Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[bigzee]

Surely its got to be $750 a bag now too. Book yours before its too late. Supplies limited.

Its the same cost to grow lentils as canola because guys insist on 10 applications of fungicide.

I never spray fungicide. You are just making the problem worse and it wasn't necessary this yr at all.

I’m considering peas on lentil and canola stubble.

I think you will see canola acres go lower especially in marginal areas. Too many guys in the SW thought they were canola experts until the rains stopped. Way to iffy there now and 30 bu crops dont pay the bills.

Harvest here has stalled since last Thursday.
A few going yesterday in the afternoon but high humidity set in fast again last night with light showers . Overall very little harvest done west , maybe 10 - 15% as you go east .
Lots of green canola and strippy canola still standing .
A few early canola fields off
Immature second growth has any hope of an early wheat harvest gone in most areas. Rains are starting to effect all cereals and at green peas left .
Local elevators are panicking with trains showing up and virtually no harvest done, all willing to take very tough grain if it can be taken off . Amazing how that works ....
ADM in Lloyd paying $11 canola picked up in yard .... local elevators are around $10. ..... they must be sweeping the floors ... and confirms there is not a fukin chance in hell there is a big carry over of canola - never was .

why in f$&k don't any of those rotten sons of ******* have to answer for that bullshit about a record canola crop they were spewing last fall ??? we all knew ? experts , why are you so quiet ??????

Case, let those guys sweep floors for the winter. Shouldnt be a kernel delivered until Q2-2019.

The world crop production is all coming in lower especially on major crops.

Last years bull shit was just that pure shit.

Experts don’t like to say they were wrong.

I said it was lower and people laughed.

Just like this year is a average.

Yep two years in a row the experts look like f$&king folds.

Any one can be a crop advising company telling you to pump every thing to a crop look at the big yields but when the rain stops these fools show what they are made of pure bullshit.

Harvest pressure is another joke.

Big bins and bags only harvest pressure is guys needin cash and viagra inputs taking in farmers grain.



On a positive note wow do we have a larger jackrabbit population this fall lots every swath.

Canola still grass green locally. Except where it was cooked by the hot weather and blasted all the flowers. Can see all the different soil types from the road.

Some peas being harvested by the out of town BTO, nothing else locally that I've seen.

Early wheat and barley handled the dry better than canola. Some later seeded is a disaster.

Pastures are a wreck. Community pasture already sent cows home, see some people feeding already, and a lot more that should be.

Second cut hay is almost non existent.

As we get to later seeded we have smaller pods

Just a bit of barley and peas done here. Fair bit of canola swathed. The rest needs a couple weeks to mature to harvestability. Barley guys are very happy with, in spite of looking iffy. Peas no idea, but looked real good. Hope to heck my oats are a surprise, they don’t look too great. Same with flax. Canola in the area is decent looking. For the first time, I have non green flax in August. Might be ready in September! Subsoil made this crop what it is. Need a recharge this fall, to get back to where it should be.

Pasture is dependent on management and if you have enough acres to spread out the animals enough. Not many guys who work year round anymore so not much pasture to look at. Hay was good, esp alfalfa.

Heard they are selling hay at quill lake for 130 a bale. Glad I have enough, wish I had some to sell.

Area peas all in. Some barley.
Need a week of good weather to consider wheat. Swathing canola generally.
Field I started with could be my worst in 25 years. Later seeded, a few drill issues. Wow, i can see the different soils from road.
Early seeded good stands might touch avg but i see none that are leaning.
