Stats Can Seeding intentinons

[WiltonRanch]

Maybe a little backyarditis here. Wheat and canola appear to be big crop intentions followed by feed barley. Don’t see any big swings outside of normal acres. Seems to be a shortage of oat and barley seed but majority of those acres ends up as cow chow and seed yields on those last year weren’t good. Planned to put more oats in this year but second guessing myself if intentions come to fruition. Shouldn’t even worry but oats can flood markets easy if like old days.

Unless the Liberty trucks (chem) start showing up the canola acreage number might still be a little high.

Thats the other factor that will keep a lid on any more canola acres. Its a hide and seek game with some retail companies. there is product out there but they are claiming there is none, unless of course you bought seed from them. Not going over well from a farmers perspective. Retails are simply trying to force farmers hands..... it will come back to bite them next fall. There are lots of options, don't be dictated too, DYODD

Appears most in the canola growing areas are on a every other year rotation.

Hard to even call that a rotation. That’s like a wheel with two lugs. Something’s missing! We used to laugh at corn-bean-corn-bean.

Here we are, now Wheat-canola-canola-wheat-canola-canola

Great for the soil and diversity! Not a whole lot of choice, but I don’t see it as sustainable long term.

World looking for plant protein , but we got our azz handed to us with faba beans last year, they don’t do drought .
May just put in enough for seed for next year.
Peas still risky here for root rot , being dry will help with that but they too can’t handle dry .
I wish I had the whole farm into wheat last year. HRSW held out by far the best .

Canola pushed back to its traditional areas will make for some interesting meetings at seed companies and potential crush plant concerns. Idea of a crush plant in Regina will look even more foolish. I think we are in a drying pattern for the last 4 years and probably another 15 before it reverts.

Yea why not Tisdale ??

Regina east can grow lots of canola and it does. Moose Jaw to Manitoba border

What about Crime Town… NB ?
Perfect location, water , rail , major hiway intersection point …
Nah , makes too much sense

I was trying to figure out the town in New Brunswick you were talking about. Ha. Yeah you could load barges and ship her right to Churchill from there. Stop at Nipawin and top up the loads.
