Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

He doesn't have to isolate if he is fully vaccinated. What a marooooon.

He is either on a plane already with the excuse he is at home or he is " just in " hiding.

on another topic, Pierre Poilievre nailed it about the media.

As usual Poilievre is on target with his comments and questions
Is this the one you are referring to;
"When was the last time the press gallery went through the social media posts of every single person attending a left-wing protest to find & report every crazy comment made?"

Thats the one.

I liked the fact that CBC stuck a microphone in a black trucker's face for comment. How does Trudeau call him a racist?

Good thing Smokey the bear is hibernating. Just cleaning up some brush piles from a few years ago since the wind is reasonable finally. Trying to get this quarter ready to seed to alfalfa pasture this spring. First time I’ve done it since dad is off clearing fence lines a few miles away. Thankfully we got some snow so no risk of it running away. Going good so far just using the loader to push it up. The piles are pretty clean so there shouldn’t be much left.


Yesterday was warm enough to do the not so sexy job related to having bovines. Always seems to accumulate quicker than the will to shovel it out😎

Bought some sc****rs down around by SF that we have to drag home. Got a trucker buddy who’s game for it and didn’t run away to Ottawa thankfully. Should get them next week supposedly.

Got all the cows out in fresh corn so the chores are minimal for a while. Love that stuff🍀

Snow report………
Had lots but is settling a lot and hilltops are baring off. Next week sounds cold again so who knows………..

I checked Calgary weather forecast, seeing some days around 10 degrees. The snow should be gone?

Last 2 weeks only 2 daytime highs below zero, 12 degrees for today. Didn't have much snow to start with, patchy in the fields because of the drifts. Really a carbon copy of last winter so doesn't bode well for spring. On the bright side we're getting lots done

We're further east than you, about 30 miles off the sask border, but yea, it's been unseasonably warm. Looks like below average cold is back next week however. Snow is by and large gone. If you dodged the few drifts that are out there, you could go anywhere you wanted in the fields with a two wheel drive truck with summer tires on no problem.

Not quite a carbon copy of last year, here... I would say temeratures have been fairly similar. Last year, we didn't have a low temperature below -12 in the whole month of January until about the 23rd. The difference is we had GOBS of snow last year. I was starting to run out of easy places to push it to, the snow machines were ripping around, and the kids were loving the snow hills! I have one small pile of snow beside the yard entrance this year and that's it.

Essentially all stored bushels are gone here as of now.

I'm thankful that I had other things to occupy my mind with rather than markets, because procastination has paid off fairly well so far. I didn't bite on any forward contracts prior to harvest, nor did I get bit by being unable to fill them. I didn't hit the absolute top, but durum and peas i managed about 95% of max, and mustard I suppose i managed 80% of what the rumor mill is saying guys are fetching right now. That mustard price was still more than 3x what I've historically averaged... Bonkers.

That said, there wasn't alot to haul... Alot of years I can put close to 25,000 km on the truck hauling grain, but this year I think its closer to 8000.

I'm thoroughly disgusted by prices for pretty much every single input this upcoming year, especially when you combine it with the insignificant snow pack, and essentially 0% moisture reserve.

I've certainly netted less on the farm with significantly better crops, but not a damned bit of that meager surplus is going to stay in my jeans this year it would seem.

[Freightshaker]

Doing what we’ve been doing the past couple months with no grain to haul and not much to fix in the shop. Taking the older one out for a skate every noon hour. Some on here like to spend their whole day arguing over covid, I recommend you get out and enjoy your kids or grandkids. You’ll thank me later.

[SASKFARMER]

Thanks Freight shaker, for the great idea get out and spend time with family and friends it is the best thing to do. Time goes by fast, Today i found out a golf buddy from Newfoundland won't be swinging the clubs any more on Mondays with me. Taken too early just retired in September. You never know.

It’s. Minus. 20. Here.
