The irony is spreading the virus through protesting and defunding of police forces will hurt these group the most.
(Agrivilles own Chucky was involved in one of these mass protest movements that will cause a lot of harm and death.)

Just trying to make the rest of the Agriville members feel more comfortable posting their own crop reports.
I know how intimidating it can be to post a crop report after SF3's, so I'm trying to get the conversation started among the STO's and BTO's( Basement time operators)

Also rumours of a persistent heatwave in front of the stove, and that there hasn't been enough sunlight in the basement all summer, so crops are way behind.

Havent been west all summer but have been south to Wpg and from what I have seen the wheat is real good as a whole. Even in the flood area it’s not bad at all. But there is a few weeks to go to the finish line. I would say an above average crop and could or should make 70s in my opinion. Definitely higher in more areas than not.
Soys looked real good but could use a drink anytime to add more bushels this month.
Canola I thot was average at best. Lots of burnt up that could have used more rain in July. Definitely not a record breaker at all. We thot our Canola wasn’t bad but it’s no bin buster. Hoping it’s in the 50 range which is where I think a lot will be or less in Manitoba.
Peas seemed to be anywhere from great to average at best depending on how much rain in June and July. Too much rain definitely buggered up potential. All the lower areas in our crop are done and drying down and yield has been lost but overall I believe has a 60-70 potential yet.
Fababeans started out poor being so dry but with all the moisture the last 6 weeks they look real good and have above average potential. Hoping in the 70s if no frost til early Sept.
This was our first year with black beans and just checking the pods they look to have decent potential but have nothing to compare to so other than the drowned out areas I’m happy with how they look. Another 6 weeks and we will know whether they are a good fit on the farm.
Overall our area is average for most crops some slightly above but no bin buster.

.......WOW. funny how learn to accept our own farm's capabilities. The Ghetto is all I know and is "home". I often wish we had more productive land. No sense comparing if I want to maintain sanity. It is what it is.

Originally posted by furrowtickler View PostMass protests , riots , looting have a lot more to do with the spread of the COVID than anyone will ever admit .
Yes , some were way too much of a cavalier attitude. As well big Hollywood parties , fake Cuomo COVID infection was utterly embarrassing for CNN ... ohhh look at me finally coming out of my basement lol WTF . Florida fiasco and many other examples.
But they are not pointing the finger at what is sure a huge factor . Masses of people still “protesting†that’s impossible not to spread the virus just as bad or worse .
Trump did nothing to spark protests , it was a few bad cops , an absolute drug addicted dude and a bunch of paid protesters.... fact .
In fact Obama did SFA his 8 years to help the black communities, SFA
Black / Hispanic jobs were near the highest in history in December....... again no one will talk about that .
Not defending Trump , just pointing out he is not the bogeyman in all this .
Where did the virus come from ? Think a little

I’m past the point of caring how I measure up in the “contestâ€. I’ll be happy just to complete it, get my participant ribbon, and move on.
Been working at attempting “haying†for six weeks and only a third done. The tires on the baler were wet all day even at 31*C before this afternoon’s T-storm rolled through.

Far as I am concerned we have an amazing crop coming for only 5 inches of rain.

We have a disease down under called “backyarditisâ€
Common symptoms not believing reports, my crops below average so everyone’s is or Or in some cases my crops a bumper so everybody’s is.
Crops 300kms away can’t be much different than mine.
Peoples yield monitors are incorrect.
Crop scouts don’t know shit from clay or even vice versa
Believing everything on Internet forums and using it as a marketing tool.
Canadians are much more sane and rational than us aussies so it’s a affliction you’ve possibly never heard off.

The sad part is the one place just went to there clients and it was social distancing and only one person per field.
Flooded means zero to min crop.
Hail min to zero crop.
Drought 1/2 to less crop.
Heat takes yield every day.
One area is a garden and thats what they look at.
Canada has an average crop from Man to Alberta. Real simple just takes a drive and its really easy to see.

I dont know any farmers who have the time to cover 3 prairie provinces and come up with accurate yield estimates. But the mal contents are always suspicious of experts who do. Yes they make mistakes and are sometimes inaccurate. Most of that is assessed in hindsight. But does anyone really think farmers are going to do a better job of estimating yield? Most of us are not sure of our own yields until it is in the bin.
