Well what a run! We got to 50% done!

[Goodtime]

Guys...really?...telling a guy to downsize or just farm one quarter because of the weather? I am on the east side and not a large farmer by any means but we are in the same boat at 50%. The weather has been shit here too with every rain, fog possible hitting our acres. Come out for a drive and you will see a shit load of crop out on large and small farms.

You do realize that you are inviting comment from everyone of those specific small farmers referred to. I'd be wary about them linking your knowing their specific parcels to their names; because you may well have them in mind for your next expansion. They may get offended.

It won't happen; but they might well point out that complaining about 5900 acres (plus or minus those drowned out) still to get to; means you have a ways to go too; and you obviously have more than enough for this year at least.. More than likely those persons
have as many aspirations to be in your shoes as you have to be in their situation.

And whether "rookie" or pioneer or cellar dweller or able to live in a penthouse is pretty immaterial.

50% here roughly too. More showers today. Wheat got to 16 yesterday so took some off. The big snow a few weeks back has just killed our harvest. Crops flat down to and below the furrows has forced us to swath everything. Took a grade and now the continued wet will take another most likely. Thankfully we have had a neighbour do a few acres for us, they got hailed out on 2/3 of their crop. Fun year..... Not.

The same guys in the same cat fight again.

I'm at 2/3. The area generally the same. Most of us. Forecast implies no more dry wheat. However one neighbours records indicate %40 of the crop got harvested in October in the last 40 years. Friggin feed wheat anyway.
There isn't one person but me on this planet affected whether I get the crop off or not. Let's wait with the group cry until Halloween.

I hope you all get done. Big, small, or in between.

It is nerve racking. It also sets things back for next years start.

[Steve_Winkler]

Honestly we have probably done more harvesting in October than September most years. Usually have the wheat done though. There has been many Halloween's and we are still combining, hoping the snow doesn't fly.

Good Riddance 2014.

61 percent. In swathed wheat testing 13. 3:30 am last night. Trying for 9:45 start not sure if she will go. 2388 had to take concave out this morning to unplug. One hour job but was best way no damage. Rain forcast to start at 4pm here and pit in for 7 days. If this dont turn to snow I dont know. Area average much ahead of me some done.

Going. Continuing the hard thrash. 240 acres to pick up yet. Other wheat standing. Then canola. Or which ever dries first.

[Hopperbin]

Had to wake everyone up this morning. Time to go combine. Lol

[fjlip]

Finished Sept 26, dried about 5000 bu wheat, combined canola then wheat was dry. Guess we are on another planet this year, since Sept 6, only 13th and 14th stopped by a shower. We have lived the harvests from hell also, 2007, 2009, 2010 muddy hell, 2012 hailed with 20" rain. In 2009 most canola in area sat all of Oct, some combined dry Nov 17! But that was rare, few years without harvest stress. Most at 75% in area, everyone going hard till last night. Mother Nature rules.

Flip I think the line is moving hopefully were out of the flood zone! Your area was first! The nov harvest was fun! Short days sunlight but fun!
