First stuck of the year. Wasn’t to bad. Right across the road from home. Only lost about 20 minutes of seeding and the new drill guy gained some experience. #AgTwitter .

@westernproducer Sounds like sour grapes. It was ok for other farmers to clear bush but not the new owners. Kotelko and his friends maybe should have bought a few quarters then to save the trees if they wanted. It’s not up to private individuals to provide habitat for the public to enjoy.

@LHubich My personal opinion is that all unions should be abolished. Wages are higher in the private sector versus a union job in lots of situations. Good employees will always be able to get a premium wage compared to guys who wouldn’t have a job without the union protecting them.
