Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Partners]

A few years ago a Mastin seeds I believe in southern Alberta was marketing a polish called “early one”. It was apparently a high yielder.

Wonder if he still has some? Could be a way to save a small fortune in seed.

The earliest one we know of is Dekalb 93sc..
We have 500 acres of that stuff..

And what will happen when those contracts can't be filled????

Did anyone roll contracts they couldn’t fill from fall 21 to fall 22? Heard some companies were doing it, taking the spread between locked in price and price when the roll was done. Could be guys delivering 8 dollar canola while the truck behind them delivers 28

RP rep said today no price in yorkton for canola for sept/oct/Nov. All booked up with forward contracts..
Oh my..

Yep like their old crop oats are all full and every 2-3 weeks comes a 10$ special
It’s all horseshit

They are full of shit , there is no way
They pulled bids cause price is too high
Or …. There is a vast amount of very foolish farmers . I would guess the first though

Thinking prices will sky rocket given the acres that actually gets seeded..
Lots of high roller farms...

We got 3 or 4 tenths today. Eastern Alberta. Puts us around 1/2 inch this year. Not out of the woods yet. Good luck to those who are fighting the opposite problem. One upside for you guys is that there very likely will be a good market for any crops that can be cut and baled for feed. Grass is short but many will keep their cattle over the summer. Next winter is where the crunch will come. Feed supplies have to be at an all time low.

I believe one friend put it this way...

We have a half dozen hay bales, 13 straw, and a tandem load of silage left. I suppose thatd be enough if we had 50 cows and not 400?

Lots of cows headed to short or pathetic grass in area here. It sure seems tempting but the lost grazing in fall adds up quick. Still sitting on a bunch of silage and busy seeding so moving out to grass will be June like normal for us. Hay at auction is bringing $100 for crummy slough hay and $250 for nicer stuff.

Good prices for culls may thin the herd quicker than expected……………..

Watched pairs sell for $1650 today………… ouch! especially after feeding that expensive cow chow all winter

Some areas froze last night and crop could have been up.

But the experts will say all is great in Western Canada.

We may have a window this week. Starting to dry out. Tuesday start if all goes well.
