Last night any way you looked you saw lights going in our area. Or the rattle of reverser in the distance. Its slow going in Canola yes yield is their but slow going. Left oats since was taking way to long to harvest did lighter field in morning, then switched. Quaker needs to come to the plate and start paying for this ship. Simply oats isn't worth growing for them if its under 2.

Agstar77,
Since the CWB is a monopoly seller... you would think they could negotiate a fair and profitable price for Wheat and Durum... especially since they restrict the Canadian sales volumes entering the global grain markets!
Take a look at CWB President Ian Whites recent letter on EU Durum tarrifs being removed!

Yes, most years I can make more money growing oats than I can growing wheat. And I get my money right away.
This year oats is a dog.
Thanks to the CWB every year wheat is a dog. If I could get the world price for my wheat it would be a different story but that buck a bushel the board is costing me really hurts.

Think I just figured it out. I am running 2 1680 IHs. Not too hard to keep up with the truck in these conditions but spent 5 hours pre start service in the morning this morning. Its only 4 pm and have 3 hours on my list already for tomorrow morning. She is going to be some long days this week. Oh well I believe the new ones have problems also, maybe even operator problems hehe.

lcarduner,
Just finished the flax... tough... but on air!
Surprised how good it yeilded, patience paid off for both us and big time for crop insurance! Would much rather have the grain!
CI losses Could have been over a $2B bill on July 1... now under $1B...? George was quite releaved when I spoke to him on Friday night! Ed had a good weekend... with 77% support!
What a strange fall, out 1 month... did our 2009 seasons get out of kilter or what!

Canola down to 13% in the area, lots was combined over 20%, now needs drying ASAP. Finished the swathed wheat, best was 18%. The 60 plus bu swaths of rotten straw combined real easy. Mostly oats left in area. Lots of bushels to dry with cheaper Nat gas, harvest not over yet. Snow forecast pushed back to Saturday.
