Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[sumdumguy]

Why not swath it instead of spraying? All our lentils are tested for export glosphate-free because Europe will not tolerate Monsantified lentils. There's a good reason not to abuse labels - not to mention the fact that we are having to eat that grain.

Well on my farm wheat that green sprayed Friday and on Monday you wouldn't be able to shell out a sample without flattening the seed.
So good for you...... I guess?

Big wheel.

I took heads into the house friday like i always do before a major decision on spraying in fall.

Yes they sat on my shelf in my office.

On monday i shelled them out in my office and thats the sample. So i took the sprayer out and shut down a 1000 acres yesterday. The fields had spots like the one in the picture in 20% of the fields but the other 80% is ripe and ready to go. Uneven this year.

Again its rather simple.

Swath is a option but why not get superior weed control and even out the crop and get a better grade because one of these days the rain will return and the geese will definitely love a swath crop to eat and shit on.

Also after harvest these fields are ready to work low areas as all grass and cattails are dead. Cleaning fields for next year and getting land back after the shit show rain years. Thats the priority.

Plus beat the first frost that I'm thinking is coming in the next week to the 6th of Sept.

So you got that sample from the ripe part right?

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea sure thats how it works.

Really.

[the big wheel]

Yes I see simple you're foregoing 20% of your field yield. Which by that picture anyway it looks like a lot more than 20% but anyway then will you complain about the yield?
If it were as big an area as it looks to me I d at least square that out. But that's just me I need all those areas to make it work.

[the big wheel]

Anyway we ll keep this thread and by God we better not hear you complain about how you're getting graded if you include the pepper from that 20% in your whole sample. Hahahahaha

We farm next to the slum of the ghetto. In southern sask. If you saw the dirt blow like I did here this spring. You would park your Kelly harrow for good. One guy north of us just harrowed his canola stubble. The wind was so strong it got the canoala stubble moving and took the whole field. Some guys here won't even harrow this year after the mess the wind made this spring.

I have never swathed wheat and never will. I've seen wheat sprouting in the swath too many times. Just not worth the little bit of savings to risk my whole crop geting destroyed sitting in a soggy swath that never dries out.

Caserd where do you farm? Just curious in our part of the county this shit would have green areas till first frost. [ATTACH]2038[/ATTACH]

I'm a long way south of you. It's amazing how green that field is for 105 days. We clearly farm in different climates and we're only about two hours apart. Did some of that wheat come up when it rained? Here I combined Brandon in 105 days with no glyposate and a lot of green in the field. I had some wheat come up in the June rain we had. Judging on my yield in the south I'm willing to bet you those fields make well over sixty.
