Harvest Progress or Regress

[farmaholic]

Last 100 acres tomorrow and harvest 2019 is a wrap.

A decent finish to an otherwise difficult harvest for the Ghetto.

Better not wave the checkered flag just yet....anything can happen!

But boy will I be glad to see this one in the rearview mirror.

This harvest will leave a scar. Battle hardened late in my career.

Wave the white flag?

Rented second combine for tomorrow.
Rain snow Tuesday. 4 days left.
Fourth year of agony here.
Good luck

Our fields are 20 minutes from Grassfarmer and you've all seen his pictures Need to add a word to thread title and make it Progression, Regression or Depression. We'd fall in the depression slot. Snow is leaving the fields slowly but those fields are sopping wet. Best outcome would be snow leaves, no snow falls and ground freezes solid.

No combines have rolled for over a week here. Desperation will have some people,trying to get into field today. It will be bad.

What a difference a few miles makes. What a tough go Braveheart, hope today is a go-day.

I can imagine what Southern Manitoba feels like.
That's why we're pushing to finish. Anything can happen this time of the year and getting enough drying days can be challenging if the crop gets wet again. I am so thankful to get that swathed wheat off at the moisture we are. It's had snow on it twice already, third time WON'T be a charm. Its not dry, but very acceptable and will store without fretting.

I don't know if I should Party, Cry, Laugh or check my self into an institution. We got to the 50% mark late last night. Most are either 20% to 60% in our area. Crops are out all over the place. North is worse with 6 in more rain than us. Yes, I feel for Manitoba as friends have sent similar pictures. We are in an area that gets shit like that most years. Storms start across the valley and then dump on us.
All I hope is the back half is more fun than the front.

Oh, a side note in the 50 miles I travel you couldn't have a neighbour help or a friend or get a custom guy because they are all still harvesting.

Just did the calculations ..... not sure if it’s sounds better if I say we are 77% done or have 23%
left??? Either way we sat 22 days till couple days ago. Had no canola seeded in 19 so had to play the waiting game.
Thankful to be moving again..... and the wheat is dry. 👍👍

Some guys around here are making the short strokes just before the feel good big finish.

20% done here east of Edmonton. Wheat is 19 and canola 13. Crop was not dry ever. Limited drying infrastructure so will be spring thrash. Everything combined was damp. Area 80% done with almost all wet. Some areas missed a rain and get a few days dry north of here.
