Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[sumdumguy]

We were actually very lucky as this bit of snow will evaporate today if we get a few degrees. It could have been much worse from what the satellite showed. The forecast lost its balmy 10 degrees but here’s hoping those swaths are dry-ish and we can suck em up. We usually are done first week of Sept and even by labour day but we’ve also seen a couple of falls like this that ended with an awesome Indian Summer. We never left a crop out and all we can do is our best not to try that on for size. Keep plugging and keep safe. Good news-the election is looking more promising every day. The poll say 70% won’t answer and I think that’s a good sign - verrrry gud! Because, if the electorate was satisfied- they’d know - agree?

We have peas, wheat and canola all done. Still alfalfa to do. Wheat samples are with the grain buyer so he can go over them with the bright lights and magnifying glass and then check falling number.
Next big job will be trying to fix the mess of ruts we left behind. Open for suggestions.

I am not sure how to get multiple pics up on the same post?

Such nice soil that seems hard to farm.

Challenges of some sort everywhere.

The sun came out so got started on Alfalfa harvest. Yield looks decent just need the price to improve.

Hasn't this stuff froze by now? That's not great feed is it?

In the flood year 2/3 of our land looked just like that
Brother said those ruts would haunt us for years
We worked them at 8 mph with BG 50 ft with 2 “ spoons , then harrowed , then seeded
I stopped seeding canola one day and phoned crop ins. Told them this shit would never grow , told them I’m losing the $100 to wet to seed , they said you have to seed if you can . Long story short , that was one of the best crops we ever had , ruts never bothered that year or ever . I was actually wearing knee pads from shop soil was so ****ed up , just chunks of hard knee breaking shit
Anyways dont worry about those ruts

Was sprayed with Reglone about 10 days ago and the frost is good to stop any new growth. Its a seed crop and that old dried up growth that is nothing more than ground up stocks.

Ok to sum up the crop report.

I find it funny that Manitoba AG finally is realizing that the harvest isn't as fast as they were bragging a few weeks ago. Curious how rain snow etc. can **** things up.

Maybe Sask Crap report will say something about the harvest delay and not sugar coat it.

Again our area is probably one of the worst, and we did gain a small amount, but every single farm has tough grain, and everything under the sun is being used to try to dry it. Did hear of one bin that's not doing so good any more. If it flows it goes does work but shit can go sideways real fast. We run out of gas every two days even if we book for the truck to be back every two days. So you miss one day to catch up drying every three days.

Were lucky with our dryer but wish I would have bought the big one we priced at Farm Progress show.

Were into thanks Giving weekend and like always I celebrate the USA thanks Giving as were never done.

I am getting too old for this shit.

Talk to your neighbours and friends and family. Hell, I went to a movie with my wife last night and a few drinks and feel better today. So talk please and remember then ones at home are way more important than this ****ing Crop.

Was the fire on the fendt by the gearbox for the chopper?
