Lots of guys saying they are done some tough but have to take it at whatever it is. They have places that are booked for 1st part of Nov for the winter.

Dad and I finished up a week ago. For starting on Aug 12, 7 rain delays took their toll. Neighbor should be done in a day or two. Last night on my way to Fort sask I seen 2 combines rolling out swaths north of hanna, a swathe going south of Killam, and 4 or so combines grunting west of Killam.

Lots of flax left. But there is every year.

Mostly canola left. Some standing and some swath.

We are down to 1200 acres or 1000 canola and 200 oats. Dryer going to be busy today. North of us still crops out but were all getting close.
Didn't need the shower that went through the other day. Fricking rain.

Still have almost all of my canola out. Made the mistake of trying to straight cut and now it won't dry down. Won't even quit flowering. Like freewheat, getting worried. Lots of swathed canola still out in the area too. Most other crops done.

My situation is due to five factors:

Hail hit a third of my land, delaying maturity badly. While others were able to go, I was waiting on green regrowth.

Seeding timing vs. the type of crop planted. I simply got unlucky with when I seeded what for whatever reason.

20% of my farm is faba beans. I am not worried about them, but they are still out there.

I have had the year of the breakdown/getting stuck. I have lost four excellent harvest days, due to stupid breakdowns. Many hours due to getting stuck. You can't use preventative maintenance to stop a bolt from breaking which in turn causes other failures!

And finally, it is cool and damp, which is pretty normal these days. We got four tenths on Tuesday. Before that, we had MANY rain outs.

I have got what I combined dry so far as well, but I have no air bins or a dryer. I honestly have not talked to a farmer around here who has done much dry, it simply took forever for the grain to dry naturally. If this areas farmers had no dryers, I would imagine the area complete would be 20% at best.

It ain't over, but the fat lady is cracking her knuckles. It would be pretty devastating to not get the rest of this crop...

At this stage custom combines?
