Friday Crop Report!

[Braveheart]

We have 300 acres of canola left to harvest. Last night very tough to put through we had fog till noon yesterday. L252 canola when conditions are tough is like combining barb wire. Not complaining too much though as last nights canola was probably averaging 70 bus/acre.

Wheat harvest done last week and we are now assessing quality. Protein is averaging 14.7, but there is some mildew. Basically zero fusarium. We'll have to see if mills will overlook the mildew. We'd like to check falling numbers as well.

Cows grazing alfalfa as second cut here didn't happen with unco-operative weather. It's making good pounds on the calves.

Re grown ryegrass stubble is going to be fantastic late season grazing for a long time if the snow stays away.

Some ryegrass seed has moved to processor. Canola contracts are filled. Wheat is binned waiting to assess quality.

New anti depressants are being ordered. Current prescription can't keep up with Saskfarmer 3's posts.

Hey stuck in a flat waiting on the pull tractor! Long belt real long belt! Just tired of bull shit from all sources in ag! Tired of hearing about big usa crop that froze! Australian big crop that has issues! Great crops in Europe thats shit food quality! And so on and so on! Throw in if you give it everything it has to give you a return from industry! Ot the price of Chemicals or Fert or seed or equipment has to go up for us to survive as a company but you stupid farmer grow the shit for nothing because it's your duty to supply us the pigs with cheap food! Oh my outside voice! Pull tractor arrived were out now on with my day! Risking our lives so pigs get fat! Cheers like Tom says! ah shit I dropped my Mickey!

And one good day of threshing yesterday and today down with rain!!!!!,

[blackpowder]

Oh ya, and I know the adjusters won't come today. They can only come when your on the combine and need you to go with them!!

[tubs]

I might as well grow peas slow going. wheat is dry but flat on the ground like a pancake 100 acres a day with 2 big combines

[Hopperbin]

One local here parked the straight headers couple of them and swathing in front of combine. Get more done. Works for them.

Same here hopper...

[TOM4CWB]

Same here hopper... will leave one seed wht field to straight cut... is standing well...

I do not know where all the N came from to feed our crops. Must have been that August 6 hail storm... dropped N as well! A blessing with the pain!

Cheers!

Tom, which variety is standing the best for you? We've been growing Shaw and it isn't too bad except if it is overfed(probably like anything else). But we grew it and Lillian in the recent past but found the Shaw appeared more susceptible to fusarium(but wanted the midge tolerance). It seems you have to pick which battle(fusarium, sawfly, midge, blah blah blah) you want to fight because no one variety is a silver bullet.
