In this heat beavers seem to like sun dresses.

What twist rate on your new 5.56?

The heat should shorten up our crops...[naturally produces more ethylene] stronger shorter straw less lodging!

Crops here are excellent, but it’s not a very big area. Got 6/10s to an inch on Saturday night out of a non forecast rain. Crops were starting to show stress. Should help with the heat coming, but for “here” it’s very dry and that rain won’t last long if the heat actually happens. High was 25 today. Was supposed to be 30. That is the key, will it get as hot as they say for as long as they say? We live in bizarro land, so far so good.

Hay is anything from very, very poor, to very, very good, it’s strange. Seems to depend on age of stand. Two year old hay looks normal to amazing. First year is terrible. Old hay stands maybe a bit less than usual. The more the alfalfa in the stand the better. Grass with three alfalfa plants per acre is pretty poor.

Pasture is hanging on as long as one has the space and a well set up rotation. I’m trying to build fence as fast as I can because I am out of space and not well fenced yet. A few more years we might get there.

All in all, counting blessings, but things could sure change fast. A big crop uses a pile of water fast, and I have never seen it this dry this early here before. Or this dry at all. Crop is just on the edge. Could be mega. But could turn to a bust fast if there is no more rain and if the supposed heat happens.

Best crop ever was in 2003, with a couple inches of well timed rains, but we had soil moisture to China that year, and the heat came later by a few weeks, so the rapid growth was over.

You can watch mice run down blooming canola rows here.

I can see them in the hay before I cut it too. No worries of running a fawn hiding in the grass through the discbine this year😉


Older stand looking like 1.5 bales an acre. Not used to having a dust cloud following me especially for first cut. I wonder what these bales will be worth? Pretty slim pickin’s around here. 🍀

This is like watching a slow burn ?
Wonder if any dumb son of a bitch will be stupid enough to predict a huge , huge , huge canola crop this year like that idiot did last year ??
Larry seems to be the only person that understands what’s happening in the next week to ten days ?
All the rest of them are still blowing about that billion dollar rain FFS

Bale worth = zero

guys will sell the cows...

And then provincial government phucktards will talk about the potential of feedlots in saskatchewan after they have decimated the cow calf guy...and subsidies galore for feedlot guys...big business you know....

Never mind the chicken and egg story...can't have a feedlot without cow calf guys.

Horse people don’t give up no matter how expensive. Haha my wife has plenty of them. I tell any single guys I know to marry one that likes diamonds, they’ll be way ahead in the long run, not to mention the up and down moods depending how the horse was that day.

Not like that here, would burn my hay before listening to all the crying about hay costs from someone sitting in a Buick.
