Friday end of the Week Wrap up on a Thursday.

Not sure what the neighbours are calling this crop on the other side of the fence. Is it 2019 spring wheat, 2019 winter wheat, 2020 spring thrash wheat, 2020 winter wheat, or a royal PIA? It’ll be awhile before Ma Nature shows it off again.


I’ve tried lecturing the critters about six feet of separation but they don’t care.

My folks got back and dad is isolating himself on the cat and mom is catching up on bookkeeping. Everyone is happy they made it back and is healthy so far. The kids are practicing math counting and feeding bales as well as learning rules of the road in the feed truck.

And the best part. Diesel is 57 cents .............. yippee 😁 Not sure to book or not?

We got the kids going through the house , room by room purging “stuff” . One room / area at a time . House will be spotless lol . So many things get “left aside” when busy. We were all used to running around 6 days a week with sports , school, dance .... it’s almost a mixed blessing to slow down and catch up with life .
Got me making a big list of stuff to do around the farm and yard for the next few months as well.

Tweety please don’t freak out at us for liking one of Jazz’s posts ... 🥴.
Don’t like the numbers but it is a very good point.

Naw, i gave up on that.

The US strategy is, if they die, they don't collect.

Purging the wife I think is in full mode and it’s only a few days.

Wife and I picked up 50 km of trail stakes.approx 1000 stakes.

Logic, its a killer to some people. It destroys irrational arguments like nothing. Hate to make another chuck out of tweety so hopefully he comes around.

Another point, Canada committed approx. 88-100B toward this crises, most of that was simply deferred taxes and repayable loans. Mortgage holiday from the banks. Only about 30B in new money, some of that even went to the media, little bridge cash, bumped up EI etc. All in all a pretty pathetic response compared to the rest of the world. Canada has very little firepower, weak currency, rates already rock bottom and all of our export power houses neutered by Trudeau. Even mining is shutting down now.

By my estimation, the US pumped 10-20T into their economy.

You can argue about debt or fiat economy or whatever, but using the strong US dollar which everyone has moved money to since Trump became president, the power of the reserve currency the US just put its economy into orbit. Its about to leave every other economy in the dust including chinas. US will be at 20 times our GDP in a few years.

Winter seems to be leaving today in eastern Sask it’s a nice warm plus 8 day. Water running.

Could be some issues showing up in the USA winter wheat crop. A guy a follow on twitter from Oklahoma said such a great crop and now guess what massive disease and some bug.

It rained again on Friday.

Only a matter of time for grain prices to catch a bid.
Theres been some cases of the CCP virus confirmed in poultry and meat packing plants in the US where workers stand shoulder to shoulder. Also heard that chickens can catch the CCP virus. Protein alternatives like lentils may become a thing.

[SASKFARMER]

Yea that could be a big thing if one of the packing plants gets the virus.

I still figure the USA has a good crop of wheat coming but it's smaller than normal.

The disease will cost yield for sure.

One cold snap around the Easter break and well to the moon I'm thinking.

Right now we have a really good basis for #2 13.5 and a volume that's good for Oct and Nov delivery. Just waiting to price.

Lowest wheat plantings in 100 years doesn't mean there will be a big crop....unless it's measured by BPA ...then it's a monster...
