Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[Sheepwheat]

Sheepwheat if you got plenty of grass and the critters are tromping it into organic matter that isn’t wasting. Far better to be building your soil when you can than pillaging it continuously like some folks do while grazing. I believe that soil is like karma………… hopefully some nice things done to it today will payoff down the road hopefully 😉

Totally true. I’ve been enjoying watching the soil rebuild and how fast it has been happening since incorporating animals. The piece I’ve been rolling out hay for a few years now, is green and lush with grasses and Forbes. And it was grainland. I never seeded it with grass, never fertilized it, yet there it is, lush dark green grass, seeded from the hay. Greg Judy and Gabe Brown (sorry, swear word in these parts), would be proud of me!

It is a luxurious year to be a stock grower in the greens dept.

[QUOTE=fjlip;542864]So someone help, why the sideways pictures? this stupid. Why limit picture size? Never a clear high def pic from my iPhone. Is this an apple thing?…

I always crop the top and bottom of the picture off to get it to be correctly oriented.

This is done by doing an edit to the picture which allows it to be cropped.

So who else thinks we just started to grow the most expensive crop ever in the history of farming in the world and the market is going to buy it for pennies on the dollar and laugh the whole time. **** we're a stupid breed oversupply oversupply.

Will now need 75 bushels per acre of canola to equal what I got last year.

[fjlip]

Is that variety pod shatter straight cut?

Yes, most Dekalb are. 7565 is very good also but discontinued. Please don't grow any non shatter.

Cropped

[fjlip]

Correct orientation but still low DEF?

Little bit of rain, mixed with bit of heat and boy does canola go to town.

Yup reality should be kicking to exactly what was going to happen
Gouge like bandits on high grain prices when virtually no one had any .
Base the massive increase on high grain prices , then as soon as input season just about done and grain prices tanking now input surpluses showing up , bastards

Got the heat, missed the rain. Now I got to go put another round of pounce on so the fcking beatles fck off for another week until the canola can leaf out a bit more.

Dont these things have a life cycle and die or they just keep munch all season long.

I was having a great day spraying today 1000 acres sprayed by 3:30 today and then everything went sideways, marble sized hail made a streak over a good portion of our land and halted spraying. Now get to deal with adjusters for the next while. This is one of the best looking crops we've had ever and will set back maturity on a slightly behind crop already. Everything in the vegetation stage so iycan almost guess how that conversation will go. Think I will just sit back and have a spiced rum and contemplate and check fields tomorrow when the roads are better.

They bring the lube, it won’t hurt at all….
