Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Goodtime]

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?

I was told yesterday that canola samples taken into Richardson have had very good oil content.

Then it will look gray, smell off...

I guess i don't understand over winter canola because i have never left any out over winter. I just know my whole farming career i was told canola won't survive the winter and it would be just junk in the spring. A few winter back there was some canola left out in the winter and Bunge at Nipawin said they would not buy it. There was some standing canola north of me last winter and i shelled some in the spring and it was just gray dust! That field would have had frost damage in the fall so that was likely the reason the sample looked so poor.
Now all i see on twitter is spring thrashed black No 1 canola. Different area different time different conditions i guess.

I have had to leave crop out enough times now to know that you shouldn't expect much, and if you do have gradable product, count your lucky stars, because in my experience, canola winters terribly. Flax gets light like feathers, canola turns grey and dusty. The only crop I left out that worked half ok was fababeans. I assume cereals will be better. They say canary does ok.

First year I left canola out I was told not to worry, it'll be fine. It was fine all right, fine like pepper. Second time it was the same. Third time it was so bad I burnt most of it, there was nothing there.

So if you get a crop through winter in good shape, count your LUCKY stars!

Yea and dry also. So far so it’s good harvest.

Five days in a row that’s better than anything in fall 2019z

Does it feel strange to combine now on frost, in April, dry grain in relatively good conditions?
Think it would be a mind warp for me....especially totally white out here! In my dreams maybe...

I actually went and hand thrashed some today.....sample actually looks decent...odd gray one but I actually can't get over when I rolled them they were pretty much yellow....when we were snowed out in Nov there was 10% green in the field, I am not giving up on harvest 2019 yet.

While I am very glad for y’all, is it only me that too often feels I don’t do anything right?

Nope, and you can control alot of things, but not the weather.

You’re in good company. I’m quite proficient a fantastic failures. But if you throw enough darts at the wall eventually you hit the board.

As long as you get one thing right more than wrong you should come out ahead .......... at least that’s how we roll out here.

Good luck🍀
