Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Sheepwheat]

Holy crap guys, stop posting pics! Prices will crash for sure after this rain event early next week, just watch.

But seriously, there is nothing hardly visibly green here yet. Like a few cereal fields seeded in May I guess is about two leaf. Partners your canola is WAY ahead of here. Barley emerging. And case, that wheat! Holy flipping cow.

Most people on here hate Dekalb but it sure works for us.

Whats the seed date on that.

sorry to crash on your party but we farm in the area and very few miles from you as the crow flies and fields are getting green. pastures are getting a good start in the area. enjoy!

It’ll be green in a week or so. Pasture and hay does look very very good. Except the alfalfa froze, but it’ll bounce back. Already getting green again.

I wish sharing pics was as easy for me, as some on here make it out to be!

Whereabouts you at? Generally if you don’t mind sharing.

i am within miles of you. and yes you can take pictures of late seeded quarters around to show its black. and yes we will have wet unseeded acres. but you also can take pics of green quarters around you. we are later then we would like to be, I will agree , but its not the end of the world. Shit happens.

I don’t think you’re as close to me as you assume, because 90% of the area at least, is not green. “A few miles” makes a big difference. I am about 25 miles in a straight line from partners beautiful canola. Most guys had very little in by June 1. I can stand on the high points on my pasture land land and look down at the farmland below where I can see several miles, and I repeat, there is zero green for many miles to the southwest. It’s later to the east, and earlier to the north. There are a couple emerging barley fields to the south that are scarcely green. I do think most everything is seeded in these parts. Like I said, an open fall, and we’re in for a potential bumper in these parts, just late. Can’t freeze till mid to late September, which has happened enough. It’s far less like the misery it was a couple weeks ago, that’s for sure!

Looked at my hayland again tonight , and where it didn’t freeze she’s jumping. Might be cutting some in a couple weeks. Next weeks rain will really make it go nuts. I like the grazing prospects compared to last year for sure. Easier to plan when regrowth is faster.

In contrast our last 97 acres of canola was seeded June 8th..

Started streaming a bit more N on with the PT unit


Got er set up yesterday morning. Will just do a few fields of our best land where canola has recovered well from frost / fleas .
At 10 gal / ac can cover 180 ac per fill now with this ole outfit , very reasonable cost per ac to run this over the HC

whats the blend?

[furrowtickler]

whats the blend?

Just straight 28-0-0 with a stabilizer.
Had 75 lbs down ahead , so this will put us around 100 .
Will do some then see if it actually does rain , if not the rest can stay in storage till next year .
If we miss this rain , we won’t even use the 75 lbs there already

Thus is an important rain on Monday. If it fails to materialize, I think some of mine will be let grow for cattle feed. Spray it in the fall for next year.

Gophers hoppers drought , not sure why I didn't see this coming.

Lots of signs last year.
Kicking my ass for trying harder this year. I knew better.

Being optimistic can really hurt when reality hits .
