Friday Crop Report!

[Hopperbin]

I thought we were off to the races without the drink. Rain can stay away. Roots need to go down. Enough humidity and moisture in the mornings for the crop.

I think one more rain, and maybe a
shower will finish this crop for me. The
soil was looking nice and healthy,
almost fluffy this week, a welcome
change from wet and greasy.

my crops are shitty but I must say
harvest is looking quite exciting.

I will let the so called
experts/analysts decipher that.

Why you guys brag about your crops on a
public forum is beyond me.

It does you nfg.

Your so called friend at the elevator is
taking notes and its not for your
benefit when he reports to head office
and gets prices for later.

Bucket what I saw on my little drive yesterday
proves guys don't really know what's out their.
When I started this thread it was to go against
sask ag and foods BS reports. Well I guess us
farmers have blinders on when it comes to our
crops. I do agree with you and elevator
companies.

But this is our Best crop in 4 yrs..So how can we NOT be Happy!!!Regardless of what we say,there is always a projection for a bumper crop from Stats Can. USDA..

Patchy is the best way to describe this
crop. Far from a bin buster.

Bucket, I am also not entirely certain why guys in light of others
troubles, post how great things are. Almost to rub it in? I dunno,
lol.

My report is that canola is a 3 to a ten, no rhyme or reason, no
difference in seeding rigs, every farmer seems to have a three and a
ten.

Cereals certainly do look very, very good. But this is in an area
which has had either no seed in the ground, or has been drowning for
the last decade, so maybe I am just not used to an actual green
crop???

Personally, my canola is iffy, but I have faith it will perform better
than it looks now. It is the one crop that does not need a perfect
start. I have had worse stuff yield fairly well. My canola failed to
cabbage much, for no real reason, IMO. One field with 140 lbs of
applied n, my "research quarter", also failed to really cabbage. The
new invigours lost their vigour. Bring back 2573, and 2663.

My wheat is good, my Canary is fairly good but late. My flax is
looking very excellent for whatever reason.

Crops here are not as great as the growing season we have had would
normally give them. I lean towards the fact of all the prior years
rains leached nutrients, or that something happened in the soil that
needs to be rebuilt after years of no O2 in the soil.

It is however oh so nice to have much smaller, or minimal drowning and
yellowed areas.

While not a real huge crop at this point, I will take it. Relative to
the last 8 years, it is shaping up much better. And things could
surprise in the end. Canola has lots of recovery time left. Its just
bolting now.

If you really think that by honestly answering
where things are at, is bragging probably need
your heads examined. If you think that most on
here would fine pleasure in someone's else's
misfortunes, you need your heads examined. If
you think that a few producers on here will be
Market changing by having an online conversation
, you need your head examined. I feel for each
and every one of you who pour your heart, soul
and cash into a business you obviously love. It is
my wish for everyone to achieve the successes
they desire.

...schadenfreude!!!! Surely not!
