So maybe crop conditions arent as good out west as some let us believe.

Are there no winch trucks in the eastern Canadian Prairies?

Funny how they can find a track hoe...

SF3... Your comment was "maybe crop conditions arent as good out west as some let us believe".

JUST IN CASE YOU CARE...My comments on our crop conditions to BP were only on the state of our crop locally...NOT S EASTERN SK/ W MB.

There's a calsmash crew sitting in Lanigan... However 1 they can't get in here. 2. I really don't wanna pay 450 an hour. 3. I work in the patch in winter. Don't want those guys anywhere close to our equipment if I can help it.


Our crops at home are improving... peas great wheat good oats good canola meh.

Holy crap that's nasty. Good luck and try not to wreck anything. Looks sloppy enough that shouldn't be a problem. I guess that's the perils of custom work or picking up some "new to you" land and not knowing the hazards. Did you have to cross the water?

I've seen pics of a sprayer pulled in half. Dig dig dig.
To the topic; I've driven the length of Hwy 21 and zig zagged both sides. That's the 'breadbasket'.
I saw very damn few poor crops. Likely close to half Canola. Looking trend line at least? Meaning, nice but not record.
About the hell that is Sask. most of us here will never know what that's like. I've never seen anything sink to the belly pan here.

Take a foot of rain after years of excess rain and you have the shit we have! That is for the reports!

Drove from Blaine Lake to Biggar. Excellent crop conditions. Big big crop coming. Drove from Leask through Prince Albert to St Brieux. Lots of drowned from standing water, but what's left is exceptionally nice, so the extra yeild will make up for lost acres.
I do not have the money or time to drive through and report on entire quadrants of Saskatchewan, but anything I have seen "around here" is on the way to being exceptional....again.

Farmaholic. Yes, I'm embarrassed to say. I did cross the water. I thought it would be better on the other side. Was like driving on top of lemon merange pie. Track hoe never had a chance to try pulling. It just sunk as soon as it got close. Lucky when I dug down 4 feet I found bottom. Pulled the mud out from in front of the tractor then pulled it into the hole and then up and out. Made a ramp and walked the hoe out too. Then put the two tractors in tandem with about 400 feet of cable and pulled the sprayer out. Took a whole day.

Glad to hear you got it out, and safely :-)

Hobby take 60 on 40% of a quarter and 20 on 20% and 40 % on nothing. How is that a balanced out crop!
That's a 27 bushel crop that they spent on 80% of a quarter before the flood! Their losing money!

Time for someone to go to the lake for a month and leave the internet behind.
Hmmmm, I'll never know what that's like.
Woes me.

[Hopperbin]

How are you marking out klause? Did you get out
Yet.

[hobbyfrmr]

Wow, Sf3 that is some rough math all right . 27 bu/ac x $10.00 is only 270/acre. If a farmer put 300/ acre into I the is short $30.00/acre. Use an round number like 3000 acres canola planted would leave a $90,000 loss.
If this really happens, some farmers are going to have to take from their savings accounts.
