Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

The Hate for BASF is in full force. I took the flags from our summer student two years ago.

You big bully!! 😝

I like the case sprayer but I wish they would put the rad on top like a Massey or Lexion combine . Would be much better
And yes they need a 1600 or 2000 gal tank on that .

This rogator is 5 yrs old and have never blown rad or air filter
Checked it yesterday and both are as clesn as new. They sure have something figured out in that dept

I can’t justify spending seed treatment on peas worth 11-12 ac, when peas are what 6.25, I thought you and BASF weren’t best of buds anymore? Looks like you’ve kissed and made as your flags wave proudly in the wind. Lol

I see you have finally come to your senses and took “AIM” no pun and are seriously looking at something red on your farm. To me there is only one sprayer and it looks real good amongst all the green. Lol

Them you havent tried a rogator

Was waiting for someone to say something like that.

My Rogator won't start...too cold. I need to spray. How much ether can I safely use?

No offence WG but they are worse than a case lol

I could be all wet . I treat sometimes . But seed treatment in my mind is snake oil.
You can grow 50 Bush. Peas not
Treating F all.
Seems like a good way to burn up money

Sawfly how about higher peas than the 50. you know its possible with the right conditions and cold ground like this year it does work. If it was plus 20 and nice and warm at night, not a chance it's going back to town.

You KNOW that seed treatment works in a cold year like this or you ASSUME it must work in a year like this. I know very few that have actual side by side trials in cold soil.

Why is pulse seed treatment so expensive compared to cereal seed treatment? If they would just drop the price it would be cheap insurance. Right now the farmer gets 15-25% rebate back off srp and the seed plant/custom seed treater guy also gets 20-30% back off srp. If they can rebate back 50% on seed treatments, why not drop the price in 1/2 and sell way more.

That's what they are counting on you to do. Up the inputs to counter the price drop.

The canola seed companies could have done that too. They could have said, hey it looks like a tough yr, lets give everybody $100 off each bag just to help. Nope didn't do that. They don't change their outlook until their sales actually are lower.
