Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

On he positive side, canola looks good!😉

Lol. Eternal optimist.

Looks like a Rorschach test for liberals. What do you see. Bumper crop…..

Swathing Timothy 12 days later than last year.
Much heavier crop than last year. Really impressed with the amount of water Timothy can grow and thrive in!
With the amount of rain we had in May and June this field would have had huge drowned out areas if the normal field crops.

Curious how long does that Timothy have lay and what kind yields it can do? None is combined anywhere close to me. Always interesting to see how others do something that’s foreign to me👍

Heard sand hill cranes tonight
They on the move

That means something?

Takes about a week to dry out. First year I grew it we got close to 500lb then last year with no rain it was down around 325lb. Looks better this year than the first two years so hopefully yields better also.

If ur getting 68 heads a square foot and 36 kernels average per head, ur in for a surprise. Unless ur using 20 for thousand kernel weight…..

Do you have a different formula? How do you calculate yield, from the stand?

We used this one ..it was very close..

Estimating Yield
Grain yield can be estimated prior to harvest. Remember this is just an estimate as field conditions are rarely uniform. The general formula to estimate grain yield is:

For 7” row spacing:

Wheat: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0319

Barley: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0389

Oats: Grain yield (bu/acre) = (kernels per spike x spikes per 3 ft of row) x 0.0504



To adjust to other row spacing:

6 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 1.17

7.5 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.93

10 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.70

12 inch row width = multiply grain yield estimate by 0.58

1/4 to 3/4 of a inch last night lots of lodging happening in Barley and Canary seed.

[SASKFARMER]

14x3= 42

42x 94heads = 3948

3948 x .0319 = 125.94

10 in spacing

125.94x.70=88.16

Aren’t yield monitors the most accurate?? 😂😂😂
We are paying huge dollars for these things they should be spot on.
It’s too hot to go out and grab plants and count. Better have a 18 pack if you do so. 😆
