Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[walterm]

Something is up with the railroads already as our Canola contract for early sept is now delayed till last week of September. The games are starting as cars are not showing up.

New bin site and bins will be built in 2019 size of bins are still in question. 50000 or 25000 or 30000. or the stupid cost is 17000 hopper bins. Wow, are they overpriced?

Not to worry there is a round table meeting on right now.

We are not screwed yet. The fields are not saturated and will hold the trucks.
The balls should come off the monkey this week. So a warm dry wind in October should get going easy.......

Any round table meeting with railways involved should be referred to as a circle jerk.

Railways are falling behind in September during a year where the southern prairies have been talking drought all year?

Oil shipments are breaking records.

This is setting itself up for a backlogged shipping winter especially after the northern prairies and Peace River region get the crop off.

Hard to understand when so very little crop has been taken off yet in a huge area . Elevators here can’t even fill the trains coming in , and won’t for at least 7-10 days yet . So really , wtf is going on other than oil ? Buffet be dancing in the board room lol

Case ... do you use the slotted concaves for canola as well ? We bought two .
And yes that gentleman knows his stuff , we were very impressed with everything so far .
What is sad that our local dealership knew nothing of these Mad concaves, and also did the eye roll thing . They are missing out because case concaves simply don’t cut er on their new machines. They work ok , but for the price of these machines they absolutely need to work better . Mad concaves make that happen.

A guy in Manitoba makes them on his farm. I think I have his number. Youngs stocks em though they had an inventory screw up this fall and forgot to order. Some may have come in.

In the seperation area we have slots in one and wide wire in other. Honestly no appreciable difference. Though i favor slotted. We run Mad concaves in positions 1 and 2 in wheat, narrow wire in 3 and 4. Very few white caps not sure I would bother with putting them in 3 and 4 and lose capacity.

I try to take them out when we get in the main canola run just to keep them sharp for the stuff that really needs it . But they do a real good job in canola as well . Same reaction at our dealer . Murray really does know his shit . Was a case specialist in a previous life
It really is to bad case doesnt get it, losing lots of demos because of it

ThAnks for the info

I also wonder if the Grain company’s also listened to the prov crop reports and sent cars to Alberta and southern sask

Oil and the black snake is the problem.

Stupid liberals also are too blame

28.3% left, or 71.7% done. Hope that’s accurate enough for this report SK3??
Combines are grounded today due to fog from hurricane Flo.
