Pretty obvious the way the crop year finished for moisture from mid July in south Central Alberta that it's dry, but had the excavator going on a project today in barley stubble and it's powder right from the surface down 4 ft. ,thinking that the chances of a repeat of last year's drought are very real in this area for sure unless there's a drastic change.

Anyone notice this drought is being ignored by politicians and farm groups that say they represent us?
It doesn't make the agenda on the ag committee in Ottawa.
All I hear is that farmers are passing their costs on to make food more expensive. That is a false narrative by the conservatives and I wish they would quit saying it.

How is it even possible to “pass on any cost†unless you are selling direct ?
On the drought ,no one cares harvest is essentially done and the headlines will only talk about the 20% that had a great crop , and completely ignore the 50% to 75% of western Canada still had drought reduced crop , some severe.

Hurry up and sell this crop and give it away so we can go buy the ridiculous priced fert and glyphosate before it rockets higher. May as well stock up on fuel for next yr while you are at it before it gets out of control … actually it is already.
Big talk is recession …. It’s far past that now.
It’s DEPRESSION!!

West central Alberta is beyond dry too. Going to start on some tillage tomorrow and it’s definitely going to be interesting.
Hold on to your hats for next year if the moisture situation doesn’t improve. ðŸ€
I also see a few grain piles on the ground. Wondering how the two mix, might drive by one day and discover the pile is a few feet shorter as a crack swallows it up.
