    Saskfarmer3's 10 day window

    Just got extended another 5 days.
    Looks like even hopper will get done harvesting now, 4.5 quarters of canola to go. Canola still testing 13 really don't know why, I guess it was later planted and not a good laying swath, closer to the ground, invigor health not yielded great like neighbors but OK. I breathed the minus 12 air this morning. She is gonna have to be Jamaica for the workers and their partners. Anyone else want to come? Hey is Jamaica mostly Canadians like in Mexico??? Could use a female partner or several that likes playing beach volleyball hehe.

      Looked at the forecast and took the weekend off for the farm show, hockey and being a dad. 80 acres left finally dry so just like a holiday to finish up monday or tuesday. I cant believe how the weather changed, it was worth the wait?
      I was in Venezuela a couple years back and noticed rum is spelled ron there so I drank my weight in it (a considerable amount at that time), it is made with sugar cane and is cheaper than gatorade (if you ever go down take gibsons or crown royal as a gift, import taxes make it worth about 10 times the price of good rum, if you can even find rye)

        So today we harvest our last field of canola. It was reseeded because of the dam frost in june or fricking 8 days of frost. Seeded on june 15 and harvested on Nov 15. The frost on 4 quarters did rob us of about 10 to 20 bushels an acre rest after that was fine. Should have started seeding canola two to three days later. Get er in early they tell us f86!k you. In the north it should be after the 12 of may or later. Any way it is testing 12 and green contedt is up. But yield will be better than the three we didn't reseed. Today will tell the tail. Then 200 acres of oats. Standing twisted heavy mess. Yield should be high but lots of seed loss. That's tomorrows fun. Well I called it a 10 day window and its here. Most will finish in our area only three of four large guys have crop out. Two more fun days since after the canola today I am going home to have fun with the kids tonight.

          Sask, that canola only took 5 months, our wheat took 6 months in the field! Oats seeded June 25 looks like could happen on Wed, plus 7. Seed good but straw green. 99% done in area, but lots of tough canola bins to dry and monitor. We are finishing drying today.
