Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Goodtime]

Wow hardly call these pictures shitty crops...I wont post my depressing shit canola pics.

[seldomseen]

Canola some good and some patchy and just starting to bolt.
Wheat looks good but will need more rain to fill nice.
Peas have clean leaves and are about knee high and starting to flower.
Alfalfa has nice flowers and looks good and the bees are released but its just so cold the bees don't do anything.

Hard to say how this one will end with the never ending cold and wind. It is taking forever for the wheat heads to emerge and the canola to get to bloom and if it doesn't warm up frost will be a concern.

Wasn't the world suppose to be burning up by now?

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!
