Do farmers suffer because their choices or is it just pure unluck? 🤔

Casey: I look to good to be alone.

When people say that they don’t buy looks, they are blatant liars or not human at all. I like how this tractor looks and when I am not looking it outside, I like how it looks from inside.

More specifically, the headlights! I am not talking about work lights, these are good on every tractor nowadays but it is a different story if you are heading home at night. I do that alot because I am farmer (read: can’t organize my time) and driving on the roads takes considerable amount of time.

And these headlights are good, my NH has two candles (one is unlit I am afraid) and I drive with work lights on the road where possible. With Case I could see a lot further than just in front of my nose.

And as you can see the lights are so bright that even a dull estonian farmer like me did notice 🙂

I was offered an oppurtunity by @dotnuvabalticeesti to try out the new Case IH Optum 270.
Since I started my account 1,5years ago, I have secretly dreaming of these kind of oppurtunities and now the tractor is standing in my yard.

Also there is a practical reason - I have always wanted to cultivate and drill at the same time, getting seed straight into moist soil, but that requires two 250+ hp tractors for which my farm is too small.

Renting is a solution but companies are interested minimum of one month rental period and I need the tractor for one-two weeks only.

So Dotnuva said that I can have a tractor as a demo unit for a certain amount of hours and I can rent it for a few days.

I will be sharing honest thoughts of Case in captions and ultimately blog post will come. Follow along!

PS! These green plants are not weeds but my spreaded cover crop Vicia Villosa did grow a bit. The whole field is not like that ofcourse but Instagram is made to show off your success right?!

Spring barley is finished. Thanks to Case and NH it was like walk in a park except it wasn't. Drill had a hiccup but everything went well ultimately! Now onto peas!

#gifted
Here I am sitting on my fake carbon hood but having a very real Wild BBQ burger from McDonald’s Estonia.
A while ago, I received a handwritten (!) card and coupons to try out a new burger that McDonald’s is offering.

The text on the card suggested that they are not waiting for a post from me, but only feedback. As the card was addressed to me personally and the text showed that they have been really following me, I decided to do a post nonetheless because the effort was made.

I am a Big Tasty man myself, and there hasn’t been a burger that has tasted better (maybe a
triple cheeseburger 😊), so I wasn’t expecting much.

But I liked it, even better than the Big Tasty.
The Wild BBQ burger had this little spice spark going on which I dig. I generally dislike BBQ sauce, but this burger had it quite balanced. And it filled my stomach to the brim.

Can I give it an objective rating? No, I am a farmer, not
a foodie! Was I satisfied? I was!

After the New Year, Estonia
was hit by a cold wave, when the temperature dropped below -25 degrees for several days.

There was a significant thaw in Estonia before the New Year, which made the
snow layer very thin and in western counties, the protective snow disappeared completely.

Since winter rapeseed is an expensive crop to grow and can also bring great income, it was
reasonable to be concerned about the health of rapeseed My winter rapeseed was covered with a 3-4cm layer of ice/snow at the end of the cold wave. I
decided that if there would be a bigger thaw, I will dig up some rapeseed plants and try to
grow them in the basement to get an idea if the plants are alive.

There were opinions on this experiment in two ways, and on one hand it was thought that
breaking the root system could also kill the plant and the experiment would not give an
objective result. On the other hand, I was encouraged to try - "what do you have to lose".

On January 25, I managed to dig up the plants.
The plants found a place in my home basement, I added a growth lamp to them and started waiting for results. By February 13, it was clear that all the plants were alive and growing leaves diligently. This also gave me great confidence that the plants survived despite this
cold wave.

Beginning of April, it was clear that another snowless cold wave did
not come and there was excitement to see how the rapeseed fields would come out from
under the snow. Fortunately, all fields are in better condition than average despite the light
winter damage and the risk of reseeding disappeared.

Warm days brought out bugs and it was great to test my "poor man's" pest monitoring system.

On rainy April 13, I "found" the rapeseed plants in the basement and to my surprise, they
were already in the flowering phase or about to reach it. It was a pity to just throw away
these "survivors" and I put them back in the field to continue growing Now I have the
only field with flowering winter rapeseed plants known in Estonia!

When you have wind speed measuring device on your sprayer or you have your own weather station it is easy to see the wind speed. According to the wind speed farmers decide if spraying can be done.
But the "feel" of the wind speed is a major deciding factor, smaller farmers see every gust as too much but bigger ones do what they have to do as long the maximum wind speed is not over the legal limit

Farmers always start the season with a feeling that everything is ready and it is the new beginning etc.

But when you have job with machinery and everything depends on weather, things do happen and not the planned way 😅 Whatever happens, let's not forget that tomorrow is the new day and yesterday's big problems are solvable today!

We, farmers want to see changes in plant growth now!

But we also know that in reality winter wheat spends about 340 days on the field and winter oilseed rape almost a whole year. So changes won't happen overnight! Nevertheless it doesn't stop us "seeing" changes right after fertilizing 😅

Spring is a season when nature becomes alive and farmers come out of hibernation. The season of hope and new beginning.
Spring is when the foundation for harvest is laid. It is a very busy time with several jobs happening all at once, all need to be done in a timely manner.
One of the first jobs is fertilizing winter crops to give them boost to start growing. Whether it is manure, slurry or mineral fertilizer, they all serve the purpose of having quality yield in autumn.
