Good Morning you may ask why I'm up at the crack of dawn and happy. Well, Plant 2022 is in the books as of Tuesday afternoon.
Now did the drills get put away? The answer is simple No. We could custom seed 2000 plus more acres as the phone has been ringing and texts coming in.
We are going north to seed a bit more but that's it I'm done with seeding.
South of the valley a few rigs still going and north of us it's just like it's May 16th drills all over going. Rain makes mud, not grain.
I do have one Beef with Sask Crap insurance. When a drought hits and guys on the west side have all sorts of things going on they seem to bend backward over doing changes asking for help from Ottawa etc. The east side asks that the days for seeding get extended and all we get is crickets. So guys are seeding 24/7 in the mud etc to beat the June 10th deadline for some crops.
Just like the years it flooded we got one check then they called those areas that got bigger sloughs and the program died and turned to shit. So 160-acre quarter that was flooded became a 100-acre quarter for crop insurance purposes.
So here is the crop Report.
Seeding for us and a lot of neighbors is done but for our area and province, it's about 86%. Some Big dogs I know are wrapping up this week.
Guys have started to spray in crop wheat that went in early on days we could actually seed in May. Some early canola has issues like always with these new stupid treatments that do piss all and flea beetles are out and some have started to spray.
Our peas will get sprayed first then we will start the wheat and do barley. This year it will be a clean tank every few days. Early seeded first then early canola back to late seeded wheat then late seeded canola.
Stone picking is also happening more and more it was a bad winter for rocks growing I guess because everyone is finding the little ****ers.
Kind of glad I didn't take on the extra land.
Did have one tractor make it to the end with an injector going and that will have to be fixed. We did have one drill go down last week and had to run North for parts but had it back a day later.
I honestly think we have Shrinkflation on Fertilizer. They charge way more and it seems a ton just isn't a ton anymore.
It's nice to see plants growing decent except where I drifted into my own wheat that's not fun to look at.
Total rain since May 1 is 4.17 but that is after the 5 in we had last fall so were wet for a while.
Chemical is getting delivered and seed is getting taken back.
Ok here is the question I have for everyone. Remember last fall they were talking about shortages of Fertilizer, Anhydrous, Round up Canola seed, and some sprays for 2022.
WHAT A TOTAL CROCK OF F U C K I N G SHIT THAT WAS. We were all played and screwed by our suppliers.
Just looking at the old stock of Round up and replacing it with new eventually. My 5.32 semi load of 16 big totes was $85,120.00. To replace today. $216,960.00. So if my wheat was 8 last year and it is 15 now or less it didn't go up 3 tiles to$ 24.00 a bushel ****ers. So the old grain prices went up we have to match is also bullshit. We got ****ed is the reality.
Ah, that feels better but wait.
BOBOO our idiot and yes it doesn't matter if she is a woman this woman is an idiot. First last week she was saying that she couldn't do anything with the 35% tariff on Canadian farmers on Russian fertilizer. Even if we're the only country in the world adding it to our farmers' costs.
Then She comes out and says farmers should cut fertilizer use for the good of the planet and gives money to some shit show idea to make screenings or something into fertilizer. Whatever.
Then she cries and says farmers should seed as much as they can to save the world from food shortages.
Make up your ****ing mind.
But this week BOBOO ups her game and hits the provinces with a new plan. See it's time to renegotiate the Risk MAnagement programs in Canada. Well, what do the idiots from Ottawa do they want to push farmers into Electic combines and tractors and trucks so they want to add Environmentally Carbon neutral to the Risk management programs.
You Want Crop insurance to prove you are doing everything in your power to go green, You ordered an electric Combine and Generator for the field it will be ready in 2055. You get a discount, your neighbor didn't well **** that he gets penalized. Let's add in a 30% fertilizer reduction for good measures.
I said this group of idiots was going first after oil and gas but now it's farmers they want to end. It's time to take the gloves off and call a ****ing fool a ****ing fool. Being nice has got us to know where.
Sort of like skippy can't figure out why the airports are a problem he has zero problems with airports because he flys private on the Gov Jets missing the shit show.
I am worried I have to fly to Ontario and into Toronto airport in July then onward will it still be a shit show.
Well off to the farm clean out the sprayer, wash and get ready for some weeds in peas and early wheat and barley.
Have a great day, those still seeding push onward you will get it, to the rain coming Monday just a half-inch would be all not the 2. Stay safe and take care it's just a crop that they are already trying to take.
