Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[Hamloc]

We are just over 90% done.

Barley yields on average were 85% of last year, would be close to average long term yields.
HRS wheat yield was on average similar to last year with as Saskfarmer mentioned elevated ergot levels.
Yellow peas were a disaster yielding just under 40% of last year.
My canola yields are up from last year about 10% which put them just above the mid 40’s per acre, certainly less than what we had hoped for. I had 4 varieties planted, my best yielding was L345, go figure.
Overall mother nature turned off the taps too soon and their was no soil reserve, crops just ran out of gas and of course more than one round of hail didn’t help either. Very damn dry, would certainly welcome rain!!

One more dumb F U C K says harvest pressure is driving crop prices lower can go to HELL, It's not 1928, some farms have larger storage than a New Concrete elevator on the farm.

.

Yes some farms have enough storage to store their entire crop. But do they also own railways and car fleets that are capable of moving the entire crop in September? Industry cant move it all off the combine no matter how much storage there is. Will always be more guys wanting to haul in Sept than January.

Trade says she a whopper of a crop, maybe should sell everything now before prices take a further nose dive.
Winter weather says brutal cold who wants to fire up equipment in Jan?

Even if most farms forward priced a small amount..
The trains are filling up.
Good yields with some locked in prices make for a great $$$$ to start with..
The rest can stay in the bins..after inputs are covered..

Crops here won't cover the inputs.

Rained here all day yesterday. Not lots, but enough to make dirt road impassable. High was 12. Just finished baling. That feeling of completing a task before a nice rain never gets old. Rain will help new hay and pastures recover. This area was weirdly dry.

September weather finally showed up.

A miracle happened this year in this area. For a mainly June seeded crop and to have it half harvested by now is amazing. Haven’t heard lots of yields yet. Variable is what I can say. From awesome to less than awesome and everything in between.

Good luck getting it done. Forecast is kind of iffy now. Lots of swathed cereals. I’ll never understand that I guess.

We had a short day yesterday, only managed 200 acres and at 8pm we were crawling at 1mph with all combined grunting time to quit. Cart auger decided to screw up yesterday also, flighting welds let loose from shaft so spent last night heating, cutting, a lot of sledge hammering and welding, but ready to put back in this morning. Looking like a small day today with the fog heavy this morning.

I do like the one liner though …. “Crops here are decent enough 65-70 some up to 90-100”

No sure how interpret the “decent”

Oh well

How do you like the 9.9 ?
We like ours so far
Be nice to push a little more through and keep rotor loss down .
Still learning ours but very happy so far .
