[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 5743482, member: 70596"] I believe Walters is the second largest farming operation in Alberta. They also have a trucking operation, seem to move a lot of cattle. You can stand next to I 15 in Montana and watch their trucks go by all day. One of the nicest looking fleets of trucks I have ever seen. Black 379 s and a few western stars, all with pushers. We used to cut on the same farm in Colorado with them. I think they ran around 20 machines. As with any large operation, it’s only as good as the team doing the work. Even over here you rarely run more than 4-6 machines at the same location so you need to split up and have foreman’s running each unit. One bad foreman can ruin your reputation really quick. I guess they figured if they had to have all these machines to harvest their crops, they may as well run them all season so the crew is trained up by the time it’s ready in Alberta! [/QUOTE]
