2017 crops

[Hopalong]

Now that we should have a more accurate estimate on 2016 production, time to focus on next year plans.
Corn futures say ten per cent increase in price, soybeans flat and ethanol price down but hogs up.

On input side, nitrogen price is down and land rent costs look to stay same.

Got normal amount of winter wheat seeded, anticipate similar percentage of canola and barley as past few years for 2017.

I think there will be allot of rice planted in the combine ruts.

[Partners]

Way less acres seeded because of current flooded fields.
Probably more bly and oats because of late seeding date.

Less lentils after this years Lessons learned

[bgmb]

Beans will explode in non traditional areas of mb as well as se sask. Peas will be down in mb, too wet. Soy will eat up wheat ac and some canola ac

[riders2010]

If it's wet next spring seeding barley is a waste of time. We tried that twice Mudded it in, it came up nice but the next inch of rain and it was gone yellowed right off.

[Partners]

True on the bly. But unless we have a very early..hot April..we will be seeding in June for sure..
Wheat will be non existent..unless we seed all canola?

[Partners]

With the current water level.even if fields dry up next spring..1 inch of rain and they will look like they do right now.

Screwed.

[newguy]

Less lentils more peas.more canola less flax.durum stay the same.

[SASKFARMER3]

Wall to wall the retarded sister.

Ok really if it snows any amount our acreage will be down as fields are wet to saturated. Snow will add moisture to already wet fields.

So back to square one 2010.

Peas suck in water canola sucks in water, and barley doesn't like wet feet.

Wheat if it gets a start will do ok and soy some how does better. Real big soy yields locally so acreage will be up.

[may-be]

In 2010+2011 soy was the only crop that I did not loose money on, plus it kept my land clean. No brainer here what I'll be growing if we have a repeat.

Unless HOT DRY WINDY April, none of the choices will pay, unless crop insurance, don't bother seeding after June 10. Those that never seeded in 2010 were much better off. Our yield on what was seeded in 2010, 17 bu wheat, 14 bu canola, and a fight in the mud like this fall, but in Sept. Applied N first and never seeded a third of those acres. Compaction in 2010 choked yields, too wet, stay off. The HUGE neighbor has a 1000 acres anhydrous-ed in mud.

[SASKFARMER3]

2010 was a huge wreck and we aren't going to fall for it again. Seed fields that are somewhat dry and concentrate on those. The rest don't just spray. rip and make SMF. Playing in the mud sucks.
Been their done that never again.

[Hopalong]

Every farm and field is different, best to wait for spring to decide not to seed.
Still optimistic on own farm, trying to stay flexible.
