Monday

Welcome to blog on this monday after Halloween. Hopefully everyone had a safe night and does not have to visit the dentist today!

I wonder if Halloween is a holiday created by dentists similar to those who think some "holidays" are nothing more than "Hallmark Holidays".

What is up this week? Well Ken, Shauna, Mike and myself are heading up to Camrose for the next three days to take in some ARECA meetings and training. It is always nice to get together with all the ARAs throughout the province and share stories of how everyone's year went. There are a few exciting things that are hopefully going to be coming out of the ARECA group in the next few months, so stay tuned!

For those of you wishing to register for the SACA Conference, there will still be staff in our office that would be happy to help get you registered. The number is 403-381-5118, or you can go and register online at http://www.farmingsmarter.com/

While you are on the Farming Smarter website, check out a bunch of the other projects we are working on. We are in the process up putting reports together for all of our projects and if there is something that you might be interested in finding out more info on, don't hesitate to get a hold of us.

As many of you are done or in the final stages of harvest, can't help but think to next year. What should you put in? What are seeded acres of certain crops going to be?

I wonder what the acres of winter wheat will be given the very wet fall we had and some of the challenges with getting the crop off for one.

 I also wonder how many acres of Canola and Lentils will be seeded next year. As many of you know Lentil acres hit remarkable highs this year, and from what I have heard so far there were quite a few wrecks. How much will that influence the amount of seeded acres? Time will tell, but I think they might fall back into what normal averages are.

Thats all I got for today! Enjoy the nice November weather!
