.

We’re unsure what we like more:

the fact that a tractor can easily move a war machine;
the fact that the person performing the heist had so much time that he/she was able to get a hoist under an APC’s axle;
the utter zukhvalist' (the Ukrainian word for boldness) of the act;
or the Russian soldier sprinting after his stolen vehicle as his mind races trying to come up with possible excuses he can give to his superiors.

Watch the video below:

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.

Last Sunday Feb. 27th Jo-Ann & I put out the word we were challenging others to perhaps match our $100.00 or give what they could. The biggest surprise of all was when our 14 yr old grandson came off the ice playing broomball in Mildmay at 10:00 p.m. and handed us $10.00 which we matched right away as good grandparents you lead by example - we now have $1150.00 and more money being promised which we will give to the RED CROSS at Barrie on March 10th. Which is matched by the Federal Government we understand up to 10 million!
