Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[seldomseen]

Guys relax! Those bad memories of frost and late harvests was the old days before the earth started heating up and Canada 3 times faster that the rest of the world. Should be plenty of time to mature a crop in these modern times and years and years catastrophe warming!

68-69 somewhere in there ,the powers that be traded wheat for a demo Allis Chalmers D21 I think 90cents /bushell. , they were too cheap to put AC in it , so a bycool cab cooler, had her already for the day, full of water, neighbour got stuck ,I unhooked, and drove thru a ditch to cross the road to pull him out.
That was one cold shower of ice cold water thru that fan.
First AC was a new 75 steiger what a dream, cool clean, bostrum seat,no getting stuck, and it would actully turn at the end of the field

This is what I was told by a retailer trying to promote some kind of new crap.

“Min 2 bushel bump guarantee in cereal for $14.5 an acre almost seems like a no brainer this year”.

With high commodity prices wonder how many gullible guys he talked this into.

Sorry I’m not the guinea pig anymore.

If it’s so good let me try 160 ac.

Even though you can’t buy much fert for $14 ac I would use more of that ... to me that’s a “no brainer”.

I have a question for those who remember trading wheat for goods.
If the board was the only legal buyer.
What did the takers of grain for goods do with it?
Store it and wait for the quota to open and sell on their book? Still hard for a dealer to pay JD with a 4 bu quota.
Smuggle it?
Needing more stories to tell the young guys. How could anyone defend that stuff??

Dad tells me back in those days with 4 bu quota they’d haul on quotas of hill farmers and drunks who didn’t grow much more than wild oats and feed. When final payment came out the drunks had a good drunk. The honest old guys would give it to dad which would be split. I honestly couldn’t understand how anyone with half a brain would support the you know what if remembering those times.
