Total production contest

[macdon02]

I would say Shellbrook to Battleford. Judging from highway not much for yellowing or flooded out.

[vvalk]

if we dont see another rain crops from lethbridge north in AB will be pretty good. in general

You chose not to seed a crop?

Why are hanging out on this site if your not a real
farmer?

[cottonpicken]

Oh and specifically wishing pain on someone

Went to the farm show this past week. Made 1800 KMs around Saskatchewan. It is rough out there fellas. It's as bad as people say. Just because in your little area (As well as mine. Things look AWESOME) doesn't mean the unseeded/drowned out acres aren't HUGE.

I went From Lloydminster to Regina )and virtually everything (95 %) was seeded. Crops are excellent around the Battlefords. Late late LATE around Regina.

From Regina we went to Benson and a lot seeded. Some of the best Canola acres I seen were around Stoughton of all places. Good maturity. Good stand.

From Benson to Fort Qu'Appelle via White City... Ha ha took a little Detour by accident. Started getting really wet in the Qu'Appelle Region.

Qu'Appelle to Foam Lake Awful Awful Awful. Leross to Foam Lake MAYBE 10% seeded....Maybe. Things are awful from Leross to Elfross. Not the worst area but the dirties area.

Foam Lake to Humboldt...5% Seeded...I don't know if that is high but it sure ain't low. I went over 60 miles and counted 3 fields on the highway that were seeded. Wet wet wet. The stories you hear from these guys aren't over exaggerations.

Put in a ton of miles. Went thru the worst area I have ever seen (Leross to Humboldt) It is as bad as people say. My dad came along for the ride. He started the trip out by saying there can't be that many acres unseeded. Well folks there is. Lock up your bins. Don't let the crushers etc scare you into selling. Prices are going up. Oats will be up big. 12$ Canola. Don't be a fool and sell Yellow Peas for under 7$. Sit tight and take advantage of a bad situation.

Went for a drive from Leader Sask up to Kindersely area over to Hanna and up to Stettler then to Bragg creek then down to Lethbridge. Have to drive home from Lethbridge tomoro yet. Seen pretty good crops all the way they might be 10 days late or so but overall they all looked pretty good with a little bit of flooding.

In our area the crops look like they have potential for a bumper crop still and they had the most flooding that I seen on the drive I just took. We lost 15 to 20 percent of seeded acres on our farm but if nothing drastic happens I think the yield in the rest of our crops will more than make up for our loss.

I really feal for you guys that did not get your crops seeded etc.

There is lots of crop other parts of Western Canada that are not doing so good or did not get seeded but there is some in other areas that is better than average for them.


The canola will be way down I think as there is lots of canola acres out of production my guess is 70 percent.


My guess for other crops is 85 percent of average providing there is not another monsoon over a giant area again or an early frost somewhere.


For the harvest of 2009 we were combining 4bu acre lentils and 10 bu acre peas ect and I found it hard to believe that any one else could have a good crop last year with all the doom and gloom we heard before harvest and it really suprised me some of the yields that were out there.

I don't think we can count anything out until it is harvested.

Saskfrmr - you got me - checkmate! 5 bears - that
made my day, best laugh in a long time! Still, from
some of the posts you can see that the ball of
averages is still afloat. Hope you aren't too cranky
because my Stamps whooped your Rider's ass big time
today. And ah yes, there is still a long season ahead...

I was past your place today JAG, and i think you seemed to have got the worst of it, but do you think you lost 15-20%? Not sure where your land is exactly, but is the water south/SE of your Dad's the worst? We lost about 10 ac on 3000 seeded. I thought it would have been worse then it was. Some sloughs have not seen water in 5 years, but not really catastropic as i was expecting.

Canola at Eatonia is starting to bolt. Looks like MB crops i have seen in the past.

Dave
The water SE of my dads yard is the worst and all the water that is there that you could see is on the land that we farm There is some land we farm around my Uncles yard NW of Sceptre that has quite a bit of water as well. Then there is a bunch of smaller 2O-25 acre sloughs all over the place.

20 percent might be pushing it but it is well over 10 percent pretty close to 15 percent of our seeded acres not the total acres we farm. The areas that were flooded are all areas we continious crop as they are flats that have moisture even on the dry years. They have been under water for 3 years at a time in the past. I think in the 70s they were flooded most of the time. They have not flooded in the last 12 or 13 years.

Not sure how much water is there now as we took off Friday morning for a road trip. Hope some of it soaks in.

I think on what is not flooded there is potential to grow one of the biggest crops we ever had.


When I get home will have to go up and fly around to see where all the water and wet spots are before we start spraying.

Are you sure the expression "don't mess with Texas" shouldn't be substituted out. (lol) You have a vicious little front in your display window, cp.

Put your listening ears on, oh sensitive one, and search for the explanations that are plainly visible. I've tried that with you, but all I come up with is your poor grammar, a reluctance to answer, and half riddles.

There could be an explanation for you as well, if you're in your early forties. I was in charge of a K class in the Weyburn area when a tiny tyke ran over and wrapped his arms around my leg. My first thought was to pick him up, and give him a hug which was all that he was wanting. Instead, I unlatched his arms, and scooted him away. My guess is you're down a hug, which explains why you are the way you are, cottonpicken.

[btjadenlepp]

suggest we specify the rules for this
little contest then post some estimates,
by a certain deadline, then re-visit it
in october.

you guys have only been talking about
saskatchewan i think with your
estimates. should be total w. canadian
production.

crop-by-crop is more interesting than
total crop production: wheat, durum,
barley, oats, canola, peas, lentils,
flax. estimates for harvested area and
yield.

will probably get in trouble with my
colleagues for sharing internal
estimates, but this is a game that set
up right i'd love to play.

No the anvil and hammer I've been between for the past 20 years of farming has made me me.

I'm early thirties so I doubt we have met.are you in a nursing home yet or just one foot?

Your age doesn't give you a by,when you slap expect to get slapped back.

You have no clue and no morals that is obvious get back to your garden and let the real men talk about real things
