Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[fjlip]

"if there is one hiccup in his re opening plan he will be blamed"
As I said in another thread, LOTS of people, school kids working, and we are at this stage. Many more can do same, distance and clean. This is not rocket science, just use your head. Conversations outside at 10' are ZERO risk. If sick stay home YES! Many Stores work so can other business. Limit numbers, DON"T touch your face. By they way friends wanted to talk from a distance yesterday, we are all MISSING the in person social interaction. Visited the folks at their window, it works. Staff at lodge are fantastic! Still at work with precautions. Oh and other than staff there, NOBODY wore a mask in town.

If the crop winters like you say, next time harvest is +20 moisture, leave it in the field! Cheaper and less stress.

I'm guessing it has something to do with lexion combines?

The drying trend is continuing in more ways than one. Windy every day and temps in the teens made me put on leather boots for the first time this year. Also got the new “to us” dryer delivered too. Picking it in the wind was quite fun but went smoothly. The crane only needed a boost after sitting for a year.



Calving is rolling along and we hit 25% today. It’s going so-so but at least the weather is on the nicer side and mud disappearing is helping too.
The catcher has helped out a lot and probably cuts our time in half for tagging and moving them. It took a two person chore and turned it into a one person enjoyable experience.

The fall rye is coming back to life although way later than normal as lots of years it would be ready to start grazing shortly.
No combining here yet and I’m very thankful we got it off last fall. Our little old dryer worked it’s heart out last year and I’m looking forward to setting up this one and getting gas to it which will be nicer than seeing the propane truck wayyyy too often.

Good luck everyone. The wind is straight outta the west here so I hope it helps everyone else get closer to rolling. 🍀

Amazing and glad for you how the sample held up. Wow.

A suggestion if I may for those planning a bigger garden. I think you would do far better to feed a calf? Or maybe a bigger garden AND feed a calf up? Between the density of actual meat, and the fact that it may become very pricey, maybe it is time to bring back a critter to the farm? Put in for the moose and elk draw and hope? Lol

I guess it depends on what you will grow in the garden with the idea to preserve it, which is a pile of work...

If anyone needs a freezer calf I would gladly provide some this fall with the way prices are slip sliding away for cattle on the hoof. I’ve got ammo and a sawzall for cutting 😉

Hopefully it rebounds soon”ish” ..............

It’s federal land and I can’t push bush. No cat deal.


Oh just had combine one go south and it’s sinking a bit.

Fun times pulling them out a few times today.

Still on wheat as last 100 acres might be interesting.

Tomorrow.


Then 9 quarters of canola and she is all done for 2019.
