Crops are pretty good. We haven't done any Canola at Rapid City yet, but the Canola at Brandon only did 30, it was on the east side and missed most of that big June 30 rain, I suspect that there will be some 40+ Canola at RC, but I've been high on my estimates all fall, the only surprise has been in the peas. Wheat at Brandon did 55, Wheat at RC has been okay so far, the early stuff is running in the high forties to mid fifties. Overall I'm surprised at how the heat hurt the wheat, when I was trying to figure up yields I was drawing comparisons to the summer of '03, but I think the difference between 03 and 06 is that the heat came earlier this year, in 03 July wasn't actually that bad, it was august. How are things out your wayIJ What sort of questions do you have about the lexionIJ For the most part we like ours, the only thing I wish is that the rotor filler plates could be adjusted automatically so you could fine tune your settings throughout the day. This is our sixth year running a lexion and have had very little problems, except for the hydro going out of our 480r in the first 20 hours of use. Sometimes I find it challenging to perfect the settings in wheat, in canola its very easy. Under normal crop conditions we're averaging 18-19 acres an hour, last year it was more like 22, but the crop was poor. Are you thinking of getting oneIJ Perhaps you should get a 590
