Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[sumdumguy]

Spraying the last of the hailed out canola.

I repeat hail adjusters know jack shit. 6 in off ground doesn’t make a crop.

Shove the chart that takes 100% down to 60%.

Maybe 2021 is go without or I hear municipal is the way to stay with.


No frost yet cloud cover came and stayed all night both nights



I love days with a full crew.

What the heck- no grain piles all over the yard? Must have a friendly dwarf come at night and clean them up.

Many flax fields were hammered by the frost here. Some will be wiped out. Canary many were green but time will tell it usually can handle a bit of frost but we had minus 4 to minus 6 so hard to say.
Canola everything from combined to grass green, grass green obviously toasted. The combined stuff yields all over the map due to how dry and then how much over wet, then how much fried later and type of soil, when you seeded and varieties. Later seeded too small to handle the big rains generally.
Barley huge to lots drowned out.
Wheats seemed to handle the variation the best.
Peas terrible. Some worked down I see never harvested.
Lentils average.
It’s like the lottery out here. Generally very disappointing. The experts will look at the total rain And say hey that should have meant a good crop but the problem is too much came around once not enough at start or the very end and then of course the frost.

Good post
Very good point on the rain totals
We had nearly half our rain in one big dump
That don’t translate into yield
But what do we know as farmers , experts and scientists know er all . We the sheep should just nod our heads in agreement and take our medicine lol

So Boboo is going to leave our Ag invest accounts alone for now.


Yea right who trusts these slippery fools.

Maybe it’s time to drain those accounts and put into a hail insurance account for our farms put your premium in each year most I have only got back my money over 40 some years.

Even the year 21 got hit the account wouldn’t be drained.

Oh and skippy and We both need to go.

Waiting on crops to dry a little from last weekends rain and drying what grain we have off.
It is a very nice day today so lunch on the deck. Will try barley after lunch

[sumdumguy]

Try egg rolls with pork tenderloin and sprouted French Lentils, rhubarb-plum jam for dipping.

First fields of new Alida HRS were good but about 20% less than normal.

How was your Alida for busting up in the wind. Alot of bad reports of it losing 10-15%. Ours was close to 5 bpa on the ground. Guess shoulda listened to the bossman when he said swath it all....

[SASKFARMER]

Ours was in the bin we’re sticking with Brandon and only doing 1000 Alida in 2021. I’ll give it one more chance

Sask with peas every 8 years , will you ever do lentils or Chickpeas? Just damn tough to maintain good crop rotation with out pulses ( disease doesn’t pay either I have nderstand).

How does India do it where they have had Pulse crops for ever? Send a elevation over 😊?

Wonder what chemicals they have there to spray with. There’s a correlation between harm from chemical Also.

The Ghetto had a bumper cactus crop, I'll put you on the list. Won't be cheap.

Rattlesnake eggs are scarcer than rocking horse shit, they're born live.... the dry conditions was good for rearing the young...how many do you want?

Tumble weeds are in demand as well in the Sahara Slum of the Ghetto.
