The baler man

Video: The baler man


We got switched over to pick up barley swaths and pea/canola swaths, everything was tough though. So we put the straight cut header back on and went back onto standing barley. Crops just won’t ripen quick enough to get a dry sample, it’s unfortunate but we are still blessed to be getting the Yields and bushel weights we are getting right across all crops. The baler man followed me out west, unfortunately for him he had a bearing go and actually had the bale In side his baler catch fire. He was able to kick the bale out before it did any damage, but then we had the situation of the field starting on fire. Luckily for us we had our water trailer full and waiting at the yard, so we could grab it and put the fire our before it spread. Thank you to all the neighbours and folks passing by that stopped to offer help, and to the gentleman who gave Cori a ride back to the yard for the water trailer.
