Its' about that time when you have to ask: where is global warming when you need it?

The smart dip shits will reply..
Just think how cold it Would be if it was not here Now?

I thought we were the unlucky ones that missed all the rain this summer. Our crop matured earlier than most and we are still only 75% done. I just dont think there will be enough heat units left to cure out the immature canola in areas that had rains. Flat cereals will be a bugger to clean up too, its a disaster and not a peep out of anyone.

the harvest from hell continues . more snow tonight. light snow at least .

that is the bright side,.

hopeful but , this may be a monumental wreck in the making

[SASKFARMER3]

It's funny how all the great train wrecks had some weather issues attached.

30s drought

80s drought

2018 Snow that wouldn't go.

Yes, it's a shit show and getting worse each cold day as days are now down to 30 left and cold and snowy for another week.

I have 2.5 mill of the crop still in the field and am wondering how we will get it. So far we go when the sun shines for two days then dry.

It can still get done but looks like we're still another week away from any real hard harvesting.

Yep, it sucks the big one.

I wonder if the new varieties they are developing have weather guard....sure good to see new varieties weather faster than the old ones.

Good thing we have another classification for hard red spring ...those stored bushels of Hard Northern red should be extracting a premium for dry and visual...

Number 1 durum before the weather ...number 5 after...mind you durum is now graded and priced number 5 or better...

question still remains why more research into quality...

Crop insurance should be different also.
You should have insurance on what is left in the field. Not this bullshit if you harvested some and it was good above yiur coverage onthat field it is deducted from the fields that are left. Those fields that get left out should be appraised and paid out if no good in the spring seperate and independant from what you harvested acres are. Many people if they can't finish will lose big time.

This still can be done if our ag groups actually got off their asses.

Scrap that *** joke agristability and put some of these practical things in place.

Crap insurance is not for disasters it is a disaster all in itself.

[SASKFARMER3]

I agree big wheel.

Did the math and with the flood years taking down our average because when you seed 140 acres and harvest 100 guess what your average drops and using the last 15 or more years were down.

So math is fun and guess what after we harvest 11 quarters were not covered anymore with crap insurance. So basically lets giver boys get to 11 and no insurance on the rest if it sits out all year.

Again why was crap insurance set up to make money for the gov?

Real simple

If the crop in the field has quality and volume there is no payment. See what it's like in the spring.

Interesting comment...I have made good money on upgrades of shitty crops than good ones....

Last time I grew green lentils they were 8 cents as a three....when I sold them two years later they graded a 2 for 32 cents .....I can't hold grain like I use to but there could be some good prices coming ...although thats no consolation for this with crop in the field.

[biglentil]

Chickpeas still soft and chewy, when the hell are they going to cure? Might be the 1st and last year I grow em. Then again might have to change my handle to Nolentil at these bloody prices. Who else wants in on the class action to get our checkoff dollars back for pulses? Im thinking 5 or 10 years retroactive.

[Hamloc]

Latest forecast from weather network for my area has snow on 5 out of the next 7 days. Only 25% done, I think the fat lady is starting to sing. It will certainly take a large change in the weather now!

[fjlip]

We have been even WORSE than 2018...2010 Sept 27 only 29% harvested in Sk, 3 weeks later 97%. And in this area we all remember waiting 6 weeks in 2009, to finish Nov 17, wheat swaths tested 17%. Lots of canola done that year 15-20%, some still spoiled after drying twice.

Weather must have turned in our favor.
