Some on here won't know what I'm talking about because a little hail storm or a little flood once in a century but after years of dealing with high moisture your game plan changes daily!
You don't worry about top dressing or what's right you do what's best for you to survive.
And after the weekend rains that's on the agenda today.
Acres are lost this much water on saturated fields sits and drowns out crops. These crops don't magically come back their gone.
All the expensive chemical, seed and fertilizer won't help you out when Mother Nature deals you a shitty hand.
Hearing this morning commercials for fusarium and how we should protect our selves.
F$&k them it's survival time. The plants that are sprayed with aceppella will deal with leaf disease and piss on any thing else.
Top dressing to help with leached fields yea like that's going to happen in mud.
Simply what I'm getting at is the 2014 east Sask. crop and Manitoba is in dire shape, 100 to 175mm on top of what we were blessed with so far this year just puts the nail in the 2014 crop.
It's like the frost year and all the talk from experts, don't worry it was just a little frost.
Sitting in a office thousands of mikes away is not hands on. Driving looking and getting your boots muddy and hands and knees tells the real story.
Evaluating what happened up till now and how much you will eventually harvest then change the plan to reflect the new reality.
Yes getting out of some contracts may be necessary since your whole production might be a fire sale prices now. Peas and lentils and canola and even wheat oats and barley and peas.
Why I say fire sale Canada is way behind in prices compared to world even if the world price is dropping we are below that.
Ropes ( not to hang your self) for fall for pulling and how to get trucks down certain roads etc.
Big evaluation day not going to be fun. Be safe it's just a F$&king Crop!
