Farming In Alberta
Alberta is well known as Oil province but farming is also very important part of the economy here. We have a lot of good fertile land but growing season is short. That's why the farmers need to be smart and efficient.
The most important thing is to have a good and reliable equipment. And it should be big. Really big.
I prepared a couple of shots so you can get the impression.
Every grain farmer needs this kind of semi truck to get the grain from the field and to the market.
These bales weight 300kg or even more so the proper trailer to load them is a must.
You definitely need double tires if you don't want to get stuck on the field.
A front view of the tractor hauling the liquid manure.
And a side view just to get the full picture how big it is. They can hold 30 cubic meters or 30 tons of the liquid.
Filling the corn silos.
Almost done.
The milk truck is taking the final product to the process plant.
I hope you'll appreciate my today's effort to present you something new even if the photos are not of great quality.
Have a good start to a new week, my friends.
Potatoes and corns!
The truck is so huge, and the tractor has such enormous wheels!!!
wow gud dude me also a farmer in india
Double tires are not to avoid getting stuck. They are to distribute the weight of the vehicle over larger area, so the ground is not compact beyond usability
