Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[farming101]

Area all done.Maybe odd guy pissing with standing canola.
Canola ran decent average on poor dirt to high on good dirt.
No barley this year. Tired of it. Young mans game.
Peas flat again with barely avg yield.
Guys here dropping them as 5-7 year rotations no longer helping.
Mine are a specialty whose demand has mysteriously increased since end Aug.
Hard red was a nice avg but atill a protein struggle. And we're in a bran frosting area so enough 3s.
CPS= fk!
Screwed out of a variety by largest retailer. Settled for a NEW variety.
Went flatter'n piss on a plate. Had to bale the straw off. Talk about the seed development game!
Old variety, avg yield for a heat wave. On par with the best Hard red.
Anyways, short on a contract, buying some back with dirty shorts.
One year in 10 so what. My fault for not hedging the sale. Combine cab panic thinking lol. Old terminal promised to take it at 17 off combine. Still in bin as no trains. Bahaha.
New terminal hasn't turned back any grain this season. Piling while pumping out trains.

So, kinda the same as here. Overall not too bad....

Honestly, harvest was amazing.
New to me combine was a dream.
Dry grain and easy straw, amazing.
Great field finish for seeding.
Grateful and I'll take it.

Beer is cold and we’ll fire up shortly to finish harvest 2020 part 2.

Crop is a average nothing special.

Trudeau is still a **** wad.

No more Lego because it’s now a toxic substance.

Moe likes to drink and has changed as he has got older.

I liked to drink and party but as I get older it’s nice waking up and not feeling the shits.

We all change.

Oh Ryan and the NDP need to call a leadership convention before the election and get a new leader.

What happened to the mighty NDP.

Oh and Ralph got a big pay day sent to England.

Long live the queen

Looking for a new variety that addresses some of its downfalls. Yes it can sprout easily. Its not midge tolerant. It has a longer maturity than couple other wheats we grow. It checks alot of boxes but not quite all of them if that makes sense.

Get confused with all the seed tax stuff.

Variety called sceptre wheat here been around for 8 years still numero uno.

I grow sell it $3 per tonne royalty collected and processed by buyer. Were ever i deliver it elevator feed mill dairy farmer.

Can sell this wheat to my nieghbour as seed. When he delivers werever royaly again. Endpoint royalty its called here. Been in place for not sure 20 yrs maybe longer.

All cereal legumes canola have it.

OK Sheldon Cooper ...Fun with Math guy....at what point does that below average crop start to make money with prices...since they have been rising a bit....

Guys who took the 9.50 or 10 bucks because some guy named Townsend said it was a bumper crop ....where do they have to be to even money from where they thought they should be...


60 x 10 = 600 / 45 ( actual yield ) = 13.30 On your canola crop....it might get there but that one statement from Townsend cost producers a tonne of money...

Enlighten me. What does Sheldon Cooper have to do with math? Isn't he a farmer west of SToon?

[malleefarmer]

Just checked some latest seed prices for latestcand greatest wheat here.

1 t of wheat $891 per tonne cleaned pickled !ready to sow. $5 royalty 21 harvest.

Will buy two tonne to bulk my seed up, any spare will sell to neighbours. Tis a sister line to above mentioned wheat by me.

So you guys cant do this?

[SASKFARMER]

We are done.

Cheers it was a good run with family beside me all the way.

Happy thanksgiving first time in 20 years we get to enjoy the day.

Cow day here again.


Brought home the last bunch of pairs and vaccinated the calves. Everything is good till weaning at Christmas or sometime like that now. Still got grass for a couple weeks or more yet.

Managed to run away for a few days last week to Radium since the hot springs opened up again. Went salmon fishing in the Columbia River without much luck. At Field BC we checked out the Takakkaw Falls and it’s like 1,000 foot drop.

Quite the trail to get there too. Double switchbacks like this.


Probably half the neighborhood is done and the other half has a way to go. Blew a straw chopper belt on some wet green canola and couldn’t find one otherwise we’d be done too. Borrowed one from my buddy since the nearest one is 250 miles away. Should be dry-ish tomorrow after today’s rain and then it’ll be a wrap. Hopefully can be done combining for turkey on Saturday since that hasn’t happened in 25 years or more............ probably just jinxed myself.

Good luck y’all 🍀

Those family smiles are THE BEST pictures on here in some time.

Vampire problems?

Allium Sativum.... the Patron Saint of warding off Vampires.
