Well not the week that I expected but with sadness this weekend we will say good bye to my father-in-law on Saturday.
A fellow farmer who enjoyed very much what he did with a work ethic to get the job done and done right. Then on time off enjoy because its just a farm. Life goes on rest in peace.
Friday crop report.
By Friday night we should hit the 50% mark. Looks also like last third will be done in October.
Well rain and rain and rain last week slowed us down considerably. The Canola was just dry on Sunday afternoon and most guys did get going. Standing was no earlier. No one is talking Ag but Ag has lots of questions.
Hrs we got in to the next round yesterday as on our farm wheat is harvested then we worry about canola. Canola goes through a combine like shit through a goose if its rotten straw so let it rain on it.
Yields on next go round are up their with the best and still has some color and standing nice.
Canola funny how timing of the first real rain can make a difference of 4 to 7 bushels. Could of used a good shot a week earlier. Oh well yield is awesome and were very happy.
Peas are all done in area.
Sorghum is drying down will be interesting to see how it does.
Soy is dropping leaf and filling real nice have a few 4 pods and for us that's good. Should seed thinner next year but definitely make the ground black does work for soy.
Barley is all done except one guy just finishing last night.
Oats a few have swath and one guy harvested his early oats yields came back up but not his best. Our late looks better than it did all year time will tell final results as it might be harvested Sunday.
Most have Durum off but no yield data or grade.
Flax if its clean and had a great start is awesome if dirty and thin then maybe crop insurance it looks that bad.
Every farmer out their take care and be safe and remember the ones at home are way more important than any crop that no one wants to pay for. Food is cheap in this world and we do all the work for the lowest pay of the chain.
Have a great week and lets get it done.
