Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[seldomseen]

Thanks also Sk Farmer for keeping this going. Always looking forward to the weekly crop report.
Most harvest in done in this area but the big story for us is continued dryness, Are fields are completely drained and no rain seems to come up in this corner. If no rain shows this fall and we have a dryer winter it will look dismal in the spring especially with high input prices!

5% left here. Still a lot to learn on this standing canola strategy. One variety here didn't shatter its pods, it dropped them whole!
Looking forward to an easier seeding season with no trash issues and time to fix potholes, ruts etc.
Drought still with us. Equinox season with only a tenth of rain. When is this going to break?

To all grain companies thanks for fu king farmers this fall we won’t forget. Making up shit as they go I love the fees. Now the buy fertilizer and take a low price for your grain wow who dreams this shit up.

I love the call looking for grain and what’s our plan hope you liked the **** you I responded.


Farmers need to wake up and start acting like business men and say **** you more. They want something we’ll work together or kiss my ass.


Have a great day.

$11 wheat is out there.

Yes thank you Saskfarmer. We finished on Tuesday. My son and I are helping the neighbour down the road as his father is getting tests done in advance of shoulder surgery. It is certainly a good feeling to be done in September. Many jobs to do of course before winter..

Canola ended up averaging a little over 40 bushels to the acre. Pioneer 506 was highest yielding, then 255 and 340 was the lowest but also on the poorest land. 340 is easier to thresh than 255 but 506 was the nicest to thrash.

Good job SF😎
Still at 15% done here after crazy wind, lightning, and torrential rain last night that wasn’t in the forecast. The neighbours had some second cut raked but now it’s blown into the trees. The weather radar sure would be nice but it was showing nothing like usual.



We’re in the blank spot west of Edmonton. At least there wasn’t hail but it wouldn’t have surprised me since further west they got some.

This quarter had manure spread and worked in last fall. The second growth made a mess of it but at least it is off, dried and ready to become calf moo poo this winter.

The cows and grass have been loving all this late rain. Never dreamed we’d still be grazing yet. The hills are greener than they’ve been so far this year. Got enough moisture to blast in a bunch of fall rye at the last moment for next springs grazing hopefully. Kinda nice if it turns out to be able to kick the cows out sometimes a month earlier than regular grass

Starting to bring the cows slowly home and clean off the fields along the way. Always a nice feeling to shut down a water system, pick up the mineral tubs and know that you’re done with that field till next year.

The bow hunters have already taken some elk out of our corn which is nice since there is way too many of them destructive pests around here. Hopefully when rifle season opens they can really thin the queen’s herd out.

Congrats to everyone that’s done. Still lots of acres to cover, bales to pick, moo poo to spread, critters to vaccinate, and landscaping to be done here. Hopefully the sun sticks around for a while🍀

I agree with you 100 percent! I am to the point where Thursday is the only day worth checking this site. Thanks Saskfarmer! Galaxie500 nice ride!!! You can take a drive some afternoon and forget about everything for a period of time. That’s what I do in my Mustang.

Beauty time of year 👍

Agree with posters on this thread , S/F crop report is one of few things worth while free anymore.
I ignore most other threads now .
Good to see Errols insight now and then , and anyone else who sticks to ag related topics
You can tell who has farming in the blood on this site .

We were the recipients of a hail pounding Wednesday night. My canola still has green growth. That's still intact, the valuable ripe seeds are now on the ground. Contract fulfilment will be the next challenge this fall.
