A question about too wet

I believe it’s mandatory. $50,$70,$100 are the options.

I always take the max. History in this neck of the woods says it’s much better odds than Rich Strike.

Farmer always decides on what is and is not seedable. Highly variable from field to field and crop to crop.
No doubt in my mind seedling 2022 is now officially a salvage operation. Get what you can in and established and collect insurance.
Experience from 2005,06,07,09,2010 taught us to expect 25-50% normal yield when mudding in a crop. The only reason why we need to mud in the 2022 crop is to get something established on some acres in order to collect crop insurance for cash flow.

Think positive.
Last yr we worked into November on nice days..
Calendar means zip..it only makes stress none of us need..
The 100 buck an acre insurance is tiny compared to what is needed or the potential that could be made..
Farming not for the weak of Heart..
The guys who retired and got excellent $$$for equipment or locked in the 100 buck rent are sure not regretting their decisions..
Let's see how this pans out..
Remember..your not alone..

Although I too farm, I am grateful I don't farm where some of you do.
The extremes are incredible.

I’ll keep going till the 20 th of June and then it’s crop insurance. Inputs get cut back in two weeks.

IMO for this year because the coverage levels for SCIC are pretty good for most crops like canola, a lot of effort will be made to get something planted. Its way higher than the unseed able benefit plus better to have something growing on wet ground. Floaters are getting geared up to spread. I remember in my parts in 99 we harrowed on lots of canola and it kinda works. I know there will be no ad hock payments other than what insurance is bought. Even the margin insurance outfits need a crop planted for coverage I understand from what I am told.

Check last seeding dates for your area, ours is June 8 Canola, wheat.

Yes EXTREMES! Lots of COLD and SNOW chances Thursday over most of Sk, IF accurate.

Not to burn the high tech drills, but I sure glad we have the obsolete, light 8810 with HD packers in the soggy mud fields ahead..

Not changing plans and will be seeding into June, confident in the Invigor varieties I grow, a nice warm June and July can move crops along quickly. Two years ago I was combining on May 3 and it snowed like hell on May 9, had a decent crop that year, no point calling Scott Moe and saying we need a disaster declared just yet.

Cattle guys would be wise to start making deals on some later seeded crops to ensure they have feed.

How many cattle guys are going to be left after this year? I think their might be a glut of hay and garbage crops this fall.

1/2 the guys around me have already said its the last year. Death loss this spring, with high inputs and no jump in cattle prices. Renting and selling land is much more attractive than razor thin cow margins.
