Watching his videos is quite interesting but it shows to me that the more he tells the less you know.
There are so many things I simply cannot wrap my head around. But I suppose, for a stranger, it would be the same for my tiny operation.

Wheat 36.74 bu ti the ton. 60lbs a bushel
barley 45.85 or 48lbs a bushel
oats 64.8 bu to the ton. 34 lbs a bushel
canola 44.1 to the ton 50 lbs a bushel
if not perfectly exact these number are close.
After this years drought and the land in Saskatchewan 5 bushels an acre is very believable. Inputs they would be using would be minimal due to yield potential. Some dealer like to be associated with operations of this type and will give very good terms to gain their business and advertising that comes with it. Truly a remarkable accomplishment to grow to that scale and shows good people skills. And mental strength

When we had a go at farming at Bonanza Alberta, I used to drive a hire combine from Dawson Creek to Bonanza about 30+ miles, on my own with no escort and that was no problem.80 miles, almost next door for these people.
What a difference to overcrowded Uk!!!
I am intrigued to know how/ where the finances come from to finance all that kit.
However well established I find it hard to believe that the finances are generated solely from farming income. That said I would be delighted to be proved wrong.

At 40'000 ac the insurance checks are big or I would think. Plus A lot of that gear would be leased I assume. Those drills are 6 plus years old though so they don't trade everything in. Plus at least all the contractors say once you into the new machinery and trade them off regularly the hurt isn't so bad. Some gear would be worth as much as it was new a few years ago in the current marketplace.

Ha ha how’s his new fendt going, he was not impressed with the add blue issues quite understandably not quite sure why he swapped his jd in?

Though he swapped in his 1050 for it?

Never any money gained from a crop insurance claim. Just the loss is smaller.
I can vouch for that from experience while in Alberta for only two years.
Anyone who thinks opposite, quite frankly doesn’t know what they are talking about .

And a good operator would plan around losing as little as possible. Have some cash to keep the show on the road and have a crack next year. Aleast that's what I'd be doing.I can vouch for that from experience while in Alberta for only two years.

Yeah he swapped the 1050 in, and the only place that would take it was the Fendt dealer so he went with a 1167 as a replacement to put on his drill. His dad purchased another JD to use on the smaller drill that the 1050 was previously on. His JD 4 track was traded in for a sprayer that hasn't arrived yet. He wasn't too happy with the dealer over that, seems they messed him about a bit.
His dad purchased an older Bourgault drill for the north farm for him (nice gift!), to save having to move his drill up there, except it needs some work doing to it so ended up having to take the 1167 + drill up there anyway for this year (he's not released a video of that yet). It's very wet up there still, he's got stuck a few times.
Finance to pay substantial lease payments have to come from somewhere.
You must be signed up to his paetron acc?
Yeah, he's got a decent number of subscribers on there.

I’ll never be paying anyone to watch this stuff. Mikes videos are getting average so definately won’t be paying for the privilege. He does seem to like the big Fendt tho
