Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[woodland]

Clocks a tickin’ out here in the already muddy hills. The peas are now mostly off and that’s all for combining. Second cut is coming down and getting rinsed nightly. Some barley is being swathed while dodging any low areas.

Mowed down some volunteer canola on 20 acres that was supposed to go to alfalfa but couldn’t since it was too wet. Should make silage bales in a few days to keep the moo moos happy. Also started cutting newly seeded alfalfa/ canola/ wild oats that will get wrapped too. There’s still 1,000 acres to cut and bale .......... running short on help so don’t think it’s going to get done before everything falls apart weather wise.

Can someone remind me what a harvest without mud, snow, crops that are later than late ............. is like? Last decent one was 2015 which was just after my kids were born ......... they’re thinking it’s always this way😉

And spraying twice is proper labeled usage?

And glyphosate isn't legally usable to dry down crop anyway.


And then guys like you can't figure out why the public hates us and wants glyphosate banner.



We ain't btos and swath everything. Spray late in fall fields clean crop in bin dry.

Sometimes gotta just be patient and swath later...

Half done barley 70 wheat 35-40 canola who knows beans same.

Southcentral Manitoba... Not on the good dirt.

90 % of anything swathed here is ****ed
Be glad your in SW Mb and not NE Sk have not had 3 days in a row without rain since august, and nud and water everywhere. This is a pic from 2016, not that bad yet
I dont give a **** how patient you are you cant lay swaths in mud
We have done this many times, unless you have been there , you have no clue
Dont comment on things you know sfa about

Like I am going to care if some know nothing suburban family thinks glyphosate is bad because CBC told them. At this point my fing paycheck to feed my family is laying out there and I am going to use whatever is needed to bring it in.

Harvesting conditions have gone downhill in southern MB in the last few days. We are close to 2" since Wednesday with another 1"+ in the forecast today before it quits. Water lying everywhere around Winnipeg yesterday but at least they only have their corn and beans still out. Came past some beans where you could look up the rows and it was like a paddy field, water between every row - does it harm them getting their feet that wet at this stage?

Prices showing no sign of improving for good quality stuff. Guess there is lots of old crop still around to keep prices pathetically low.
Could you imagine if this harvest had zero issues where prices would be today?
Getting harder to make a living at this job.
The snakes, thieves, and crooks are on full patrol.

In all my years I have never seen fall weather move prices. The best movement of prices is in the early spring after breakup and in June when there is a lot of unknown and uncertainty about the crop. You will have to hold this one to get a bump.

Never had experience with standing wheat out through winter but had it flattened a couple of times from heavy fall snow, able to harvest before winter but not much fun.
Did have swathed wheat go through winter once, biggest problem was wildlife damage.
Present situation has standing wheat degraded to feed, have to decide to give harvest priority to standing wheat or swathed canola.

Extreme wet is different thing to 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 with .

That has to be the quarter section average!
Not just some cherry picked swath.
