Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER3]

Sask ag and food was to far ahead to fast and played catch down but finally got it right. Ah fun with math. Maybe get a few newbetter crop reporters or actually get out of the office.

Watch my report and like I had this week the number is 90 to 92 for slush numbers.

Should finish by Sunday.

I too would be interested in how this carbon tax will help your farm. Our anyone else for that matter .

HAHAHA............”help” your farm. 😂

It will be interesting to see how the Agriville green scammers answer this challenge.

[farmaholic]

Farma you by ?

How do you like that Massey ?

Its good when you don't know any better!

Way better on fuel that the Cat powered predecessor.
Still a simple combine.
There were afew "new equipment" bugs that needed to be exterminated and the dealership was very responsive. Was really never down for more than half a day and that repair was a fairly major issue.

Anytime a brand new model with major changes hits the market...give it three years before thinking about getting one....I told the previous dealership I was with I didn't want to see one for three years...and I did wait...longer.

Funny how the combine brand MF was once the King in the field in Western Canada....now it is reduced to fringe player. They're not the worst piece of iron in the field but they sure aren't very popular either...i doubt MF(Agco) will ever regain that title. An insurmountable task.

Long term thinking is how it'll help, more so future generations than my own.

For all the wild proclamations about how a tax might affect farms I'll tell you now if the cost of all carbon taxed inputs on my farm doubled next year it would cost me considerably less than severe weather events have cost me this year. That's what really threatens the future of agriculture everywhere and it would be reckless not to attempt to tackle it.

I'll let you know in advance I'm not interested in reading an avalanche of anti-science bullshit in response to this ranging from the earth is in fact cooling to it's a scam by Hilary Clinton so you can save your collective breath on my account.

Something to think on though - AF5 was insisting earlier that rising temperatures offered only positive opportunities to agriculture. What a good example of that we had this summer with a severe drought over a large area compounded by smoke from BC forest fires that delayed crop maturity by about a month in some areas. Sometimes there are unanticipated consequences and they can cost us severely.

Severe weather events? Like a mile of Ice over your farm 10,000 years ago?

[blueversi]

Oh boohoo grassfarmer, poor you and your one year of severe weather . Maybe it's time for you to pack up once again and head elsewhere, couldn't hack it in Alberta with the big bad oilpatch and one dry year in Manitoba and you're crying about how much money you're losing due to severe weather. The weather goes in cycles wet in the 50s dry in the 80s wet again for the past decade or so, get over it nothing is stable in the weather on the prairies in Canada and taxing the shit out industry isnt going to change it.

"the cost of all carbon taxed inputs on my farm doubled next year it would cost me considerably less than severe weather events have cost me this year. "

For crying out loud Grass, I have posted many example starting with the 30's, that WEATHER/CLIMATE has always changed. But for you and others to DREAM that paying AN EVIL tax will prevent/stop/change weather is total insanity! Plus to give back more than you pay in tax is even MORE insane/illogical/goofy! Why would any one change? Libtards are off the crazy map, they are assuming society is so simple/brain dead to believe this SHIT!
Oh ya and they all repeat CO2 is POLLUTION, POLLUTION,,POLLUTION, POLLUTION, POLLUTION. Just like Hitler keep repeating the lie and society will swallow!

[SASKFARMER3]

Grass doesn’t understand the climate in canada.

I like the comment that his farm had a block of ice above it at one time.

But see I don’t understand Scotland and don’t pretend to know it’s climate. Yet our new Canadian knows all about our climate


It’s a tax that’s it and a Trudeau is famous for doing nothing but bankrupt Canada.

Did you do any canola. I had 9545 out for a couple days. I liked how you could run the rotor 700 + and very little cracked seeds with dry canola

[malleefarmer]

My crop report insured crops the other day thats a start i guess.

Best 1.4 t ha wheat down to 1t ha only one paddock or field i didnt insure write off wont be harvested wont be insured.

Insurance premium based on delivered tonnes can go down by 25% only.

Barley hoping for 1.5t ha down to again 1 t ha.

Canola optomistic maybe 600 to 800 kg per ha oats.

Oats might do 1.5 if there heavy enough to keep in the combine one paddock i doubt will make 700kg super heavy ground.

Lupins maybe 1 to 1.2 tonne to ha.

Pricing might be like the start of a grand prix when harvest kicks in wheat may hit $450 even 60 on farm wheats wheat no protien weights nothing gone as stock feed barley same deal but more the $400 range. Oats smart guys cleaning and selling for seed famer cleaned 1200 per tonne huge shortage.

Oh forgot vetch might do 300 kg again 1500 to 2000 per tonne nobody knows

I prefer average yeilds and average prices over drought yeilds and drought induced prices. Smart guys have locked in wheat at high 300s for next year not me im a dumb****le and will wait

Ya we did peas, wheat, canola and flax.

In dry conditions over thrashing and over loading the seives can be a problem. This rotor style seems more aggressive than the old one.

Even flax can be ground too hard...the straw looked very fibrous coming out the back.

Keeping an even distribution of material across the seives is important and what I find most challenging.

Ours doesnt have a fan "choke" like some of the early models(9560), I don't think I would have liked that. We have a hydraulic driven fan that is adjusted hydraulically. Our old one(9895) was a high/low two speed variable speed belt drive adjusted with an electric actuator. Even that was likely better than a fan choke.

I wonder what warmed the climate to melt those glaciers from the last ice age? What causes them to form in the first place? Sea levels were many meters lower then too.

A carbon tax to stop climate change is insignificant its going to happen just as the glaciers came and went. Humans will have no impact.

Rain last night
Light snow this mornin
Bgmb , they have already admitted that its just a wealth trans scheme not even trying to hide it anymore
They said it has sfa to do with climate change
