Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[farmaholic]

Just got done spraying......under and around the hopper bins.

Put skinnies on the sprayer yesterday....for what? I needed the exercise!

And now for the crop report from the "Slum of the Ghetto":

The grass is always greener outside the Ghetto!

Right Braveheart?

Ha. I'll take your word for it.

Pioneer Liberty is tough took a lot of shit and coming now

One thing a lot of neighbours are talking about in our area as some of us have been direct seeding or min tillage for almost 40 years. Trash is a problem and is it time to bring back some sort of fall tillage like Manitoba. Just saying we're seeing some shit going on in our ground that doesn't make sense.

Us too, gonna go buy the last discers. 😂

Climate change was supposed to warm the planet. Yea it's warming it you fools. The sun is in a low period and that's causing the weather. So stick your Carbon tax where the sun doesn't shine.

If our current cool weather is a result of low solar output as you claim, why isn't the rest of the world cooler as well? For example, the linked article points out northern Alaska is now in the 104th day of uninterrupted above average temperatures. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/04/us/alaska-heat-anchorage-fireworks.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/04/us/alaska-heat-anchorage-fireworks.html
Last week Europe set new temperature records and France had highest temperatures ever recorded there

Parts of Greenland had June temps 40F above normal, and melting of ice occurred faster and earlier than ever before. https://e360.yale.edu/features/in-greenlands-melting-ice-a-warning-on-hard-climate-choices https://e360.yale.edu/features/in-greenlands-melting-ice-a-warning-on-hard-climate-choices

There are lots of other examples of extreme heat around the world which certainly should not be the case if your claim of low solar output is causing our cool temperatures unless the sun does shine in Alaska, Europe, Greenland, India, Australia, etc etc etc. So please explain how why these areas are so much hotter given lower solar output.

Sumdum, when you guys figure out what works every year regardless of conditions let me know.

Till only places large seeded crops will be planted?

Unless excessive, rain/moisture can repair alot of **** ups.

Not too may years are exactly alike, especially back to back, be prepared to adjust your sails to prevailing winds.

Something you did one fall/year might make you look like a genius, the next year it may make you look like a ****en idiot.

Go figure!

I agree in farming you have no two years that are the same. Sometimes similar but never the exact same. This year it didn't matter what drill you had from the most expensive down to the oldest set of drills. It didn't matter if you were first in the field or last. Mother nature can be a bitch and this year well let's just say she went full C#$t. (Sorry to offend some).

Flax took it really hard in our area and most should be worked down. Peas are probably next shittiest as some fields suck real bad and right across the road a 70 potential.

Seeding date for sure and spotty first showers. The nicest Canola field a month ago looks average to below now. It got the first rains took off then stalled out when rain ended.

So we farm another year deal with new problems and try to figure out some shit that's going on to improve for next year.

I still think subsoil at 36 in apart and 21 down would help. Or the Salford or just use that very heavy harrow and set it to tillage mode.

My worst field of Canola is on Kelly harrowed last fall pea stubble. It sucks and right by grid road.



One winner is the new Pioneer liberty, it has taken all the shit mother nature can throw at it and still coming on good compared to the others I seed.

Well that's disgusting. Can you edit the language in your last post please!

After driving across the province this past weekend, there are glaring differences in crops just a mile or two apart. How things got done this spring had huge consequences in many cases that usually didn't matter. I think at the end of harvest wheat and barley are going to do pretty well while canola is going to make for an low average crop at best. Many have just too many thin patches. Things were just not forgiving this spring for canola with cut worms, flea beetles, too dry and cold conditions until too late. The last seeded canola is by far the best looking at this point. What is interesting is with the high end weather stations out there now lots are following their recommendations regarding cereal fungicide apps versus the traditional decision process.

Asstrsnd csn you just F$&k off and go away please and thank you.

The grass has been growing like no tomorrow since the rain thankfully showed up. Some pastures have had pairs out for a month and it’s hard to tell they’ve been there besides the fresh turds. Just waiting on some weather to make bales....... 18 degree highs with cloud and sprinkles every day isn’t very conducive for that.


Cows are happy and where we fed last winter is amazing. You could lose small kids in the brome if you’re not careful. 😎


Caterpillars have been busy here again like the last three years except worse. It’s disgusting fixing fence in the bush with them raining down on you.



My corn is shivering and barley is blah looking ......... awaiting sunshine patiently here🌞

Austranada post some pics of your organic crops.
