Soy booked for 2013,

[SASKFARMER3]

Booked seed on Friday, 320 acres. Looking for
another 160 acres,canola will be 3300 not 4000.
Land worked ready for crop.
Simple rotation, 4000 cereal, 4000 canola soy,
2000 peas oats barley.
10000 acres soy from Melville to fort Qu'Appelle in
2013.
Manitoba will also see a drop in canola for soy in
2013.
Cargill will have delivery options if soy hits 10000
acres.
Canola will be down in east sask and Manitoba if
varieties keep improving.

Aren't barley and oats cereal crops?

[SASKFARMER3]

Sorry wd40 I have to break things down s l o w l y
f o r U!

Red River Valley and southern Mb will also see a major
increase in corn acres for 2013. Same as beans the
genetics are making it a profitable crop. Depending
on the rains this past year - yields in the 180 plus
range where attained. Lots of chatter on a corn
soybean rotation!

Field of corn by balgonie will be harvested soon.
Yield will be good. So yes east sask and Manitoba
will see a great change.

There is gonna be lots of soy disasters
next year too.

[ColevilleH2S]

WD your not the only one. On first read I thought he
meant three different rotations.
1 cereal-cereal-cereal
2 canola-soy-canola -soy
3 peas-oats-barley...

With some posts you have to do a bit of creative
interpretation.

[SASKFARMER3]

Wd like the canola disasters this year. Shit
varieties for way to much money.

Questions for SF3

What is the seed cost for soybeans for 320 acres?

Does the cost make it worth making the switch to them?

If you only grow 20bpa, considering costs, it would be the same as growing how many bpa of canola?

[SASKFARMER3]

As every one knows peas have been a disaster in
east sask. to much rain all year. So peas will be
less. Seed cost plus treatment twice close to 100
acre then add phos. Canola seed cost of 58 with
chem then add in 83 fert. Plus second liberty and
150 min.
Yes their are risks but every once in a while you
have to look outside of the box. Canola has been
slipping and maybe it's another option.
One guy canola soy Winter wheat, That's it for
2013 1/3 1/3 1/3.
Yield this year, 25 33 30. For the area fields.

SF3 who talked you into putting seed treatment on your beans? Waste of money in my experience. And no yield bump with adding phos with seed. Soys use alot of phos but the amount your putting down with seed wont make a diff to your reserves. IMHO!

[lakenheath]

Have u seen independant trial data on treated
beans vs non-treated beans? The difference is
unreal. With a seed so sensitive to soil
temperature, treating is a hands down no-brainier.
Seed is going to close to $100/acre this year and
u are going to cheap out on helping insure its
survival and cutting out $5/acre on seed
treatment? Very poor approach to risk managing
beans. IMHO

[lakenheath]

And SF3, curious to know which of my neighbors
you know down here?

[wd9]

The varieties are just fine. Sheesh.
