I'm toxic at any rate.

Mars is supposedly close to earth tonight, probably close enough for the in-laws to pop in for a visit. That's too close.

Is that the red dot in the eastern sky I seen last night?

I wonder when it was decided that poop is more dangerous than chemicals?

Don’t get me wrong, I understand not wanting to get rejected for contaminated grain. Not talking about that.

Just how have we evolved to the point we’re terrified of poop yet a-okay with chemicals. It’s curious. I’ve never heard anyone claim poop causes cancer. Never heard that - in the context of wildlife pooping in a field - it does environmental damage. Never heard that it harms our own gut biome. In fact, many animals purposely eat poop to boost their gut biome (although it’s usually their own species poo).

Sure poop issues can suck. Giardia, E. coli, salmonella, campy... all no fun. But compared to the concerns about chemicals I wonder how they really stack up.

Just my nighttime pondering I guess. How culture has directed us towards being poophobic but alright with other things.

I ve wondered how much glyphosate can or is measured in a seed after a ore harvest spray occurs? Or in crop of any chemical for that matter can it be measured?

I’m sure it can. There’s no way they can find it in other places but not the field. The amounts are probably just incredibly low and only increase as bio amplification occurs. (But after years of use I wonder if it’s slowly built up in the field as well?)

What did they always say? Glyph becomes inactive when it hits dirt? Obviously not, or at least it’s inactivity isn’t synonymous with it breaking down. And if it hasn’t broke down then how inactive is it really. Or it’s just such a low dose as to be inactive.

Other chems/products have reactions further down the line when their amounts build up. Can’t see why glyph would be any different.

Here I have been giving away my swathed durum to RP all these yrs and had no idea a premium market even existed.

Hardly anybody swaths here any more.

Wonder if reglone will be next.

I swathed my durum this year.Watched weather forcast and was able to combine it earlier getting a beautiful sample with no green kernels.

Isn't transparency in the open market great...knowing there will or was premium for non preharvest crops....


Its well advertised you know....from the guy that promised a pasta mill at Belle Plaine a few short years ago...


disclaimer....sarcasm...


Railways had record movement and no one knows where the phuck the grain is going...

At least the american farmer can read about sales every day and make marketing decisions based on that...

Its only a matter of time that the premium for glyphos free will disappear and the new norm will be all grains must be glyphos free. Not a big deal in my area for cereals, but could be an issue for straight cut canola some years.

Yup just like the premium for building bins and storing grain for the graincos....they know where it is ...how much and it all has to move eventually because those bin snow fences are also hiding a paint addiction that needs a fix regularly with a snort of the new equipment smell.

Italy was the top buyer of Durum from Canada in the crop year just past. About half was graded as #3.

Good net returns to farmers for durum in 2019-20. 70+ yields reported in Wellington, Abernethy and Humboldt RM's.

You have accurate forecasts? No such thing here.

That can't be, 2 people on Agriville told me Italy doesn't really buy Canadian durum. FAKE NEWS

Just a bit dated
Things were grim not very long ago when Italy left off buying from Canada, but they are back.
Pricing can change policy sometimes

Were they off market or just had COOL on Canadian dirum? We should be charging them a premium because we have the highesr/cleanest quality in the world. Or at least we did.
