Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[furrowtickler]

Shortages have caught many off guard. Best to get the parka out again…..

Ya that’s the concerning part . We don’t want to be waiting for 2 -3 weeks for something we need during seeding .
We had a seal kit ordered in mid seeding last year , got it in August . Patched it together to finish seeding . So if we had a big shop I would have gone through everything a few months ago .
Hopefully we have no surprises, but there always seems to be something. Fingers crossed everything runs somewhat smooth and no costly delays when we do get going cause the seeding window will be small here I think

A farm in Manitoba is going green taking water and hydrogen and electricity and making anhydrous ammonia using cheap Manitoba hydro and solar panels. Farm is 11000 acres I always wondered if something would work like this on a farm scale but I bet the middle man will **** it up and make it non affordable for the farmer to buy.


Good idea

Shortages are causing issues already.. making my Morris Contour 1 into a canola drill... ordered the openers and the Bourgault V packers last Sept.. openers came in end of Mar.. packers can't be found anywhere.. If this holds true, I'm thinking there are going to be a lot of New drills that don't get delivered/used this spring.. Bourgault doesn't have any rubber packer caps for 5710s..

Simple ignition switch for a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 can't be found.. 1800 back ordered and no idea when they will be delivered.. this has been going on for months.

these are just the things I've found to be in short supply.

That might be a game changer.

Have you got any links for that?

[Old Cowzilla]

Gezus you guys. I ain’t pulling out the drill until I can’t see a snow bank and can work outside with a light jacket on.

That’s 2 weeks away. Soil is so cold can’t even think about seeding yet.

Crawled over a snow bank to order parts for airdrill the other day parts should be here next week so we can work on dry grass. Seen some new JD drills on lowbeds today going through town somebody out west is going to be happy. When it warms up or above normal a guys gonna be puffing like a race horse the first couple of days working on stuff.

Can hardly see the drill in the WHITE cover! Be 2 weeks to move it.
"Shortages are all over and the latest is Zero Turn lawn mowers", Kubota can't source gas engines apparently.

We were right at the edge of the drought line it was 5 miles west of us and about 7 south. We had good crops in the 80s. But yes in comparison what was given back then vs now is a huge difference and yet one guy wants to limit who gets crop insurance.

The Conservatives have dropped the ball but I blame that on piss poor guys running for office that don't get Ag at All. They all are like BOBOO I have been to a farm. Like, **** me.

John Barlow is a former newspaper editor. And many MPs say they have been to a farm or are from one.

That doesn't qualify an MP to know what they are talking about.

Sounds like a great Idea, but where do you find green natural gas to make Nh3?

No worries, just wait for the electric ones that will cost twice as much and only run for an hour at a time .

[SASKFARMER]

The article I think I read on farms. com google it.

I always thought there had to be a way so a large farm or Hutt Colony could own one.

Your dealership should clear their snow more regularly then.

[Hamloc]

Looks like southern Manitoba and Saskatchewan are supposed to get it again this weekend. We still have some snow left from the storm 3 days ago.

[beaverdam]

Saskfarmer, can you post the link for this map. or anyone else that has the link.

[furrowtickler]

Not sure how accurate that is for our area unless this changes quick ..

Once all installed the liquid phos tubes will be secured to seed tubes
We just welded two tight fitting nut on back of seed tub and have the splitter up top on frame then to manifolds . Has worked very well this way for 8 years on this unit . Just new style openers now

interesting , will the liquid phos just dribble from the blue pipes behind opener ? i also use liquid but not for the phos , that is dry and goes down with the seed , but i would like to go all liquid , i have bourgault openers that are suposed put the 28-0-0 about an inch and a half to the side , works realy good on wheat , do you also seed your conola one pass with that setup ? i have been a bit scared to put 100 lbs N and the sulphur that near the seed , also i dont think the fert is put deep enough seeding conola that way , so i band all the N and sulphur before seeding
