Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sheepwheat]

What a difference a week makes. First half section which is some of our drier land only 20 or so sloughs to go around. We are not very far from sheep and haven’t gotten the heavy rains. About 4” for the month of May (so far). In our area I would say about 15-20% done. Pleased to be getting seed in the ground here and when a fellow thinks about it we are very fortunate. When you hear about the problems others around the world are dealing with. Like SF and Sheep say it’s just a crop and if you are doing all you can that’s all you can do.

I spent far too much time in my life under far too much stress and strain. We are all different, and I just couldn’t keep doing what I was doing and be healthy mentally. Kudos to those who operate well under the conditions. It’s amazing to me how y’all do it. Kind of like being a mortician isn’t for everyone.

The precip that screwed this area was the two inches of rain followed by the ten hours of heavy wet snow. In my feed buckets in the yard, it totalled well over three inches of moisture that day.. take away an inch of it, it would have been different.

Just took a very dead skunk up North and the hay is growing by the minute. So there is that. It’s far, far better than last year.

There was no maple tapping this year, red leaf. I hope you have enough carryover to get you through! Ha.

Tyranny begets return tyranny. Beware public backlash! Glad to see judges finally standing up to tyranny as in Tammara Lich will be exonerated of all wrong-doing ……and hopefully will sue their tyrannical asses off. Donations to Centre for Freedom will probably be next for mandatory seizure of bank accounts. What a ****ry we live in ! How could anyone defend the tyrrany unless they were paid to do it?

Cross your fingers for sept 23. That’s when Brian Peckfords SCC challenge is heard for Trudeau violating our constitution. Then you will know if Canada is a real country or not.

I guess it didn’t help pushing that bush did get 66 extra feet for a half mile.

18 miles to town. Took two separate roads there and back. 4 total fields seeded. Lots of ruts. A couple fields harrowed. Lots of ruts there too. Sloppy, slimy. One neighbor pulled into the field to harrow, went a half round, made ruts, and left. So that is 144 quarters along the road. 4/144*100=2.78% complete, not far from my guesstimate. And it’s dryer that way than here. Rain tomorrow afternoon, overnight and rain and cold off and on for the 14 day forecast. 10 of 14 days going forward have zero sun, several highs of 13 to 16, and high precip probability.


It ain’t looking good out here. Plain sick.

So glad for the lengthened growing seasons due to the climate change. And the copious rain, makes plenty of grain, remember that!

Cudos to the farmers that didn’t get much of a crop last yr but managed to work up the gumption to put one in this yr. One of the most stressful yrs I can remember. Even when we were flooded 10yrs ago or droughted out in the 80s prices were stable. All bets off this year.

Apparently 2 passes of Liberty is $35 per acre. Wow.

Just rolling left. Looks like 4 days of rain starting Saturday.

Finished Monday. And now the nerve wracking until it's all up and waiting for an ever disappearing rain.
I hate seeding LoL.
We're all in the same trade.
Good luck to all.

Looks like we can start spraying peas on Monday… nice to see they are up.

Wheat just up… Canola just started to emerge.

Soil is cold… slow…

Rain would be very welcome… we are running on empty…

Cheers

PLEASE take ours! One drop is too many for the land around here. 20% will not be seeded, weeds.

Should finish tomorrow on last of feed. Even second seeding season might be completed now unless I decide to broadcast more stuff in wet spots. Lucky we got a good dump of rain last week. Totally lucky we’re not too wet nor too dry so far. Wheat emerging, barley and oats starting to poke out. For as dry and no issues there are enough guys with enough acres to put in. Think people were almost waiting for rain or a sign from the heavens to start. The perennial late starters fired up 4 days ago. So far so good touch wood.

Finished seeding today. Some rolling left to do. Was looking forward to some rain this weekend. I see that has changed no rain in the forecast now. Western Canada appears to be a place of 2 solitudes, either too wet or too dry. We have adequate moisture for germination, but that is all. I do hope that it drys out for those of you under water.

Hope for the best everyone.... the world needs the food we grow... like never before! Many Blessings!!!
