Another hot dry week and it looks to continue…………….


My youngest daughter and Bubba came and spent time with me to clean moo poo out of the liner. Then I washed it out to see how bad the floor was and it’s worse than I expected. Now to track down some aluminum checker plate to patch it up.


Cows are doing good considering the heat lately. Prices are creeping up on yearlings which great and hopefully can keep going. The grass has stopped growing and alfalfa is fully bloomed due to the dryness. The later seeded oats is burning up and it’ll be run through the chopper instead of the combine. Don’t need the silage but it’s better than feeding or selling a bunch of light oats.

The early seeded canola is doing much better thankfully. Might be 80% of normal which is a pleasant surprise. Our later stuff which never germinated till it rained in June is burning on the hills and not very pretty.
Very surprised to see the corn putting out two cobs on most plants. Always amazed at how it grows so much volume on such little water compared to cereals. I wonder if it’s roots can out compete the weather to finish filling the cobs? Time will tell…….

Early barley and peas are just getting started on around here and look decent from the road. Great harvest weather at least.

Good luck everyone. Kinda hoping for some rain here but others may not share my enthusiasm for that right now🍀

Surprise so many people still swathing. Hard to imagine laying canola down anymore.

I find hard to watch standing canola weeks after we harvest...

Different worlds , leaving er stand has its risks
Early snow , waiting forever for low spots , uneven moisture is dynamite in bins .
We swath some straight cut some
No one shoe fits all here

FJ, some do not know what its like in the swamp, never had to push a header through mud or "cut above the water"
lots here lost 100% on straight cut canola after a very minor hail storm last fall, swathed was either long combined or recieved about 20% damage on top of swath.
another guy here said "anyone over 40 should not straight cut canola"
