Growing wheat while giving the CWB the finger.

[BTOfarmall]

Tom I asked a simple question. I didn't ask fer a Speech......

[TOM4CWB]

BTO,

Just quoted Joe.

playing.
Is it your video, my computer, or a
substance abuse issue?
</blockquote>

The first couple seconds is a video I took 2 weeks earlier than the second shot of it standing... The footage is blury because it's from a still camera and not my
handycam.... Not my best video, I know

<blockquote>
How many lbs/ac you seed at? What was final bpa CH?</blockquote>

140lbs/ac of certified AC Andrew seed. 27 plants/square ft. 80-25-0-15 fertilizer. Final yield on this field was 58bpa... very good considering it was standing in
water for almost a month!



<blockquote>Klause,

You can't hear the Confiscation of Wheat and Barley (CWB) folks laughing at you?

THe ethanol folks are paying at least $1/bu less than market value... right now... for ethanol wheat going through their plants... courtesy of the CWB.
</blockquote>

Let them laugh... I'm growing wheat, I'm doing it outside of CWB's grasp, and I'm getting my $5/bu at delivery...

On that subject... anyone know if you're allowed to haul "feed" wheat to the US?


<blockquote>God Damn,

Those swaths look like a 100 bushel per acre crop...

Why would a guy wanna buy land fer $2000- $3000 plus per acre, when you's kin grow crops like that on $400 per acre land???</blockquote>

Um.... What's your point? You seem to think that an expensive piece of land automatically grows good crops, while cheap land automatically grows shitty crops...
That's a very poor thought process in my opinion... there's a lot more to land values than simply land quality.

Good video,made the mistake of clicking on the ones
that come after"new era of grain prices"with two
duffus profs pointing out the obvious after the fact
stuff that profs do,but they confirmed my faith as to
how clueless the clueless are.</blockquote>

Thanks, CP.

<blockquote>and how much did you make this year klause compared to us desert fsarmers in SW Sask. Im serious dude..</blockquote>

Um... well, I did a bit better than breakeven, but poor compared to the last two years Kinda hard to compare this year though, we did have record rainfall.... Like
everyone else in the Parklands, I'm hoping for a drought.

[Klause]

Should say.... I'll do a bit better than breakeven whenever MASC sends out my cheques....

Thank God for Crop Insurance!

[Ron]

It was my computer. The kids are bored
with the holidays and messed it up
(again).
Have you grown SWS before (in a more
normal year)? How is the maturity vs CPS
or HRS?

[TOM4CWB]

Ron,

We grew Sadash side by side with Superb.

Very close to same maturity in both 2009 and 2010 crop seasons in east central Alberta.

Not sure if in Red Deer area if this would work... Foremost CPS would be a week faster no doubt. CPSRed5701 etc may be a couple of days shorter... but not much more than that.

[BTOfarmall]

Joe Who????


Yous have heard it all agin'. There is certainly nothing more to land values other than land quality. If da weather cooperates you will grow amazing crops on good quality land. Tell you what, you keep farmin that pasture/hay land & I'll keep farmin' top quality ground. Talk in 10 years, sees whos got more cash in da bank....

Klause,

"On that subject... anyone know if you're allowed to haul "feed" wheat to the US?"

If you do the CWB 'buy back' and have CWB quota for the feed wheat... you are allowed to haul to the US with in 30 days (normally) of doing the buy-back.

Last I checked the buy-back and PRO value were close. However often it costs over $12/t to get an Agent of the CWB to do the buyback... so there are costs that add up in a hurry over just the extra trucking to haul south instead of to a local elevator.

Further many times local elevators just refuse to do the buy-back at any price... cause they loose the handle/etc. from the Board grain you take south.
