Another nice week but the temps are changing and nights are now going past zero. Did get min worked as we had snow on Monday. Just an inch but still cold for a few days. Total rain for the year will come in just under 10 inches and most was since August.
We finally got back in the fields and things went well. We're down to a half section to harrow and a half to work sloughs and clean.
Most guys are done outside projects but now is when the big toys come out. Yesterday cats, Track hoes rock trucks pull dozers, sc****rs, etc were all working in our area. It's a great fall to clean up everything you think you need to clean up. Some guys say they got back up to 600 acres from the flood years.
Those acres will grow next summer if it's dry again.
The fertilizer game continues its a joke all farmers know that just the CEOs of Fert companies and share holders think we spend more because crop prices are good now. **** crop prices could be half next fall and we're going to pay double for fert. **** you.
BASF said the price of liberty is going up, yep 26% funny if you wanted you couldn't buy up excess stock.
Land deals are taking place in our area some juggling between renters and farmers. Funny some guys just don't get the program put it up for public tender get the better renter and get paid a decent price. Land purchases were just the massive sale to the Alberta farm company from Lethbridge. No, it's not the Hutts.
Equipment is fun to look at and try to purchase. One piece we looked at a year ago is still priced the same but now has a 20000 steel charge so it's 20000 more money.
Fun times.
The organic guy swath his flax but the amount of green it won't be harvested till spring. Very little there maybe a bushel an acre.
The late seeder has about 1000 acres to go barley is done now the wheat. Barley wasn't bad wheat didn't fair as good. With the weather changing and next week's snow, I would say he won't finish.
Cattle are getting taken home. Bales are getting picked and late guys are still rolling straw or green feed.
This will be the last crop report of the year since next Wednesday I'm heading south. Might do one from the road.
To all talk to your neighbors be safe and have a great sunny warm day.
