Lately on the SMF we have really been busy with selling some grain, last week we sold 2 more loads of peas out to Lavoy for December delivery and also Cargill in Vermilion has a call for 50% of our wheat so on Friday and Monday we are loading up two loads to send in.
At the moment we have been working on budgeting our crop plans for next year, so when we get a complete plan of what is due up for rotations we will be sure to keep you up dated!

Nov. 13th

It has been a while since our last update but, we had our harvest party on October 30th at the Vermilion Legion for steak night! We had quite a few people show up along with our class including the first year croppers, 3 scouts from Cargil, most of the instructors from the crop tech program along with a few of the graduates of the crop tech program from last year.
Last week the students attended Agri-trade in Red Deer Alberta. This was a great show that allowed us to get an update on the whole 2009 line up of machinery.
Lately, we have been really looking into getting a new hopper bottom bin for next year. We have got a few different quotes on prices from a few different dealers, but nothing is set in stone just yet, We still have to appeal the idea to the board.
