Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER]

Did that crazy fool in Ottawa sign a document yesterday that will force all farmers to get rid of their semis and go electric vehicles? So the old Louisville will have to be mothballed plus the three Kenworths and Pete.

F#$K U Trudeau!

I am beginning to think summerfallow would have been more profitable than growing a crop this year....


Frost on Monday morning...32 degrees by Thursday. ...very low humidity....

It might not matter in the long run because if we don't get a drink here in the next couple weeks all bets are off. Some fields were blowing here last night. I wanted to talk to the neighbor who protilled all his land last fall and ask how that worked out.

I have been arguing on Twitter with a crop expert ( gets paid to advise you how to farm) how the potential of this crop is dropping every day and it’s time to quit giving it the groceries and go fishing. But these guys always give it this and that and the JD weather station says it’s all goos deep down.

No one talks about a plant that had to suck moisture up on a day like yesterday and isn’t growing at all.

Big yields are going to be done fast.

Welcome to the 80s and the USA is subsidizing again.

Ah history does repeat.

Get those micros on now and the plant will be invulnerable to drought, frost and trade wars.

Spent so many years dealing and preparing for the excess moisture in my part of the swamp, this year definitely a mistake to have done fall tillage. Hard to know what to do as in the wet years wouldn't have been able to seed without doing something with the straw in the fall.

If you have one of those neighbors, the best bet is to set up a bunch of snow fence and buy an earth mover...

Well you just never know how your day will go. Going to haul a bag of wheat to town get out early and gave dad a leash to take city dog for a walk. Mom tags along also the big farm dog. All are Happy and playing kind of fun to watch. Big dog backs up and knocks mom over. Well she will head for surgery In Regina real soon. Broken ankle and all. Some days your the bug some the window.

I started in the mid eighties, I never knew any better. I've had good times since then.

It's the young, high testosterone(male AND female), aggressive, highly leveraged farmers who never knew tough times might have trouble adapting.

Land prices weren't making sense before(lately)...wait!

I wonder how many farmin decision were based on dads driving a quadtrac and growing 50bu canola?

If you go back to the 80s that would have been crop done June 15, cut for feed and hauling water to the cattle in the pasture and hope the seismic comes through a few more times. One yr we collected chaff out of the back of the combine and fed it all winter.
