Well, its that time of year again, the silly season, to work your ass off, for piss all, so the fat cats can take it all and leave you with pennies. Prove me wrong!
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. The ground is frozen solid and you slip-slide around but very little to no snow left. Some are going others are choosing to wait till later. We have so much out yet were going every day.
Few tried canola and it was dry yesterday but the centre of the swath is still frozen in places to the ground.
I'm so excited about growing a crop this year it's not even funny. HAHAHHAHA
This virus and spring harvest are taking its toll on farms in our area. Remember only 5 guys north of the valley are actually done. Most have crop out that has to be harvested.
Will the farmers change their rotation in our area I highly doubt it. We are wet even if the winter had min snow. I love that map. It will be Canola, Peas, HRS, Barley Oats and Flax.
The odd guy is getting equipment dragged into the yard but most are finishing up cleaning grain or hauling grain to town.
Now on the political front. I'm tired of listening to the guy from Up north tell us all how to farm and how special he is on CJME. You guys screwed up with the Feds and didn't get shit done now you're going to Boboo and asking for help.
If anything, having this much crop out has taught me, not one single farm representative in Saskatchewan gives a rats ass about any farm but their own. Not one Politician cares about the farms in Saskatchewan as a whole. So next time an area gets a drought flood or frost. I know I have a real hard time saying this but I'm almost going to say good for them at least it wasn't me like everyone else. Sad really but that is what we have at every single level. I'm not going to but god we have zero people qualified to handle farm issues. Zero, From Boboo on down. Zero.
Stalin said it best it's real easy to govern when the population is stupid. Well, Trudeau is having a hay day and some wonder why.
So for our area, we are definitely two weeks away to three from seeding. No were not behind that is a completely insane comment. May 1 for our area is get things going and that this year is a Friday and for people who believe in old wives tales, you never start on a Friday a big job. Monday the third is go Day.
Take care and be safe and maybe a farm leader will appear, well Jesus was supposed to come back and some are still waiting. It can happen farmers can wake up and realize it's us against the system.
