Finally starting to receive the much anticipated equipment. There are still several pieces to arrive yet but hope is on the horizon. So far only one significant breakdown, which was on an older sprayer, so maybe the past year can be a distant memory. π
The parts for this unit arrived Friday and will be back in operation this week. All the new equipment has been flawless and a huge step up in functionality, features, and power. Being able to reset the business from past problems was the correct decision.
One big addition last week was the arrival of a second trailer. This allows one trailer to be setup as a designated spray trailer without wasting a day switching back and forth. The second trailer will be used for mowing, tillage, and seeding projects. With both trucks and both trailers my days are going to be a lot more productive and less stressful. The next obvious step may be to find a responsible, trustworthy individual to operate one of the setups.
Mother nature continues to mess with my schedule and at some point you just have to work with it best you can. Currently we have about 300 acres of pasture and commercial spraying which will be performed at night, 150 acres of pasture cutting, 50 acres of complete acreages till and seed, plus the numerous patient acreage owners waiting on w**d spraying. Then we have a few grading jobs that will be slotted in last minute.
Lana must be doing something right with my advertising since I am seeing acreage bookings as far as southwest of Calgary. That may be a hard project to come home from, as it is beautiful country.
The pictures represent a few of the activities this wet spring.
