Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[WiltonRanch]

Our nephew is trying to sell his condo in Lonsdale to buy a blueberry farm in Nanaimo. They sell them all at fruitstands for $5/lb. It's an exciting prospect, sort of like farming in the ghetto, eh? Guess you can't take the farmer out of some of these kids. 🤗

Good on him. Hope he does well cause no matter what type of ag it is we need new entrants to keep the industry fresh with innovation and spunk.

Dessicating Lentils

Harvesting Lentils

So far Lentils coming in a little lower than expected. First 900 acres averaging about 25 expect the rest will be close to that. Rain showers every second day now. That's pretty much text book lentil harvest weather....

Canola crops around here I expect to be 25 - 30 bpa.

Durum looks good.

Barley looks to be about 30% less than last year and expecting protein to be though the roof.




Soybeans looking great loving the rain showers over the last few weeks

[sumdumguy]

I wonder if some of the growers will get their soybean seed back around here. No showers, just wind. I am surprised that they are even alive.

[Klause]

Mecalf 80 to 85, Copeland 90 plus.

Yellow peas 22
Greens 18

First lentils 38. Better ones are later a bit.

Sounds like pretty good yields to me...

[Klause]

Snow peas and cherries look to be doing well.

At least he is having fun..
Life is what you make it.
Enjoy before the busy season starts.

[SASKFARMER3]

No thats not brad thats yesterday with friends relaxing at the lake. Yes its one last rip before the silly season fall version starts. One guy i know is 11% done on 30000 acres. Peas are in the bin and now working on lentils. We start this week swathers are all ready. No we didn't sell the swather. What a useless campaign. Combines are waiting on a update and reverser for two. Who knows where best price is on grain bags.

Re: grain bags.
Have you tried Johnston's at Welwyn?
Shouldn't be a shortage this year.
Grain bags are a big part of farmer's operations who rent land from landords without bins. For us, if we were chronically short of bin space, I always thought of them as a temporary solution to a long term problem. We only rent 30, yes thirty, acres.

Crop tour up to Saskatoon yesterday proved one thing if you got one shower at the right time in July wow did it grow. If you didn't get the right shower or still haven't wow WTF.

Barley being harvested by Davidson last night strait cutting. One of our guys who posts on here.

Lots of lentils harvested and peas.

Wheat a few had swathers out making outside round.

Canola swathing taking place and other areas guys either aren't ready or going to strait cut and it looks ugly.

Peas being combined west of Blaine lake..one field of canola swathed..
Even some flax combined east of saskatoon..crop looked thin from the road..

[sumdumguy]

Get her in the bin and turn on the fans. The weather could change tomorrow and you may not get to combine until Oct. It has happened.
