Where did all the "bumper" crop experts go all of a sudden?????????????

I sold some specialty canola I wish I hadn't.

Very respectable prices but the spread is narrowing.

Hindsight marketing.....always 20-20.

I sold some canola at $10. A few loads to get cashflow. Didn't realize there were so many homerun hitters here. I try to bat for an average. Never sell too much at once. Just when you think you have it figured out the market bites you in the ass.

Oh also sold some reds for .28 and durum for over $8 but again still trying to bat for an average.

Wasn't directed any ill will your way farma just commenting the same general thought. Nobody hits homeruns all the time.

I try. And I hate leaving money on the table.

Sometimes I calculate "the difference between what I got and what I could of had". The difference is staggering sometimes. I image what I could do with those coulda woulda shoulda dollars.

Not recommended.

Just curious which inputs you would forgo? Around here cutting back fertility would make a 50 bu canola crop become 30bu. 30bu doesnt pay the bills either especially when buying high priced seed.

IMHO the only reason Canadian ag still exists is that farmers were able to hit these higher yeilds consistently. I dont think there is any profit in going back to half those yeilds either.

If you are landowner, the biggest savings right now is a refi on your loan.

I agree on transport costs, we should let the Americans take it all out on their system instead of banging our heads against the rockies.

You would have to look at your soil test and find out what the percentage you are likely to get 50 bu. I'm guessing it's less the 20%

I don't know the percentage for Jazz but I think I know the general area that he farms in and it is capable of big crops.

Kinda like where Sask3 farms with alittle less rain.

Rain rain rain. Without even a modest amount the rest is just spent money.

We are so tapped out of moisture now. 2021 could be very scary... we don't need a foot of rain to grow a crop but just some timely rains. In the meantime.... feel the stress.

So for go...

Sask 2020 average estimate for canola is 35 bpa. You're doing really well at 50.

[bucket]

I always get a kick out of yield talk ...when they promote a new fungicide where XYZ farmer got 6 bpa more using it but on average it was 3 bpa ...that means to average 3 bpa increase with the guy who got 6 bpa more....someone got zero benefit and wasted his money....

Now the 50 bpa canola crop to average to 35 bpa that means someone offset that 50 bpa with the equivalent 20bpa....50 + 20 = 70 / 2 = 35 bpa ...and it is happening...


See Neil Townsend uses a computer program with algorithms to make his bold predictions but really its just acres x yield all added up and divided by total acres....a two cent calculator does it....


I have met guys from crop insurance that measure bins....he doesnt name names and doesnt have to....he comment was no one get 50bpa canola yields across the board on their fields in this general area...

If they say it thats fine but their records show its not happening...

Sheldon's fun with flags.....Bucket's fun with math....lmao
