Le# see the ugly Canola crops,

[SASKFARMER]

Let's post the ugly pictures because it seems to me the ball has been dropped by all involved in the industry. From Seed Companies and Chem companies down to Canola council and other groups. It's a total shit show yet it was all designed to get farmers to grow the crop in 2019 and let the Grain companies and rest still have the profit and farmers get the Shaft.

Were fighting Trudeaus Fight with Huawei yet we get no help but an F#$KING Loan.

As Ralph a Question and it's like he already has Dementia or Alzheimers. Blank stare and it's all Harpers fault.

Similar is the Response from all on the Canola Groups. Blank stare into space. What problem. Trudeau says he's working on it and we don't want to piss off the prince because then he won't even look at us.

The canola crops vary in this area, everything from patches that got reseeded to not to bloody bad for the conditions it had to get started in. Ours are somewhere in between.

Extensive dryness, frost, flea beetles, cut worms, seeding screw ups, poor seed....lots could and did go wrong some places.

We had hail damage and gave the crop a costly round of Chem and fert and other shit to wake it up and bring it back to life. It did make something but the damage was done.

Similar with my peas last year myself and a neighbour that had similar problems took the advice of experts and gave it everything we had available it did piss all and accomplished nothing more than a huge bill for us.

I have about 3 distinct stages in my canola. Some plants bolting, some cabbaging out and some just nicely out of the ground. Couldnt do a second pass of Liberty because of the blooming plants so there is some weed pressure down there. Just hope the canopy fills in fast and stunts it.

Its about 3 weeks behind the norm. I am sure it will fill in now and turn out ok but that also means getting into mid sept without frost. Dad says get the swather ready.

I have never understood why farmers want to post pictures of their great crops when graincos don't and won't post their profits.....

Why tell the world what it needs to know to buy at a lower cost...

I also don't agree with the weekly saskag crop reports....No one else in industry reports their weekly progress....do they...

As an example does Evraz , since they got 40 million , report how many pipe were made to the public?

Does bombardier report how many planes or jet skis or snowmobiles were made for the week ?


those are companies that are getting non repayable cheques and they don't report...

Why do farmers when the rest of the ag industry does not report???

Grain cos, drill mfg, etc.

Morris Industries got money from the government ...how many drills are available to drive the price down?
its a well kept secret...

Hobby, you've been an excellent mentor to me.
How can I ever repay you!

I don’t expect to be paid.
Keep on rockin’ the free world.

We can post all the pictures and it won’t mean a thing unless you post a calendar and then a current morning newspaper to link what stage the canola and many crops are at. And then draw a big circle around the date in the calendar when the average frost is expected.

Between NDVI, satellite imagery, drones, boots on the ground, industry watch dogs.....we can post all the pictures we want, they already know everything, were we might only know what's happening in our back yards.

Why does it matter so much? There's always too much grain anyway....no matter how big OR SMALLthe crop is.

After last fall when most crops are harvested in Oct and Nov.. nobody is worried yet..

[SASKFARMER]

The funny part is it is a huge area with patchy late canola. Even the Super field just south of Regina that is in full bloom doesn't look quite perfect anymore.

Take a drive and post shit its fun and yes add the date somehow with watch time etc.

Time to let the world know the truth. Canada has a late shit show on its way. Dirty fields welcome as weed problems are going to happen.
