Friday crop report!

[SASKFARMER3]

Winter wheat is having a little bit of a problem
coming up. Top 1 inch is dry and hard.
Durum done bellow average to average.
Hrs most early done 3 to 2 high protein fuss and
ergot main down grade factors. Yield average to
odd one just above no 60 s any where. 30
common.
Barley a total total shit show 45 tops 20 low and
it's not plump 29 % . Ugly.
Peas 5 to 30?
Canola 6 to 25 to 28 late very good best 35. Most
sick with their canola early seeded is by far worst.
But late aren't getting great reviews either.
Oats coming in average to above, should have
mudded in that flooded quarter extra.
Lots of fall work happening, one thing seeing lots
of tandem disced or cultivated fields besides
heavy harrowing. Deep till ages are coming out of
retirement.

Sask3. How did the red army's floated on canola
turn out?

[SASKFARMER3]

The red army didn't, I believe broad ass never did
in the end. One guy did it didn't turn out to good .
We never did this year either.

[SASKFARMER3]

Actually I just remembered one guy did on the
reserve. Lemkine machine then floated and
harrowed. Looked ok but they swath to green so
could have done better

Our Wheat 34 to 43, 1,2& 3.
Lots of wheat in 20's after standing got wind shattered.
Shattered oats looks awful.
Canola swaths a mess, everyone lost 5-10 bu/acre.
Our early seeded 20, last after wind from hell, only 27.
Barley in area as low as 20, max I heard 50.

ground hard as a rock here, could be the
reason for all the discing? my small POS
deep tiller wont even go in the ground
with 6" sweeps just skids on top until it
catches then she goes down about 6" and
pulls up big blocks of packed dirt. Might
have to wait for rain, or pull out disk.

Finished canola 24.85 bpa... total acres
divided by total bushels delivered to
Viterra and Richardson... Have about 10
ac left standing that I gotta thrash.

Working on barley.. was an amazing
crop... then the wind hit. Went from 80
bpa to 40 - 50.

Wheat looks good.


Flax looks awesome.

Yes, late out here... finished MB a week
ago.

furrow nice to see some one had a great
crop. Also nice break down of what you
saw and which varieties did OK or awesome. Also each area is different
like you said, in your area what you
stated worked. After harvest Ill break
down what our tests showed. One thing I
can agree on right now the top up micros
were a total waste of cash. One note a
very strong fertilizer program maybe
helps to, that's why were not seeing any
bounce. Two sections left of HRS and
were on to custom combine north of us.
