SummerFallow 25% in 2017 so all the ag parasites suffer

Rock bottom did happen in the 80s after high prices. Unfortunately it took lots down when it happened. Equipment costs and land and the USA and Europe went on a save the farmer campaign and canada did shit all.
It lasted till 2008.

Okay so if you don't like smf then look at alternate crops or just reduce what you put into your crop. The wet falls financial cost needs to be passed on throughout the industry not just felt by farmers. There are too many people involved with ag that get paid very well to provide a product or service to the primary producer who have no accountability. They sell sell sell and don't give a shit! Well maybe its time they felt the pinch a little!! Its time all these so called ag experts are held to account!!!

There should be an organic farmer in your area with such poor crops that you should easily be able to buy out or take over.

Like a wise man said
The year you summerfallow you are guaranteed a crop failure

Farmers are fascinating. In 30 seconds flat you can tell how much term debt they have.

In what place and time in history did a unilateral and voluntary cohesion of completely solitary entities come about without an all encompassing pressure.

Stop being naive or some sob will start rewinding the socio economic experience we just got rid of. The (_ _ _).

I agree blackpowder. Maybe it's some on here that are inefficient and need to be weeded out. There's a lot on here that sound like generation X, ( the grain co's owe me a living, i should get paid what i think i should, i'm getting ripped off ) How many on here take more than one trip a year? Lots! How many are driving new pickups? Lots. Spoiled brats! ( Gen. X ) If you wanna sit on the sidelines while pricing opportunities pass you by, that's up to you. IT'S YOUR FAULT!! And yes we're extremely wet here, 36" to over 40" depending on land location.

This is already done. 25% of the land will not be seeded next spring as it will be flooded. Canola price is finally responding as canola will get matched in the spring including a fair bit of my crop. Dump of wet snow yesterday makes spring harvest a guarantee unless a miracle happens.

I have a feeling this crop will be coming off still, it is starting to remind me of 2009.

Don't give up, make sure you have some empty aeration bins when we can roll again to freeze tough grain.

For some there may be an opportunity starting next Thursday. Warmer and windy with lower humidity.
Right now it looks fairly dry but that could change. Very grim for most areas though.

You really are full of it SF3. Rock bottom from the 80's right through to 2008 lol, must have been most of your farming career then? Disaster the whole time eh? poor you.
So there was a "save the farmer campaign" in Europe through the 80's? must have missed that - or maybe not seeing as how there was no land price crash or agricultural reset in Europe in the 80's. You just make up the facts as you go along.

Tillage, SMF or burning black may be to answer to our disease problems, as distasteful as that may sound. The fields burnt black this spring grew beautiful lentils that stayed standing because roots and stems weren't infected. So what's so bad about a burn now and then? The ash may have disinfrctant qualities too, like adding ash to garden soil and the green bounty of Hawaii, soils laden with ash. So get your head out of your ash!
