Well were into harvest now boys.
Heavy rain storm last night will stop
the process today. Would have finished
the God Damn Peas today and been done
forever with them. I remember years ago
friend in Melfort said we get to much
rain to grow them and their not worth
it. Well As with lentils were done with
peas. One note dont over guess your
production with contracts. We almost had
to buy out contract because cant deliver
enough product delivered seed plus our
carryover. Peas will be crop insurance
or wildlife damage due to Geese. Where
the little buggers didnt get 40 where
the little buggers did eat 0. They ate
huge areas one field we finished a few
days ago was black with ducks geese and
mudhens last night. Its time for a cull.
HRS would harvest a early quarter today
but again heavy rainfall last night put
that in the ditch. Spraying is starting
on most early Durum and HRS, Winter
wheat harvest is just about over with
yields in 60s, lots of straw nothing in
head, Politician wheat.
Durum we will start spraying today if
can keep a sprayer on top of the ground.
Barley lots of early fields in district
are being harvested, ones who pushed got
most done and swaths were picked up.
Ours is later seeded and needs 10 days
till swathing. Thicker but needs time.
Oats is starting to fill and moving up
on the scale looks good. Just realized
if I would have put all our pea acres
into oats would be another 200,000. in
my pocket. Oh well screw ups do happen.
Canola is being swath and most are in
full mode crop has issues with
sclerotina and twisted and lodged and
aster yellows and basically its a big
fluffy swath of shit all. Will fit the
platform on the pickup and trickle in.
Later looks awsome, those who tried two
apps of disease control now have a new
problem, the crop is still flowering
(yea I said flowering) or just shutting
down. It is thick that deer and moose
dont cross those fields but needs till
mid sept to even come close to making
it.
Yields that we have heard of or seen.
Peas 10 to 30 to shitty land yield of
41.
Winter wheat 60 and down.
Barley 59 to 65.
HRS west of us 40.
Canola none harvested yet.
Oats none harvested yet.
Also one note seems its a over zealous
real estate agent that has created all
the increase in land values in our
district. Telling all these guys he has
buyers for thousands of acres latest
offer is 249,000. for SHIT. Funny thing
it seems all of the major sales from the
past winter have F A I L E D> Calgary
big wig didnt come true just rented
farm. Chinese group of buyers promised
the world and came back with half the
money. Chinese Doctor cant find, all
emails returned owner cant locate. AH
life as we know it is back to what it
should have been. Oh yea one sale did
take place young man who purchase the
three. Funny locals can make good yet
when farmers sell they need a Real
Estate agent to help them.
