Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER]

700 acres done last week by tonight. Funny this is the longest stretch we had on harvest 2019. Last fall it would of rained two days ago. Dry today and slick.

[Goodtime]

Well we can't harvest here yet....actually just started to rain.

[makar]

Can't drive a quad in the field and started raining.

[Sheepwheat]

Got to a whopping plus seven today. Can skidoo anywhere I wish.

[seldomseen]

Warmest day of the year at +7 but that is still below normal. Same as Sheepwheat can snowmobile anywhere and no chance anyone would ever combine.

[fjlip]

YES this a crazy HUGE difference in snow pack! Total white here and SF# combining dry wheat, WTF? you are truly blessed not to have this COLD white SHIT all over! Thank somebody you are where you are!

[SASKFARMER]

Yes I do give thanks for the great weather.

Did get sticky on the clay late today.

SASKFARMER, goodluck and keep at 'er. We finished our direct cut harvest during the last half of Mar while it was still frozen. Guys with swathes had to wait till now to get going, the cold nights this week were a blessing for them as when the frost comes out, we'd be knee deep in mud again, like last fall. Great winds this week too. Bonus is to harvest on frozen ground, saves filling in miles of ruts before planting.

[SASKFARMER]

I agree this week's cold weather is what we were looking for. It did try to rain at 8:30 last night when we quit.

Will go today and that will be five in a row. Something 2019 never gave us at all.

Canola I think the same well take in End of April when ground firms but that will be the crew not the guys seeding.

If someone would have told me my dry 5cwad in the spring would be worth more than a wet 2cwad last August and september ....I could have saved myself a lot of grief worrying and trying to get a wet crop off last fall...

And it sure would be nice to be made whole like the average workers CERB and someone pay me for the 5 bpa I can't get picked up or lost to the weather that is out of my control.

[GDR]

Anyway, the week to harvest has not gone as planned but we are making progress and the HRS is coming off yesterdays moisture was 15. Grade looks good except mildew will drop us a grade. Yes, the CGC won't look at samples because they are in lockdown and someone might lick an envelope or god forbid touch the grain.o

Really? You think you still are gradeable? That would be good, I'm hoping we can even make feed specs here, have my doubts.

They will find ONE rotten mouldy black kernel, sample account of Corona.....offer $2...or dump in a slough.

The canola seed will have too little oil left in it?
