How is harvest going?

[fjlip]

Guess what! Bethune Radar is down. A cow farted in the pasture.

Or a bird shit on it...must be a storm coming and it gets scared!

We are west of Edmonton and got four inches and 50 to 100 km winds since Monday morning. Lots of horizontal crops now. More runoff than the past two years combined. At least it's filling the dugouts that were starting to get low.

Nice day for Barley!

The word "farming" is a verb, not?

Harvest will happen next month, weather permitting.

Spraying standing water....nice... It has to land somewhere! Thankfully it wont end up in the water table in our lifetime.....or....will it?

2 hours of peas combined followed by three days of wet. Wheat and canola a ways out, barley could be swathed but we don't dare. Edmonton NE.

Nice day for peas , ohh ya we don't know what wet is lol
So my question is , what percentage of green peas are off ? 60-70 % ?
Of that what percent is less than 3% bleach ? 50%
So for the average planted , and now harvested say less than 50 % 2 OB on 70% harvested ?
That number not so huge now eh ??

Should get to 20% tonight. Big push with the forecast. Looks shitty. Yields are average, nothing to write home about. Hope the prices can rebound a bit but with the "monster" crop coming better sell now. Oh and you better contract some of your grain or you wont be able to move it as the guy from MJ says on the radio! Haha

[furrowtickler]

Ya forecast looks off and on yet for up to 10 days
Pule crops and cereal quality will continue to deteriorate

[Klause]

10% done.


Greenfeed baled, half the barley in the bin on air.


Peas are ready, rest of barley is too. Got 1/10 of rain so stopped for now. Hope we can go again later tomorrow.

So far got SuperB stuck on dirt road at the edge of a field... combiens and cart are staying up.


Anyone know what it costs to run 5hp fans per day?


Guess we will find out. Have 6 going already.
