why not deer?

So today we harvest our last field of canola. It was reseeded because of the dam frost in june or fricking 8 days of frost. Seeded on june 15 and harvested on Nov 15. The frost on 4 quarters did rob us of about 10 to 20 bushels an acre rest after that was fine. Should have started seeding canola two to three days later. Get er in early they tell us f86!k you. In the north it should be after the 12 of may or later. Any way it is testing 12 and green contedt is up. But yield will be better than the three we didn't reseed. Today will tell the tail. Then 200 acres of oats. Standing twisted heavy mess. Yield should be high but lots of seed loss. That's tomorrows fun. Well I called it a 10 day window and its here. Most will finish in our area only three of four large guys have crop out. Two more fun days since after the canola today I am going home to have fun with the kids tonight.

AGREE! I'd bet that more $ are spent on vehicle repairs than the value of sheep or calves the coyotes kill. Way too many vermin they control. On top of that a few deaths from collisions with deer, one locally, a crying shame. Open season on deer, elk, moose till they are gone from populated areas. Call your MLA's.

Sask, that canola only took 5 months, our wheat took 6 months in the field! Oats seeded June 25 looks like could happen on Wed, plus 7. Seed good but straw green. 99% done in area, but lots of tough canola bins to dry and monitor. We are finishing drying today.

At some point this is going to affect our feed grain prices big time. Perhaps should sell out the feed grains now.

Bigger is better mentality gets a reality check right between the eyes. I thought the barns were wrong from day one. Yes most agree the pork is barely edible, marinated in liquid manure. And the smell! Holy Sh*t! We can get it 12 miles away. More empty white elephants in the country side.

If it moves, shoot it, trap it! I don't like that thought.

Slow down. That works. Especially at dawn and dawn.

Leave the moose out of your killing shark frenzy. There hasn't been a reported case of CWD in moose yet.

Leave the coyotes alone. They are great mousers. With the exit from the livestock industry something moveable has to fill that prairie void. And it isn't the wildlife that's causing it.

Channel your hate towards Alberta rats, and SW Sk. gophers. Gainer is going to kick your ...

Does anyone have non-sprayed feed barley or feed oats for US sale?

One Earth Farms stakeholders take notice.

Don't usually agree with you beetle but you have hit the nail on the head.

Add some of those other investment firms that overpaid for land when durum and wheat were high. Can't pay hundred thousand dollar salaries to these land managers for sitting on their duffs.

The hog industry: may it rest in peace. Pork production will be relocated to Brazil. The big problem comes in getting all of our grain out of here without domestic feed comsumption and the US market. Only so much rail capacity going west. As far as small pork producers: they were extinct a long time ago. Bottom line: expect lower prices for grains.

Maybe the days of export markets are over and the Dairy and Poultry model will be extended to pork and beef. I don't see any bankruptcy in those models and fair prices to consumers. Time to stop subsidizing food production when consumers only spend 10 percent of their disposable income on food.
