Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[AC man]

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.

Interesting to see how your canola handled the winter. I have heard of some real horror stories from previous harvests from hell. Hopefully it turns out for you,grade and yield!

Seen some combines going in the vicinity of the Ghetto
Seen first set of harrows as well.
Little further away someone tried harrowing combined flax swaths from last fall, too wet and making a mess, surrendered and baled it, much much cleaner job 👍.
We're pumping afew strategic pot holes....when winds permit.
Someone is breaking up some old hayland on light land, probably drier than my humour.
We've been aerating down marginally tough #1 wheat, terminals don't have much blending power this year, have to do what you have to do.
Almost all of our July/Aug delivery(picked-up) canola is already gone....good experience! May not happen next year like that.
Worked on ignorant electronic issues on seeding outfit, one Raven monitor needed "service", I guess taking it into the house over winter for the last 8 years wasn't good enough!
I learned just how sensitive CANbus communication is, wiring harness protecting loom on the hitch of the drill was deteriorating, so Dr. Do Good thought it would be a good idea to replace it but put the CAN harness in the same loom as the harness that controls the Bourg opener electric controls....not a good idea, scrambled the CAN signal, separated them and SURPRISE....Everything works fine again.....but looked for a cause a long time!
Sold some green peas for $12.50. Yellow Mustard left to price but might end up singing Happy Birthday to it for 1 to 3 years....60 cents isn't in the cards...last two times I grew that I got 60 cents....kinda sets the price bar too high, quality isn't the best.

Silly season is right around the coroner!

Pea prices for fall are increasing.

Ukraine has issues this spring.

Canada has frozen ground.

Its a good thing so far but for how many more days. If it rains next week the ground will thaw and firm and maybe harvest and the seed will happen on remaining.

Will see after today.

yesterday was slip slide and away at the end.

Been heavy harrowing last couple of days, mostly canola stubble.
Got into some winter wheat stubble but had to quit, too much rutting.
Think canola took more moisture out later in year.
Going back to canola stubble unless rained out.

[Sheepwheat]

Snow about two thirds gone. Good runoff, peaked last night. Lambs popping, water running, temperature hit double digits, birdlife is incredible, might try combine in a few weeks, life is grand!

Farma you throw those mid row banders off yet ??

No, we added another rank of them in front of the others, now there's fertilizer between every row instead of every second row.

Can always makes things BETTER with a minor modification

Still can't quad anywhere, and agro techs don't get inputs wont make a sk3 clone.

Rained out on some toda.

CANOLA WAS GOING GREAT.

How much loss do you figure those swathes had overwinter? I know we need to screen any spring thrash here for deer turds. Heck we end up with deer turds in straight cut canola though.

Good work on getting it beat👍

So far for our area, the Swath Canola vs the Standing has faired better. Now one farm near a Huge wildlife pasture/crowm land will get wildlife damage of some kind it looks like hail has hit it. All we have left is Liberty Pod shatter and it was all swath late last fall.
