dry harvest?

[Klause]

Soo.... are we going to get decent weather or will we have to slug everything thru the combine?

When Mother Nature opens then door and tells you to go "hard" or go home, you better go hard, thengo home. :-) Right Hopper

I dunno. Showered here yesterday morning, forecast was sunny and 21. It was cloudy and 10. Today was nicer, but the humidity was insane. Hardly anyone did anything today. Tomorrow more clouds and a chance of rain, so who knows. Forecast looks too good to be true. It probably therefore is. Grrr.

[Braveheart]

Our forecast was clear. Out of nowhere a cloud appeared and dumped on us.

We took a scouting drive and saw it hadn't rained a quarter mile south, so away we went.

Forecast for next week is not great. Sorry Klause. Gotta slug it I fear.

Peas in a 2200 nu air bin went from 16.7 yesterday to 17.2 today... how is that even possible.


Shut down. Burnt thr brayer drive belt off the combine. There goes another 250 bucks.

Braveheart, where abouts are you? With 70 bpa canola and no fusarium, i want to farm beside you!!

[Braveheart]

Haha well, the canola yielding like that is a 100 piece that received hog manure. 5'7" tall. Really hard to swath and combine. Tough, green straw. The rest of the 320 acres average is mid 50's.

We got lucky on the fus. Good timing with fungicide.

Our farm is near Killarney, MB. As I said in an earlier thread, it used to be God's country. Now it's just the Bible Belt with shitty weather.

When I say lucky on things, I mean it. 15 miles west, east or north of us is muck.

[Hopperbin]

What is farmaholic talking about? Go hard eat ***** hard. Hopefully your at home when done. I know air is useless lately klause did you run it through the fog. Anyways how do you check a bin anyway. Top will get more moist bottom dryer. How do you know?

Keep burning the propane or N gas..Wheat is stuck @ 16.1..and will not move lower...Straw is tough..slow grinding...

Braveheart I like your description.
We use to be gods country now were just the bible belt with shitty weather.
Have to use that one. Describes our area to a T

[SASKFARMER3]

F$%K just checked the radar a shower brewed up about a hour a go and got our area. So much for two days in a row in harvest 2014. Maybe it was a light shower. HA HAH HAHAHA

[Braveheart]

Glad you enjoyed, SK3. I like it when people laugh.

[farmaholic]

Braveheart, then you would have liked my peas because they were a joke.....

[fjlip]

Even canola that was 7%, stuck at 9% all day. Wheat at 16 is all being combined in the area for fear of winter coming. HUMIDITY is a curse this whole year!
F*ck we ALL need a DROUGHT!

[bucket]

I would love a drought. Could get me some cheap acres. The acres I haven't farmed in 5 years that produce. Been under water.
