A guy ripping pasture at white city. Cloud of dust.

Record DRY...risk to many...very little run off here, hoping dugouts are full. Can count this kind of year on one hand in 50 years

One guy I talked to today said remember 59 and 60 were great crops then 1961 was the year it didn’t rain. The guy working at white city all you seen was dust and oh it’s a blue tractor never figured out what he was pulling.

Lots of Snake oil salesman have been making the rounds this year and soil health is the big talked about point

SF3 send me the info on the snake oil please, I'd like to compare with what's being marketed around Australia thanks

Sit back someday and work out how many people your farm feeds every day. Use wheat to bread ratio if you farm grains mostly, assume as family eats a loaf a day as staple diet. 8 bushels of wheat will make bread for one yr for a family of 4. So a 60 bu HRS crop feeds 7 families per yr per acre. Think about the massive number of people farms are feeding in this country and around the world. How many deserve it? How many would rather think about Kim Kardashian than where their next meal is coming from.

Using your numbers Canadian farmers could feed another 20000 families
for a year with the wheat wasted in the preharvest wheel tracks. Now people are unknowingly eating gly AND saflufenacil laced wheat products, the comorbid effects of which have not been evaluated. Go back to swathing or risk losing more markets.
