Harvest Weather

[farmaholic]

R.H. was 18% at on point at Regina on August 21. Had to quit swathing canola(kinda got ahead of us) Looks like there could be a soggy spell here this weekend too.

Have three Barley that needs to be in the bins before it hits. Swathing is just day or two ahead of the curve. Last 10 quarters are straight cut this year so far so good.

Dry as F#$K out on the ranch.

Last rain this Sunday morning will be 35 days ago.

Oh so you wet then ... lol

If it does rain I think it will be shit showers here.
Ground is very dry...
Is rain too late for soybeans? Is there any signs of drought or color change of the plants? Haven't seen any around here lately to assess. Do they scavenge for moisture as good as the scavenge for phosphate?

Looks like i will be sacrificing the lentils for the soybeans....

****ing HEAT ...doesn't speed **** all up....now the excuse is environmental factors...

BTW something is up in the lentils market???? small moves but the right way....pricing on the way up...small amounts...

My market prediction...20 cents buys a lot of red lentils.....I will be out at 19.75....

Ready or not here it comes



10 day precip forecast

Ready or not here it comes!

[farmaholic]

We only have one quarter of wheat to go, its not quite ready. If we can get by tomorrow's probability we should have it off before Monday's greater chance of rain.

Every thing else will be moisture proof but not WIND proof!

Weather...we, in Ag, are ruled by it.

32 degrees @ 22% RH todwy...We started combining some wheat that we started SWATHING last Sunday. It(the whole field) wasn't "dead ripe"...the low patches were still a shade of light light green. Some "uncured" kernels in the sample but nothing a day or two on aeration won't equalize with the dry stuff. Ya, I know, I'm a swathing hillbilly.

Finished picking up our swathed wht from last Sunday.
16.5 was the dryest it got.
But it's number 1.with 13.1 protein..in case it does rain..

Now where is that premium we should be getting for steel desiccated wheat. I will sign a declaration. They made us pay for a Triffid test in flax. They took value when they could measure and find fusarium/DON in cereals in "PPM"....everyone is willing apply a discount but not GIVE a premium.

September can be a "seasonal transition" month, summer to fall, which can make harvest tricky. August always seemed to me to be typically hot and dry. But then there's always October...

Every harvest season delivers a different set of weather conditions.

Good luck everyone and be safe.

You can work that out with your buyer. It's in the basis! :-)
