Well what a week of freezing temps and then we get a break Monday and Tuesday. Man Tuesday was like harvest should be machines going every where in our area and even back all way to Regina. Then Wednesday woke up to fog, oh don't worry it will burn off, yea it did at two in the afternoon and it turned to mist. Every thing was tough again last night. So again most only got one to two days this week. We have a dryer so Monday we went but really only Tuesday was a harvest day.
Were at 9 percent completed. All peas are worked down ready for next spring.
HRS strait cutting is taking place on fields sprayed 21 days ago. Last week round up worked very slow from the week before that was sprayed. Swathing in area but the Geese are having fun. Late got hit with bran frost and some really late are a nice white. Fuz is causing some problems and guys are worried.
Peas are mostly done or guys left to take crops that actually will give them a chance. Peas went flat and if their shit their shit. Didn't magically make a decent crop. If it walks like a duck and talks like a Duck its a duck. Or you need to go check your self in cause you think a duck talks. Peas in the most part are F45ked. Lots wont be growing next year due to something in soil. Or is it just because we cant catch a break on to much rain.
Soy, my little fellers had a rough week, Cold frosty and then killing frost. To cold for to long. Funny we needed one more week to get a stupid yield. Will have to harvest since soy did make seeds but out of 20 or so pods their are 12 that will have two to four seeds. One week away from a great crop. Will seed earlier next year. Seed a little thinner, but I feel this is a crop to replace peas in our area.
Barley the early that's swath has issues with Geese and wet swaths. Early standing is breaking heads and short. Late had frost and will be lighter. So barley for malt might be hard to find. Rumor is the USA barley crop sucks.
Oats the early seeded is very nice but is approaching that get it harvested or will start loosing seeds do being to ripe. Late is thick also but will be lighter with frost.
Flax is their on some fields but not on others. Still looks like a crop but no where near last years yields.
Canola is lighter smaller seeds and thinner than last year. Most is swath except guy who seeded in June 25th it is dead because it was still flowering. Normal seeded is ready to go as soon as weather breaks.
So to sum up the week again one day harvesting. Ground is wet with water laying in fields. Yields are real easy its no F$%king 2013. Its not like 2010 but really the best way to describe the crop is a drag race. You take off at 0 to 66 and back again in a quarter mile.
Tough to get a big yield when you have zero spots.
Also farmers if you give a crop every thing I mean every thing from fert for 66 bushel a acre to seed treatment to best sprays for weeds and disease and bugs mother nature still determines your yield in Canada. Just because you went by the book your not always rewarded. Week of hard rain at flowering probably F$%ked up more yield in our canola than we thought.
Its a crap shoot and some years you win and some you get shit on. Welcome to getting shit on. Lesson 1 oh 1.
Have a great week looks like the weather will hold. (ha ha Ha like talking tom and Environment Canada), But the most important part its just a F$#King crop so be safe and enjoy.
