R60 and F020 win endurance trophies in the Dismatile and Gas Power Age events. Reocates win the former, driven by Gee Horton, with Hapnobite and C Famers second. Gas Power Age sees a dramatic early lead overturned as Usd nies falter. Hapnobite earns praise for strong performance.
A census bulletin reports on grain crop conditions across western Canada and Saskatchewan Alberta Manitoba noting wheat yields influenced by winter protection and spring frosts. It cites area changes in hay and clover, pasture conditions, and regional variations with figures and percentages, highlighting declines in some regions and shifts in field crops over time.
Farmers facing spoiled hay may still recover pasture and forage. Millet planted mid August can produce pasture in two weeks and hay in about sixty days, thriving in many soils and supporting cattle. Cowpeas and rape provide additional pasture options, sowed by late August, with rye or winter wheat as fall pasture.
A practical tip explains that dense planting followed by frequent cultivation improves moisture access and yield. The cultivator must move continuously, stirring surface soil and leaving a light mulch, which boosts final harvest far beyond its cost.
A rural note describes starting a mower at noon to cut land then beginning fodder the next day. A side delivery rake is used after noon to form two windrows for a heavy windrow, improving loader efficiency and reducing ox labor.
