Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

Thanks for explaining it’s farming in canada if it was easy most would do it. Yea I take each year to heart I really do love what I do. The one thing I can’t control is the weather and it gets me down. Maybe that’s why I like hawaii same temp every day and we’re on the dry side of the island.

But honestly this year looked like biggest crop ever coming then the July rain got close hit a Few farms but missed a few. Funny how Mother Nature works so yea the drought helped our area a lot.

We’re back and I’m finally had a happy harvest.

Boy woodland is that crop ever green. Was that taken in the last day or so? Heavy too! My goodness it will have to lay there for a while to cure. ....hope you get a long open fall where you are.

That picture was from yesterday. It's not all that heavy and green. There's lots burnt off and drowned out areas too.



Some spots are hardly worth cutting like this hillside in today's field.

Just started the furthest along wheat and it's 22%. I guess our old POS dryer is going to have a workout this year. I said when we were seeding that I doubted we'd be combining in September....... I guess I was wrong by one day. 👍

Good grass country out there though, that's what it grows best. Sure noticed the difference when I moved down here - guys combining spring wheat in the first week of August instead of the first week of October!

Rained us out last night. Down to 8 quarters dryer cleaned greased and ready to go.

On the last 1000 acres before hopefuly the rain hits. Now just dry from last nights showers.

Those are some pretty nice swathes SF3. Started raining at 9 pm here and is supposed to switch to snow overnight. At least the rain should hold the swathes from blowing away in the 80km+ winds tonight. The barley looks dry from the road but there is lots of green seeds yet.



This field was so wet on June 15 that we floated the seed on to sprayed out fescue sod and harrowed it in. The 875 versatile couldn't pull the 50' heavy harrows ( kept sinking) so we put the 855 challenger on them and my brother would throw rooster tails when he turned. The old neighbor stopped and said "there's now way that's going to turn out!" I didn't think it was going to either but it's fenced (and along the highway of course😉) so the cows could have ate the evidence if that's the way it went.



Three passes of the harrows and you couldn't tell it was sod. Quite the crazy year.

Thanks for the updates woodland. I always travel north in Saskatchewan to visit some Relatives and friends in Nipawin then over to Hudson bay and back to Canora during the summer.

Regina didn't get that big of a rain as most is done and overcast now.

Good luck.

Finished yesterday except for a bit of red clover and alfalfa. Unbelievable year , seeding in june,done first day of october .

[SASKFARMER3]

Nice! Congratulations on Finishing.

I still can't figure out why pictures turn sideways.

[woodland]

Congrats Caseih!

Nobody is even close to finishing here and won't be for a while. Any tips for swathing canola in the snow? The kids were excited this morning at least.

At Regina Rona, some guy beside me was swearing at his Soybeans. He started combining them and said they won't yield 12 bushel an acre - but then there are a lot of acres. None look very good around here.
