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

What savings account? After the last 5 years of which 1 maybe 2 were good its tough to put much money away when we are always in recovery mode. Next year will be a recovery year if we are lucky. Sick and tired of pumping hundreds of thousands into the ground just to breakeven or lose money.

Maybe if we pay more freight we'll make more money.

Hobby take your 10 down to 9 and who seeds the whole farm to canola throw in wheat at 4 x 27 = $108 plus your 270 divided by 2 = 189 - 300 expenses the farmers are only losing 111 an acre! God do you live in the city and not farm!
Thus is a huge fricking loss!

I think there are some exceptional crops in north west (?) area of Sask. Last year The farmers had a huge yield, about 35% more than usual. It looks to me like a carbon copy recipe so far. Maybe these guys will only break even...they could use the money. There are some very large, efficient, low cost producers around here so the economies of scale are in favour.

Hobby, they're not as low cost as they lead on. Do you farm between krydor and hafford?

AgriStability for some. SF3 , I feel your pain. In the 80's droughts, we were just like you, except Lentils pulled us through. Therefore my poker name is "Lentil". Too bad so many Lentils are wiped out this year.

I farm in rms of Blaine Lake and Leask. The Krydor guys farm some beside me in Leask RM. Then the hutterites in Leask rm goto farm some land in the Krydor area.

Hobbyfrmr what were you smoking when drove to St. Brieux or did you make the drive in the dark? I just took a drive from St. Brieux to Melfort and it is a disaster. Quarter after quarter of Canola that likely won't fill a tandem truck at harvest time. Stunted wavy yellow cereals a foot tall that are heading. Quarters of Canola along highway 368 with 80-90 acre patches drowned out. Absolutely no way the remaining foot tall Canola growing in these fields is going to yield over 80 bushels an acre to make up for the lost acres. 8 bushels maybe.

Hopper we got er out.

Thanks to a couple large hoes.

Can't give much for details... just a couple construction guys who were bored came to help
