Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Partners]

This is the phos we got from a independant this yr.
Cheaper than the ground up dust from coop..

[Braveheart]

It's going to freeze again tonight. Makes preseed burn down challenging.
At least we can be thankful we're not enduring what much of the corn belt is getting and going to get.

I could have been done seeding a few days ago but the BTOs keep harrassing me. Buzzing me with their quadtracs. Blocking the grid so the 70 footer can get by. Jumping in front of me at the parts desk. Chatting up my dad at the fertilizer plant.

Full moon on Saturday the 18, lets get it out of the way so it doesn't freeze the canola later this month.

Right?

Its a conspiracy to take you over!

No, here they are all so nice, chatty and friendly, dreaming of a takeover...

-3 C in parts of s. mb this morning. Looks like those who like to seed canola the first week of May are going to have to make a trip to their favorite agri-retailer for more seed this morning.

Cold start to the morning again -1 wow. let's get so excited about plant 19.


Again I can't believe how many pulse acres are in our area. one young gun seeded 5 quarters to peas. 800 to 1000 acres peas. That's 1/4 his farm.

Cost?

Another farm north has 640 last year 320.

We dropped peas last few years from 1200 to 640.

Canola acres are down in our area.

Let's look at reality.

$6.45 to $6.15. Fall price locked in now.

60 x 6.15 $369

25 x 6.15 = 153.

Crap insurance at 80%

30 x 7 = 210.00

I just don't get why peas are being planted in mass amounts.

To be honest.... lots are short of cash, financing has tightened up dramatically so the easy button is pulse crops. Cut out a huge chunk of the fert bill. Right or wrong I think that’s a reality this spring

It's a crop guys can seed cheap... 3 bpa of seed a bit of Phos and innoculate.
