Canola area

[Hopalong]

There was a time when not much ****seed was seeded in the brown soil areas of prairies.
Canola varieties, management techniques and possibly climate change have made it a profitable crop in dryer areas to the extent that Sask Crop Planning Guide 2018 lists canola return per acre over total expenses as $158.45 for brown soil, $126.28 for dark brown and $121.38 for black.
Returns are based in part on Crop Insurance five year average yield for soil zones which show a bushel or two higher higher yield for brown soils over black.
Thinking that if wheat futures prices can maintain recent gains over canola, it is time to put some canola acres back into wheat.
Not very confident recent canola yields will be maintained in dryer areas.

Lol they should run those numbers again after this year ..... lol

Could you imagine ..... for some strange reason the canola crop pulls off some outstanding yields after what’s it faced? Acres will explode!! It will be like a desert durum. Speaking of desert checked temp for today has the sun and a cactus beside it.

[bucket]

always a big crop until the bins are empty....pretty good chance that may happen this year and statscan will have to say the gig is up or will they borrow from the next crop again?

Of course the returns were higher in the wet years.

My 150 acre seeded in spring, field by fall was 120 harvested field.

No flood damage was paid because of a useless system.

So then your 120 x55 = 6600 on 150 seeded is 44

Swift Area 150 x 55 = 8250.

Isn’t math fun with numbers.

Our averages keep dropping and swift went up.

Brown soil out yielded black.


What a crock of shit with numbers.

We’re back to normal weather.

But the west side gets three years or more record crop insurance.

Great system.

Isn't it great though it takes years to build averages that reflect your farm but every farm program is based on 5 years with a 3 year Olympic average....

Why doesn't crop insurance kick out your worst yield and your highest and shorten the time frame to reflect changes in farming practices....and then go on harvested acres.

Oops they do that in the states.....

Hey including years you have no crop in your coverage
Makes the program more profitable. For the government that is.
If you have trouble because the program doesn work there is always input capital which is made up of friends of the people that want the programs to be poor. Where is input cap doing their business? In areas where major disasters have occurred more than once. They are there standing behind those farmers supporting them through the good times ahead if it
goes bad well they own more land. The people you vote foR blindly created this situation. Either hold them accountable or quit crying about it. Hahahaha

We would have better government if we voted for the best person in the riding instead of the Party....blinded by ideology....

Yes input capital is very smart I wish I would of thought of it.

How to F$&k farmers and still get the land.


My new book I’m working on.

Reality the last drought 1980s was erased for the west side. Check crop insurance those years were removed.

Who paved the way for them????
