This is a good topic because what will pay the bills in 2018 if the current high priced every thing doesnt change 2019 could be even worse.

Sharp pencil is needed.

The last time we didn't seed some fields was because they were flooded.

At this stage of my career there is no way I am not seeding. I will qualify that by saying we do have 1 to 1.5 feet of soil moisture. Below that is dry. I don't know where the moisture starts again further down then that.
Another qualifier is that I don't even know the name of the loans manager at the bank. That helps

You can pencil all you want, only when Mother Nature is done playing her last card in the 2018 game will we know what we need to be profitable.

.....best laid plans of mice and men.

Use the best information at your disposal but be prepared to adjust your expectations.

How do you think alfalfa pencils out on average?

For bales or for seed?

See sask has malt barley i cant speak for you guys but malt is pretty well off the radar here.
Hard to get the grade and feed types yeild sometime 15% more to make up for price shortfall.

H2 wheat here yesterday 11.5 to 13% protien hit $303 delivered packers for container trade.
$20 haul to port good money
