Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[woodland]

Finally finished seeding the other day. Quite a marathon with temperamental iron/cows and parts issues etc.


Used the old school versatile on the harrows until my brother finished ripping the “unavailable” compound turbo off the new to us NH. Replaced a $7k turbo and $11k gearbox with three feet of exhaust flex pipe. Seems good so far but might chip it to make up the power difference possibly.


Got a half inch the other day and that was great. So nice to not have choking dust in the corrals today while working pairs. Moving them out is always fun………. Besides the perennial fence and waterer fixing.😉
The newer pastures look ok-ish and the old ones are pretty bare. Hopefully Ma Nature remembers to kick the sprinklers in every now and then out here. The cows and us would definitely appreciate it.🍀

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

Beautiful!!
Sure must piss your nieghbors off that you can seed that good without an independent $1M drill, lol

That looks like a great crop in some beautiful dirt. Good job😎

Last seeded corn is coming up. Surprised that it came up for how dry it was when it went in.

Bluebells are out which is one of the perks of checking fence this time of the year.

And we do live in “Wild Rose Country” after all……… 😎

Spraying wheat

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.

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
