    Justin is likely taking advice from Ralph. Remember how the Wheat board elections went? Lots of dead people voted. Alt left utopian rules.

      Making dust and feeding cows here.
      Today’s home school lesson......... how to pull net wrap and bundle up neatly. He gets an A+👍


      My FIL out harrowing barley into the quarter we spread manure on last fall.



      Another day of livin’ da dream. Everyone got their cow chow for the day and now it’s time to find some grub myself.

      Hit 70% done calving and now it’s slowing up so hopefully we can get the rest of the kernels in the ground. The marathon continues............... Good luck y’all 🍀

            Yes, I did, something to grab onto when you're jumping off or climbing on plus hit my head once it just pissed me off.

            Nice morning to head out spraying.

              Oh, a new feature in Sask Crap insurance if you now have contracts that offer a higher price than they do you can send them in and they will give you that price.

              catch.

              It's only on that amount of grain. So if you did 10000 bus at 15 canola they will do the math and add that amount to your coverage. Min increase but its still a little help if you had to collect.

                There must have been a lot of phone calls into Sask Crop Insurance to get that concession. Good on them though.

                  Mostly by friends of the minister...Not likely it has much to do with the average farmer.

                  If a full scale drought takes hold...private insurers will be on the government doorstep as well.

                    SCIC has a billion+ dollar surplus doesnt it? Might get used up this yr. I have max coverage on canola as usual.

                    A lot of FOMO in canola this yr. Guys who sold too soon last yr might struggle to get a crop this yr.

                    And high prices in canola are not all good thing. Canada owns that market and if we cant supply it for a second yr, who knows what happens. $20 canola might prompt someone in the southern states or FSU to give it a shot.

                      Todays prices and todays farming....the billions needed to keep farmers going will be quite large in adhoc payments..

                      Had they done what the US has and dribbled money out to the tune of 100s of billions linked in with the rest of the pandemic pay ...not many would be saying phuck it if this drought takes hold.


                      Agriculture through the pandemic has been ignored in Canada...and commentators , experts and others say its because of good prices we don't need help..

                      Much like Townsend's canola predictions ,,,it just sounds stupid . Agriculture has shown how important it is to this country's economy....

                      If this country has 10 billion for the air line industry....I would say agriculture might need the same attention.

                        Peas and wheat are in the ground here. Working on canola. Weeds are showing up the last few days, up until now there has been nothing to spray. Scouted a field last night that had been seeded on May 4 and was planning to do a post seed pre emerge application but the wheat was just breaking through. Soil moisture here is ok so far. Pastures finally staring to green up but one field of alfalfa seems to have areas that have winter killed, hope I am wrong. Certainly hoping for rain on the long weekend.

                          was planning to do a post seed pre emerge application but the wheat was just breaking through

                          I once waited too long to post seed spray...was looking into the sun and could see the rows on the outside rounds...I quit spraying ...cleanest and best part of the crop was where I had done my opening round with the post seed burnoff spray...

                          If they are just poking through....talk to an agrologist.....it might still be on the seed and much like a one leaf wild oat...it may be hard to kill.

                          But DYODD..I am far from any kind of an expert.
