Funny Australia going Balls to Wall Canada Up just a bit.

Tale of Two Countries. Mallee vs SF3 Canola war 2017 acres.

Canada
Canada's oilseed production is forecast to rise modestly in 2017/2018 to 25.3 million tonnes, up 1% from 2016/2017, driven by a small increase in canola production and expected yields, says the USDA attache. Total crush is forecast to drop by 4% to 10.5 million tonnes from the 2016/2017 anticipated crush levels of 11 million. The canola crush forecast is down 377,000 tonnes in 2017/2018 with no increase in production expected.

Australia
Australian canola plantings set to explode. Nick Goddard, executive director of the Australian Oilseeds Federation (AOF) said while his organization has not yet put out an official forecast, he expected farmers in NSW and Western Australia in particular to be big planters of canola. “There have been good summer and early autumn rainfall over large areas of these two states,” Goddard said.

I kind of agree Canada Cant find any more places to grow the acreage since were now all way west to Mountains and South to USA border. Canola snow canola snow canola snow usually leads to RB Auction.

If weather cooperates prairie soybean production will be up substantially

I agree canola-steady

[SASKFARMER3]

I think guys will do the normal. but if we go back to normal weather some will see what 12 BPA canola really is and how its light as shit. Just saying wet years make it a easy crop to grow any where. If we finally get back to normal. Production in Canada could be way down.

[samhill]

SF3, I think maybe the new normal is much more precipitation than years ago b/c of minimum tillage.
Take the Great Plains area from 1/2 dark soil surface to almost none, and then add in that moisture begets moisture, it's a new ballgame.

[SASKFARMER3]

The new process of seeding is nice we all adapted some of us way longer than others 1981 first notill.
Just saying I don't think the new seed and seeding method will save some from drought you still need water from the sky. Cycles come and go this one has extended quite a while longer than I thought.

Seen 20 canola and durum turn over a two day period with hot Arizona wind making it all way to NE sask.

Some of you have never seen a drought and can't understand.

Rain quits. You can look at sky all you want it just doesn't appear.

Sort of like the fricking rain clouds now I deal with no it can't rain again here you go another 2 inch down pour.

We're in sask Alberta and Manitoba farming is controlled by the weather.

if you keep saying this every spring sooner or later you may end up being right.Farming practices and seed varieties have came a long way since the last dry stretch.When it happens again impact on crop yields will not be as severe.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes I say it every year but when it changes and it will I for one don't believe the present varieties and seeding practise will save farms.

We're over wet, I don't like it but we are adapting changing shit all the time to beat the excess moisture some works some not so good.

Time will tell but normal would be nice for some o us.

you said your weather is totally normal I a previous climate change thread.Which is it?normal or not?

Not easy to grow canola here in wet years with 42 inches rain

[the big wheel]

Sask you sound like one of those credit department desk jockies?

Tell us all your secret to seeding expecting wet that May end up being too dry? Where you ve managed to lessen the effects of 40 inches of rain or 2 inches of rain. Hahahaha man you re proving what I said about bulllshittin the bullshitters. HHahahahahaha

[malleefarmer]

Gross marginwise its up there with most profitable crops in secure areas.

Will give you a run down on my ranch.

Currently doing a summer spray 1lt glypho and garlon at 80ml per ha.

Then when rains come another 1 lt glypho and possibly hammer.

Maybe grammoxone and treflan in front of seeder. 1/2 simazine applied.

Stone roll rocks.

Canola sown farmer kept seed first generation sown 2 to 2.5 kg treated with gaucho per ha then other half of simazine applied with cosmos insecticide.

A blend of map/soa fert 50 50 mix applied at 50kg

Post seeding 50 kg soa usually 3 to 4 weeks after seeding.

If season warrants it another 50 kg urea and 2 to 3 weeks.

Grass herbicide select at 400ml per ha.

Dessication 2l glypho

Direct head

Sell currently 505 port which equates to 470 plus on farm.

Yield not sure in bushels but hope for around 1 t ha

Better areas similar programme except more fert and maybe 2nd grass spray yield 2 to 3 tonne per.

I have 560 ha going in .

[malleefarmer]

Some guys use Clearfield types

[Guest]

Some guys use Clearfield types

Which canola varieties can you use your own seed ?

[SASKFARMER3]

Big wheel if you had half a f$&king brain you would realize I farm in east ne sask where the last 15 years plus have seen summer rain almost double. So yes we have adapted and changed things to combat this excess shit. Drought is not a problem here even 1961 or 80s.

I'm just saying as we have had to adapt to wet some who never have seen dry but their fathers and grandfathers have might have to adapt. The new varieties were bred in wet years and direct seeding is only as good as summer rain and snow replenish.

Water heat sunshine is needed.

Sucks telling the truth but it's a reality in western canada, wet dry wet cycles have always been happening since the first buffalo walked here!

[the big wheel]

Instead of insults tell us these plans that you do prior to seeding that accommodate both wet and dry possibilities?

What do you do that's so smart to out do nature? You sound like our dim witted crop insurance.

And I farm mostly drought. So if live to know do I maybe flip the bean seeds in one side or the other to lessen the drought. Hahahahaha
